‍

You are! For more information go to our dedicated page for more information: https://goodmotors.agency/assurance/

Once the rental payment has been made, as well as the deposit bank imprint made, we will send you all the necessary instructions to go to the car park where the motorcycle is located on D-Day. Next to your motorcycle will be a wardrobe containing equipment and helmets/gloves of various sizes. You will then only have to pick up the equipment in the locker that was assigned to you (the code will be provided to you) and retrieve all the rented equipment.

Our motorcycles are located in car parks located near train stations and airports, in more than 12 cities in France.

On D-Day you will receive all the information you need to get to where our motorbikes are parked. You can then identify yours using the license plate number.

In the explanatory email, you will also find the code for the key box. You will also find the lock key, as well as a badge to leave the car park (depending on the cities concerned). Be sure to keep the keys and the badge!

If you had chosen additional equipment, it will be in a locker next to the motorcycle. All you have to do is take stock of the situation, install and put on your equipment, switch on the ignition and off you go!

Of course! We offer a varied choice of equipment for rent, ranging from helmets and gloves, to side bags, to side bags with more capacity, to top cases, to side cases and top cases to be installed on the motorcycle, to carry all the equipment you need.

Straps to hang your travel bag and a phone holder are included in the cost of renting the motorcycle.

‍

No problem! We offer this possibility through our OneWay offer.

To do this, please let us know your wish to drop off the motorcycle elsewhere than at its place of origin, as soon as you first contact us. You must return it to one of our agencies in France.

We will then send you a quote adapted to your request.

30 minutes before the start of your rental, you will receive an email from us with a link. You will have to go to this link with your smartphone and follow the steps indicated on the page.

You will have to follow the instructions and take the photos one by one, which will be uploaded to our server by themselves.

You will finally have to click on “validate the inventory” so that all the information is automatically transferred to us. It's good for us!

‍

First of all keep your cool, and contact us as soon as possible, by phone or by email via vroom@goodmotors.agency. Sometimes minor issues can be resolved directly over the phone.

Good Motors Agency is responsible for maintaining the motorcycles made available. If a failure is proven during normal use of the motorcycle, it is therefore our responsibility, so you will not have to fix anything.

In the event that the failure is not related to abnormal use of the motorcycle, you can interrupt the rental contract and be reimbursed based on the unused rental time.

‍

In the event that you lose the keys, you must first contact us as soon as possible. We will proceed with the production of a new key, the cost of which will be invoiced to you when the motorcycle is returned. We will then look for a solution to bring you a spare machine, or a new set of keys, depending on your location.

if you have lost the parking badge, we will have to charge you a fee of 50€ for creating a new badge, so remember to store it in a secure place!

‍

At Good Motors Agency, your safety is our top priority. Although we do not like to think of this possibility, we must inform you about the practices and rules to follow if this happens to you, or to your fellow travelers.

In the event of an accident, first of all, try not to panic, then:

— Protect yourself and your environment

If you are clearly not injured and in no apparent pain, try moving the motorcycle to the side of the road away from the traffic lane. Only do it if you can and safely!

— Prevent or get notified immediately

In case of injury, alert the emergency services and dial the emergency number 112 from a mobile phone. Then follow the instructions. You can also call 15 for the SAMU or 17 for the police and the national gendarmerie.

Once you are safe and emergency services are on the way, contact us by phone via the emergency call button indicated in your customer area.

Try to let us know where this happened, the time, and any other information you think is useful. We will contact our Partner Assistance in order to send you a tow truck as soon as possible and put you in contact with it.

— Have the accident recorded

Ask potential witnesses to provide their testimonies. Note their identity or license plate if you can. Take photos of the scene of the accident, as well as the environment around you.

If possible, draw up a report. If you cannot do it we will take care of these steps later.

Then wait for our Partner Assistance to intervene and come and lift the vehicle if it is no longer in driving condition. You will be taken to the nearest garage, or the one we are used to working with.

Depending on the situation, we will assess the best solution for you. An on-call is in place on this subject so that you can contact us at any time.

‍

In case of a flat tire, please let us know as soon as possible, and do not try to continue driving the motorcycle! Call us or send us an email via contact@goodmotors.agency.

The cost of replacing a flat tire is borne by the tenant. In the event that both tires need to be changed, Good Motors Agency will cover half of the cost of repairing the second tire, with the first always remaining the responsibility of the tenant.

However, in the event that the puncture is due to an abnormal wear and tear of the tire, all costs will be borne by Good Motors Agency.

‍

The answer is yes! However, be sure to comply with the local regulations in force. Our motorcycles are insured to circulate throughout the European Economic Area, the principalities of Andorra and Monaco, Liechtenstein, the Vatican States and San Marino.

No, but we will then have to charge you an additional charge per kilometer traveled, depending on the model of the motorcycle. Remember to carefully adjust your mileage package. To leave with peace of mind, opt for our unlimited mileage package.

If you are planning a (very) long walk over several days, do not hesitate to let us know!

‍

If this ever happens to you, please contact us by email at contact@goodmotors.agency as soon as possible, giving us your name and surname, and the date on which you took the motorcycle.

In the event of loss of the equipment, helmet or glove for example, you will be charged the purchase price of the equipment in question. We will send you a link showing you the amount to be paid.

In the event that the equipment is damaged, an inventory will be made and we will get back to you on this subject on a case-by-case basis.

It is important to let us know as soon as you are aware of the loss or damage to your equipment. If we notice that an item is missing or damaged after the motorcycle has been returned, we reserve the right to charge a penalty of €90 (in addition to the price of the equipment in question).

‍

If this happens to you, we ask you to let us know when returning the bike. You will be responsible for the amount of the reduced ticket, but also for a service fee worth €30.

In fact, we ask you to return the vehicle in the same condition in which you found it, clean! We recommend that you keep all receipts as proof.

Before returning your motorcycle, you will receive an email giving you the addresses of gas stations with a kärscher in the area. The list is of course not exhaustive, and we recommend that you search on your smartphone for the most relevant place to wash the vehicle.

Our recommendation: if you wash your motorcycle in a car wash, we ask you to keep the nozzle about 1 meter from the motorcycle, as the pressure caused by the washing nozzles can sometimes cause a hose to come off, hindering the operation of the engine. You don't want to be stuck in a car wash just before returning the bike!

Good Motors Agency reserves the right to charge you €50 in the event that the motorcycle is abnormally dirty outside, for travel and cleaning expenses.

We pay particular attention to the cleanliness of our motorcycles. Thinking about making a motorcycle clean is a gesture for the next rider, and so on!

‍

Yes, we ask you in fact to return the motorcycle with a full tank of gas, as when you picked it up.

You will need to send us a photo of the gas station receipt with the amount and date shown, as well as the full fuel gauge.

If you have forgotten this step, we will be forced to charge you an amount of €50 for the intervention costs and the refueling to be carried out.

Important: our motorcycles all work with SP98, do not put diesel in the tank!

‍

You will receive an email from us a few hours before the end of your rental with a link. You will have to go to this link with your smartphone and follow the steps indicated on the page.

You will have to follow the instructions and take the photos one by one, as you did when you took the motorcycle.

You will finally have to enter the license plate number, then click on “validate the inventory” so that all the information is automatically transferred to us. It's over!

Make sure that all items are tidy, just as you found them when you got on your motorcycle. Penalties apply if the inventory is carried out incorrectly (you will find the amount of these penalties on our dedicated page)

If the network coverage does not allow you in some car parks to send us the photos, please take them natively on your smartphone and send them to us by email at contact@goodmotors.agency
