RIDE WITH LOCALS SOUTH AFRICA
BOOKING TERMS

Before making a reservation at Ride With Locals we encourage you to read these Terms and Conditions carefully, as they constitute a contract agreement made between Ride With Locals and you from the time of booking.

 

By submitting a booking, you confirm to us that you comply with these arrangements.

Payment
Booking and securing your spot with a 20% deposit can be made on the website through the secure WeTravel system we have partnered with.

 

The full amount must be paid no later than 30 days before the trip unless other payment options are agreed upon prior.

If you book less than 30 days before the trip, the full amount must be paid within 3 days from receiving the confirmation.

Cancellation of a Trip

We kindly ask that any cancellations be communicated as soon as possible once an issue arises. We understand that unforeseen circumstances such as global events, personal emergencies, or injuries can occur, and wherever possible, we will always aim to reschedule your trip to a later date rather than cancel it entirely.

Cancellations made more than 60 days prior to the trip departure date will be eligible for a full refund.

In the unlikely event that Ride With Locals cancels a trip, participants will receive a full refund of all payments made. We will provide a minimum of 30 days’ notice should this occur.

Please note that Ride With Locals cannot be held responsible for any additional costs incurred, including but not limited to flights or other travel arrangements.

Passport

All participants are required to hold a valid passport with a minimum of six months’ validity from the date of travel.

It is the responsibility of each participant to ensure they have the correct travel documentation in place, including any visa requirements applicable to their country of origin.

Driver’s license
All participating riders must have a valid driver’s license for a heavy motorcycle.

Liability

Participants are responsible for any personal injury or property damage resulting from their own intentional misconduct or negligence. By booking with Ride With Locals, participants agree to indemnify and hold Ride With Locals harmless against any third-party claims arising in connection with such injury or damage.

For the purposes of this clause, negligence or misconduct includes, but is not limited to, damage resulting from driving errors, insufficient driving ability, or unsafe and disorderly riding behaviour. Examples include performing stunts (such as riding on one wheel), aggressive starts, or failing to maintain safe distances between vehicles.

CDW (Crash Damage Waiver) Motorcycle Insurance​

Minor cosmetic damage, such as scratches resulting from the motorcycle being dropped or tipping over, will not be charged to the participant. However, in the event of more significant damage requiring repair, the participant will be liable for the full cost of repairs up to the applicable damage excess.

Participants have the option to purchase additional motorcycle insurance for €200. This coverage reduces liability and covers most damages that may occur during the trip, with the exception of damage resulting from reckless or highly dangerous riding behaviour.

Motorcycle Insurance

The standard insurance included in your booking provides basic third-party liability cover. This includes damage to other vehicles in the event of a collision, for the rider and any third parties involved in an accident.

Participants who choose not to purchase CDW insurance accept full responsibility for any damage to the motorcycle.

Please note that no insurance cover applies in cases of willful damage or reckless riding behaviour. We recommend purchasing CDW Motorcycle Insurance for complete peace of mind and cover.

Medical & Travel insurance

Participants are required to have medical health and accident insurance that also covers transportation back to the home country. Insurance documents must be presented before the tour starts.

In the event of cancellation cover, we recommend that all our customers check what their home insurance covers. Some insurances have a cancellation cover that covers the entire amount or part of it.

Itinerary & Changes

Ride With Locals reserves the right to amend any information published in brochures or on the website prior to the conclusion of a booking agreement. While every effort is made to follow the planned itinerary, changes may occur due to safety considerations, weather conditions, operational requirements, or other unforeseen circumstances.

 

Ride With Locals therefore reserves the right to modify routes, schedules, and trip details at any time.

Participants are responsible for verifying their flight details and ensuring all travel arrangements, including seat reservations, are confirmed in advance. Ride With Locals cannot be held liable for missed flights resulting from itinerary changes, delays, or airline schedule adjustments.

Content Usage

By participating, riders grant Ride With Locals the right to capture and use any photos or videos from the trip for marketing and promotional purposes, for website and social media purposes.

Rider Requirements

Participants must possess intermediate off-road riding skills and be experienced in handling the type of motorcycle specified for the tour; enduro or adventure bike.
