This has caught me completely inexperienced. They're offering me €5,000 to rent it for 12 days, which seems pretty good, to be honest. Apparently, they don't intend to use it intensively; they won't be using it on a track or for enduro riding. They're very keen for it to appear in their film for some reason I don't know. It's also possible they're lying to me and will use it for other things.

The thing is, I'm obviously worried about it getting damaged. Does anyone have experience with how to arrange a rental agreement where everything is clearly stated in a contract? I'd like to include clauses stating that they are responsible for any damage and must pay for it. The bike can't be modified and must be returned in the same condition as when it was picked up, etc.

Do you think this is a good idea?

What things do you think I should keep in mind?

Thanks

Odd to rent a bike 12 days for half its price. It would cost them much less to buy a brand new one and sell it after a couple of weeks

If you want to go with it, they should provide solid proof of insurance with all included damage, theft, damage to others/liability and so on. It has to be valid for professional use.

Its a very good offer; they're in a hurry, that's why they're offering so much, and also there are only 4 Vargs in my island and one of the owners already said no wich is the one who have my bike at the shop for the repair on the "incompetent Stark dealer"! incredible! Remember that my bike is in this thread about my situation. ( Solved - HELP Power jerking after Drivetrain replacement (GEN2) )

Oh! And they're looking for two bikes! One for next week and the other for later, though I don't know exactly when.
The good thing is my friend could offer them his for next week, and I could lend them mine for next time, and we'd split the money. We're waiting to talk to the manager tomorrow to see what the conditions are and what they're going to use it for.

I'll have to study the whole insurance issue and the legal bureaucracy

This is surreal...
