- •Never operate under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- •Stay within the approved operating area — leaving it may void insurance.
- •Complete the host's pre-ride safety briefing before the first ride.
- •Report any damage immediately — waiting can void the damage-deposit refund.

Category FAQ
Is fuel included?
Depends on the host. Most listings require the Renter to return the vehicle full or pay a refuel fee.
Do I need my own insurance?
The listing states whether insurance is included. If not, personal recreational-vehicle insurance is strongly recommended.
Can I ride off the host's property?
Only within the approved operating area listed on the property. Leaving it can void insurance.
