Rental Terms, Conditions & Indemnity
The hirer must be in possession of a valid motorcycle license, acceptable by South African authorities, for the duration of the rental period. Please carry your license at all times.
The hirer is covered by CTVR’s Public Indemnity Insurance for any harm you should cause, accrue, or be caused to a third party. The hirer is NOT covered by CTVR’s insurance for any personal injury, theft, or damage to our Vespas unless comprehensive insurance is taken. CTVR does not accept responsibility for any damages you may cause to yourself or other vehicles.
The rental of each scooter is subject to an R8000.00 deposit, either by credit card or cash, which is fully refundable on the return of the Vespa and helmet(s) in the same condition as received by the hirer. We will require a copy of a valid credit card in addition.
Loss or Damage
The hirer shall be responsible for any loss or damage incurred to the Vespa, whether by accident or theft. This assessed loss shall be offset by any deposit held by CTVR, under this agreement, and the balance shall be payable to the hirer on the return of the Vespa. Should the hirer select CTVR’s Fully Comprehensive Insurance (R75 p/day), he/she will only be responsible for R4500.00 as the first amount payable (excess) should any damage to the Vespa be incurred and R8000 as the first amount payable (excess) in the case of theft.
The Vespa must be parked off-street overnight for theft under CTVR’s Fully Comprehensive Insurance Coverage. Furthermore, a police case number is required should the hirer require CTVR to claim from insurance. The hirer will be liable for the complete loss should a police case number not be reported correctly, nor the case number supplied.
Daily rental charges and surcharges
All daily rental charges exclude petrol. Vespas are delivered full and the hirer shall return the Vespa full. If the Vespa is not filled on return, the hirer shall be charged R300.
Late Returns
The period of rental of this scooter shall be agreed upon on signature of this agreement and any late delivery will result in a charge of R150 per hour. There will be a lost key charge of R1200 and a lost helmet charge of R1000.
Traffic Fines
The hirer shall be held liable for all traffic fines that result from any transgression during the entire rental period mentioned and indemnify CTVR from any liability resulting therefrom. CTVR retains the right to debit the hirer’s credit card for any fines for traffic offenses received on behalf of the hirer.
Safety
Each rental comes with 1 free helmet and an additional helmet is R75 p/day. Both the hirer and passenger shall at all times wear a helmet, which must be clipped on and firmly attached.
The hirer agrees to not operate the Vespa under the influence of alcohol or any illegal or intoxicating substances of any nature and to not behave in any manner that would bring the name of CTVR into disrepute.
Indemnity
The hirer shall use the Vespa entirely at his/her own risk and agrees that CTVR, its employees, agents, or associates shall not be responsible, liable, or accountable and shall be rendered blameless for any loss, injury, or death sustained as a result of the rental and use of the Vespa during the rental period or any extension thereof.
Liability
CTVR shall not be responsible and shall be rendered blameless for any loss or damage to goods of any nature left or transported on the Vespa. The Vespa will not be used commercially or for financial gain and shall be used purely for personal transportation.

Break down cover is provided with all rentals. If broken down contact CTVR immediately and wait for collection/swop out of your Vespa. This can take up to 1.5 hours depending where in Cape Town you are. Please do not attempt to repair any issue no matter of your mechanical competency and make sure that you and your passenger are in a safe location with the Vespa locked and off street.
