Deposits, Payment, Reservations and Cancellation Policy
-
We accept all major credit cards as payment.
-
If you are running late for your reservation, call us and let us know. The rental time will start at the originally booked time. You may extend your time and pay for an extension if it does not interrupt another reservation.
-
You will receive a full refund if you cancel your reservation 24 hours or more before your pick-up time. All other cancellations will be charged a 2-hour rental fee per item.
-
YRyde Bykes does not give credits or refunds for early returns.
-
Late returns are subject to additional charges and late fees. If a bicycle is returned area more than 15 minutes after the scheduled time, the renter shall pay the rental fee for all items rented, rounded to the half-hour. For example, if one bike and a GoPro is scheduled to be back at 10:00 a.m. and the bicycle is returned at 10:20 a.m., then the late fee will be for a half-hour for both the bicycle and the GoPro.
-
In the event of rain, you may reschedule your reservation at no additional charge.
-
If for any reason you will not be able to return with your rented bicycle, call us to tell us where you have left the bike. Make sure that you secured the bike with the lock that you were given when you rented the bike. We will order you a ride and pick up the bicycle. The fee for this service is $75. You will need to return the keys, helmets and other extras to YRyde Bykes and settle your bill.

If we bring an action to enforce the terms and Conditions of the rental agreement or to recover any sums due to us, you agree to pay all of our legal fees, court costs, and other expenses for the same.
