INSURANCE POLICIES AND SURCHARGES
The scooter rental/tour price includes third-party liability and third-party property damage insurance, as Greek law requires. However, you are not covered for any damage you may cause to the scooter.
The Insurance covers your Vehicle’s Civil Liability towards third parties up to the limits below per claim:
-
€ 1.300.000 per accident or incident for loss or damage to property.
-
€ 1.300.000 per victim for physical injury.
-
€ 6.000 damage to your scooter caused by an uninsured at-fault driver.
If there is an accident involving another vehicle and it is unclear who is at fault if the other party claims it was the scooter driver who is at fault and refuses to sign the "accident-friendly declaration document", and if the police report from the initial investigation does not determine whose fault is, the renter of the scooter will be held responsible for repair costs of the rented vehicle. However, if the court finds that the renter-driver was not at fault, the amount paid for repairs (of the rented scooter) to Corfu Vespa will be refunded to the renter.
Additional Insurance, “Corfu Vespa Tours Care”, is available to limit the amount paid in case of crash or theft. This extra Insurance is in the driver’s name and is invalid if the driver doesn’t have prior experience riding a scooter/ motorbike or letting unauthorized persons drive. The extra Insurance does not cover the accessories.
“Corfu Vespa Tours Care”

- or whose driving license had been confiscated by the correspondent authorities

The Insurance shall not apply to damage caused to the insured vehicle by the willful conduct of the Lessee.
The Insurance does not cover exemplary or punitive damages, fines, or penalties claimed, ordered or awarded against you or any claim for, or related to, death or personal injury.
All our scooters- motorbikes are equipped with an immobilizer.

The client will be charged the vehicle’s market value if the Lessee does not possess the scooter key.

5 steps for checking your scooter
As soon as you've given your rental- vehicle, use your phone or camera to film or photograph every part of the scooter. This is a quick and easy way to document the original condition of the bike.
If the rental company questions whether you scratched the paint or broke any pieces, photos are an excellent way to show any pre-existing damage.
Body: Is the scooter frame or body in good shape? Note any scratches or damages with a photo before leaving the rental shop.
Tires: Are they properly inflated?
Brakes: Do the brakes work? Test them before leaving. If the brakes touch the handles without being squeezed, ask for a different scooter.
Ignition: Is the ignition damaged? Does the scooter turn on?
Lights: Test the turn indicators, high beams, and gauges.
