ThrottleX policies

Important information for renters and hosts

Review each section carefully before creating a listing, making a reservation, or operating a rental.

Review requirements before booking

Renters should review age limits, license requirements, safety equipment, experience requirements, pickup instructions, approved operating areas, weather conditions, and prohibited uses before booking.

Use proper safety equipment

Renters and passengers should use helmets, personal flotation devices, protective clothing, seat belts, eye protection, and other equipment required by the vehicle type, applicable law, operating location, or host instructions.

Inspect before operation

Before operating a rental, the renter should inspect the vehicle and included equipment, review operating instructions, photograph existing damage, and notify the host immediately if anything appears unsafe, damaged, missing, or inconsistent with the listing.

Know the controls

Operators should understand the vehicle’s controls, starting and stopping procedures, braking, steering, emergency shutoff systems, loading limits, fueling requirements, and other essential operating instructions before use.

Operate responsibly

Vehicles should be operated carefully, legally, and only in approved areas. Reckless use, impaired operation, unauthorized operators, overloading, racing, and use outside permitted locations are prohibited.

Monitor weather and conditions

Users should monitor weather, water, visibility, trail, fire, traffic, and environmental conditions. Operation should be postponed or stopped when conditions become unsafe.

Do not operate unsafe equipment

A renter should not operate a vehicle when its mechanical condition, available safety equipment, weather, terrain, visibility, operator condition, or passenger behavior creates an unreasonable safety risk.

Emergency preparation

Renters should know how to contact emergency services, identify their operating location, carry appropriate communication equipment, and follow all emergency instructions provided by the host or local authorities.
