You are fully covered by the insurance for damages against third parties. For damages caused to the scooter, or theft of the scooter, the insurance reduces the amount to be paid to an excess – in a case of compliance with the rental agreement. There is also the possibility to get an excess reduction for your scooter insurance.

Extras and batteries/chargers (in the case of electric motorcycles) are NOT included in the insurance.

The insurance which is already included in the rental price covers third party damages. Additionally, it also includes road assistance inside specific radius outside the shop. The damages on the scooter or theft are covered with a excess from 600€ to 4000€, depending on scooter type. All the accessories (helmets, top case, GPS, gloves, lock etc.) are not covered by the insurance and are paid apart in case of loss or damage.

 

Yes. But you should consider the limits: the renter is not allowed to drive outside the city or on a highway with a 50cc scooter. With 125cc+ scooter the renter is allowed to drive outside the city. But remember that the road assistance service only covers the area of 100km radius outside the rental shop.
