Booking a reservation
Motorcycle rentals are not considered booked until VMAR (Vektor Moto Adventure Rentals LLC) receives the full price (100%) deposit of the total price of the rental, your online reservation form and you receive an acceptance email from VMAR confirming the motorcycle rental. Note: a $1,500 damage deposit per motorcycle is required no later than the time of departure.
Cancellation Fee and Refunds
For a full refund a written notice of cancellation must be received no less than 60 days of the departure date. Written notices of cancellation received after 60 days but not less than 30 days of the departure date are not refundable; however, the amount is transferable and may be used toward any other VMAR rental (subject to availability) during the same rental year. Written notices of cancellation received less than 30 days from the departure date are nonrefundable.
Motorcycle Damage Deposit
A full refund is contingent upon receiving the motorcycle and other rental accessories in the same condition as received at checkout. In the event of damage, the damage deposit will first go towards damages and insurance deductibles with any remaining balance refunded upon final assessment of costs.
Motorcycle Rental
VMAR motorcycle rentals require acceptance and execution of the Rental Agreement Terms and Conditions – Arizona in the standard form by the motorcycle operator. In addition, MBA insurance is required for each day of rental for an amount of not less than $15.00 per rental day. MBA motorcycle rental insurance is to be obtained in advance of rental by going to MBAmotorcycle.com and entering the VMAR policy code (provided by VMAR) and procuring rental insurance for each day of the rental period. Proof of purchase is required at the time and place of rental so please bring a copy of the insurance with you.

Authorized drivers, 25 years of age minimum, are the only persons permitted to operate the motorcycle.
The motorcycle must be returned at the time and place identified on the rental agreement in the same condition as received with at least the same amount of fluid and fuel levels as when rented; otherwise, additional charges will apply.
