Q:What’s the insurance coverage during the tour?
A:Rental bike’s insurance included into the basic rental fee contents are as below.
■Third party bodily injury/death per person:Unlimited
■Third party property damage per occurrence:Up to 10 million yen (deductible: 50,000 yen)
■Third party bodily injury/death per person:Up to 5 million yen per person. Limited to disability or death. Motorcycles of 50cc and below excluded.
■Regarding Collision Damage Waiver
Collision Damage Waiver is a measure, already included in your rental fee, to let you ride with no worries that will cover you in case of accident or crash of the vehicle. Fee and deductible differs from class to class as below.

CLASS Day 1 Day 2/ and then daily Deductible / Occurrence*
P-1・P-2 1,500 800 10,000
P-3 2,500 1,300 55,000
P-4 3,500 1,800 50,000
P-5 3,500 1,800 100,000
P-6・P-7・P-8 3,800 2,000 100,000

In case of damage to the motorcycle, the renter pays up to this amount. The excess cost is covered by the CDW (without CDW renter must pay full cost of the damage reparation). CDW is compulsory for non-residents in Japan.
■Regarding the Deductible
The deductible is the maximum amount of repairs to be paid by the customer in case of accident.
For example, in the case of the P-4 class, if the repair cost is 10,000 yen and since this amount is less than the deductible amount, the customer’s charge will be the 10,000 yen of the total repair cost.
In case the repair cost will exceed 200,000 yen, customer’s charge will pay the maximum amount of 50,000 yen while the other 150,000 yen will be covered by vehicle’s compensation.
*If the repair price cannot be calculated immediately, we will charge you up to the deductible amount as a deposit, and we will then refund you the amount exceeding the actual repair price.
■Theft insurance:50% of the current motorcycle’s market value set by our company on the vehicle. However, theft compensation do not apply in the following cases.

  • In case you forget to lock the handle
  • In case you forget vehicle’s keys

*Customer is charged for any other damage included in theft damage exceeding theft compensation explained above. Therefore be extremely careful when leaving your rental motorcycle on the road.
■Non-Operation Charge:
In the unlikely event of an accident, we will request compensation if the rented vehicle cannot be rented again for repair. This Non Operation Charge will be billed separately even if you have subscribed to the “Collision Damage Waiver”.
Also, riding with mirrors, blinkers, headlights or other security components in a damaged, broken or missing state is not only legally punishable, but also extremely dangerous.
In the event of such an accident, make sure to call a wrecker. Even in case of a return by forcibly driving in above conditions, you may be charged a 50,000 yen Non Operation Charge based on the damage standard.
If you can bring the motorcycle to the shop by yourself : 20,000 yen.
If you cannot bring the motorcycle by yourself: 50,000 yen+ tow truck charges
