Q: What's the
difference between a Scootcar and a scooter?
A: Our namesake, the Scootcar, is a three-wheeled scooter
that has an
addition two wheels in the rear that act as stabilizers.
Our scooters
are two-wheeled motorbikes - like mopeds or Vespas.
Q: Are the Scootcars street-legal?
A: The Scootcars are registered as 3 wheel motorcycles and must
be driven on
the street only, following all rules of the road just like
you do when
in your own vehicle. Off-roading or driving on sidewalks
and bike trials is
prohibited, and really dumb.
Q: How old do I need to be to
rent a scooter or Scootcar from you?
A: If you are 16 years-old with a driver's permit, you may
drive a
Scootcar with a parent or guardian if they ride with you
in the
vehicle and if they have ID. To drive a scooter, you must
be 18
years-old with the proper license.
Q: Where can I drive the scooter or Scootcar?
A: You may go anywhere in San Francisco that you'd like.
You must
remain on the road; off-roading and or driving on sidewalks
and freeways or bridges is
prohibited. The scooters and Scootcars may not leave the
city of San
Francisco. We offer you a route map that has suggested one
and
two-hour tours. Click here for more
details on the routes.
Q: What do I need to rent a Scootcar from you?
A: You'll need a driver's license and a major credit card
(Visa,
Master Card, American Express, JCB, Carte Blanche, Diners Club,or Discover), which we use
for a $200
deposit per vehicle. Once you return with our vehicle, the
deposit is
returned immediately.
Q: What do I need to rent a scooter from you?
A: To rent a scooter from us, you will need a valid driver's
license.
If you are from the state of California, you are required
to have a
motorcycle license or permit (M1 class). If you are from another state
or
country, the only other requirement is that you are able to ride
a motorbike
very well before taking to the streets of San Francisco.
If you're
not 100% comfortable on a motorbike, San Francisco is not
the place to practice.
Q: What are your rental rates?
A: Currently, our rates for Scootcars are $49 for the 1st
hour, $40 the second, and $30 each hour following, the full-day rate is $179.
Q: What's included in the rental price?
A: The rental fee includes gas, mileage, your helmet, route
map and tax.
Q: How about insurance? Does the rental price include insurance?
A: No. For those guests of Scootcar Rentals that are 25
years of age
or older, we do offer additional limited damage insurance for the
vehicle
only. It's $9 extra and comes with a $500.00 deductible for scooters;
$1000.00 for Scootcars.
