A good handover protects both sides because it replaces memory with shared evidence. The listing must show any optional cash deposit before the renter requests the motorcycle.
Plan the trip
Record identity, documents, odometer, fuel, accessories and every existing mark with time-stamped photos. Both parties should agree the return time, location, fuel rule and who may ride.
What matters on the road
Lopez Motos does not charge or hold the cash deposit. If the host collects one, issue a receipt, keep it separate from rental price and return it promptly unless a documented deduction is agreed through the stated process.
Practical checklist
- Deposit disclosed before request.
- Signed or acknowledged receipt.
- Photos of all sides and controls.
- Odometer, fuel and accessories recorded.
- Return inspection and deductions itemized.
Frequently asked questions
Can a host invent a deposit at pickup?
No. A required deposit should be stated in the listing before the reservation. The renter should not accept an undisclosed new charge.
Official and primary sources
