What happens if I have an accident? Or damage the motorbike?

ZipBikes provides mandatory insurance for all our bikes. However, this coverage does not include coverage for damages to the bike or 3rd party property. The renter will be responsible for all damages incurred.

However, we do have an option for additional coverage option at 100 baht a day.

What are your opening hours?

Our opening ours are between 10 AM to 6 PM. We highly recommend booking bikes in advance to ensure availability and efficiency when renting.

How often are your bikes serviced?

Our bikes are serviced on a regular basis. We do a thorough check every time a bike is returned to ZipBikes Headquarters.

Do you have any special promotions?

Yes! We often have seasonal promotions and discounts. To check our current running promotions please click here.

Where can I use the motorbike?

We provide unlimited KMs within Bangkok City. We currently do not have touring bikes available. Should you like to take our bikes outside of Bangkok City please share your plans with us and we will check the possibility.

What about gasoline?

As a ZipBike renter we would expect our renters to return the bike with the same level of gasoline as when they received the bike.

When do I have to return the bike?

Our bookings run in batches of 24 hours, so if your pick up was booked for 9:30 AM, you would have to return the bike by 9:30 AM the next day. While we are lenient in terms of return timing (as we all know about the legendary Bangkok traffic jams) and more importantly, how much fun shopping in Bangkok is, we need time to ensure the cleaning of the bike and any required maintenance for the next ZipBiker.

What forms of payments are accepted?

Currently at ZipBikes we accept bank transfer and cash payments. For deposits we would prefer cash deposit.
