A moped rental allows you to see the sights, access out-of-the-way places, and experience the local landscape. While driving one may be fun, remember that they’re sophisticated pieces of machinery and should be handled with care. Here are a few rental etiquette tips that will help you get the safest, most effective use out of your moped.

How to Take Care of a Moped Rental

1. Be Mindful of How You Use It

Be careful around buildings, other vehicles, and people, and never get close to anything that can cause injury to others or damage to the moped. Follow all recommended weight limits and don't exceed the load capacity stipulated by the provider—too much weight can compromise the wheels and suspension.

2. Fill It With Fuel

Before returning the rental, take the time to gas it up. Fill it to the same level it was at when you first got it. Also, ask the moped rental provider beforehand if there’s a particular type of gas they prefer you use.

3. Don’t Treat It Like a Rental

Handle the moped as if it’s your own bike—make sure it’s clean and damage-free and securely locked up when not in use. Don’t operate it recklessly or take unnecessary risks with it.

4. Return It on Time

Since your vehicle may be picked up by someone immediately after its return, bring it back as scheduled to avoid inconveniencing others. Additionally, a prompt return gives the provider time to check the vehicle and confirm that it’s safe for the next renter.
