If you rent out bicycles, you record the agreements in a bicycle rental agreement. In this agreement, you regulate, among other things, the rental price and period, the deposit, the condition of the bicycle, and who is liable in the event of damage or theft. Good terms and conditions prevent disputes and limit your risk.
Bicycle rental and the rental agreement
Bicycles are popular, including among tourists, and you can rent bicycles in many places. In doing so, you enter into a rental agreement for movable property. Just as with other rentals, you set out the rights and obligations of the lessor and the lessee in that agreement.
Rental price, period and deposit
Stipulate the rental price and the rental period, and what happens in the event of a late return. If you require a deposit, specify the amount and when you may withhold it (partially), for example in the event of damage or the bicycle being missing. A deposit provides you with security and an incentive to return the bicycle in good condition.
Condition of the bicycle and liability
Document the condition of the bicycle at the start (possibly with photos) so that you can demonstrate afterwards which damage is new. Determine who is liable in the event of damage, theft, or loss, and within what limits. You cannot shift your liability without limit to consumers, but you can make clear, reasonable agreements.
Further conditions
Also consider agreements regarding usage (for example, not for rental to third parties), locking, any insurance, and what to do in the event of a breakdown. Clear general terms and conditions included with your rental agreement make your bicycle rental business professional and legally sound.
