Do I really need to inspect a rental scooter before riding?

Yes. Even if the rental provider has already checked the scooter, doing your own inspection takes less than ten minutes and protects you from being held responsible for pre-existing damage.

What should I do if I find damage on the scooter before I ride?

Point it out to the rental staff immediately, take photos, and ask for the damage to be noted in writing before signing any agreement.

Is it safe to ride a scooter in Siquijor as a beginner?

What happens if the scooter breaks down during my rental?
