Limerick Bike Hire

minors take responsibility for the minor’s bicycle.
• A valid form of I.D. (Passport/Driving license) is required by the individual hiring the
bike(s).
• The customer must return the bicycle to the agreed drop off point, within the agreed time
frame, unless otherwise agreed prior to taking the bicycle. Provisions can be made, at the
discretion of the business, for late drop off/next day drop off.
• The customer must inform the business at the soonest available opportunity of any accident,
mechanical problem, theft, or any other problem concerning the bicycle. In any event the
bicycle shall remain the responsibility of the customer.
• The business at all times retains ownership of the bicycle.
• The customer may not sub-hire or freely lend the bicycle to any other third party.
• Customers must at all times follow the rules of the road and all road traffic regulations.
• They must not use the bicycle on any ground surface that a reasonable person would have a
reasonable suspicion that it may cause damage to the bicycle.
• Under no circumstances may the bicycle be brought onto any beach, if the business believes
it has been, the customer may be liable to a fine.
• The customer should not use the bicycle in any way which would be detrimental to the
customer themselves or any third party.
• Any goods carried by the customer, either on the bicycles or on themselves is at the risk of
the customer themselves.
• Any injury caused to the customer due to an accident or their mishandling of the bicycle is at
the risk of the customer. Any damage caused to the clothing or accessories of the customer
whilst on the bicycle is also at the risk of the customer.
• In the event of a bicycle not being returned/an explanation given, after 24 hours, the matter
will be treated as a stolen bicycle, and details will be passed onto the Gardai.
• A bicycle reported stolen by the customer will remain fully responsible for that bicycle until a
report is produced from the Gardai stating that the bicycle has been reported stolen. The
customer must take all precautions to ensure the bicycle is not stolen, e.g. locking the bicycle.
• Due to the fact the customer is liable for the bicycle, the customer is expected to carry out a
basic check on the bicycle before taking it. check brakes, handlebars, gears, tyres, frame
etc
• You are not insured by the business to use the bicycle, and do so entirely at your own risk. We strongly recommend you take out your own personal liability insurance policy.
• In the event of a breach of any of the above terms, or any disputes that arise, the matter will
be brought before the courts of Ireland, including in the event of summary judgements, the
introduction of third parties or numerous defendants.
• The size guide for bicycles is a guide only, and we do not accept responsibility for a wrongly
chosen bicycle size. However, if the customer does book the incorrect bike size we will do our
very best to rectify the problem and supply the customer with the correctly sized bicycle. In
the event that a child needs an adult sized bike, but has only booked a child sized bike online,
they may pay the difference between the two prices.
• We will offer a full refund in the event of a national weather warning, or with 48 hours notice
prior to beginning of the rental period. Rescheduling can be made up to 24 hours before the
beginning of the rental period.
