Q: How does the rental process work?
A: Please complete the online form, then come into our store. You will need to bring in a valid form of ID (either driver's license or passport) and a Credit Card. Rentals are pre-payment, so the first month/week rental is paid in-store with your credit card, and thereon automatically debited via your bank account on a monthly or weekly basis. For example, if you rent an eScooter for $110 per month on the 1st January- when you collect the scooter in store, you must pay $110 upfront. Every month or week thereon is debited from your bank account automatically until you return the eScooter. If you return it within one month (before 1st February), then there are no further charges. If you decide to use it for 3 months, then there will be a direct debit charge of $110 on the 1st February and 1st March. If you have any further questions, please give us a call.
