CANCELLATION POLICY : If OVER 24 hours notice given prior to collection, you may change booking to any other day subject to availability or ask for a full refund. Any cancellation requested WITHIN 24 hours of collection will be subject to a 20% surcharge on top of the deposit.
DELIVERY AGREEMENT: We (the Hirer) will endevour to deliver within a 10 mile radius from GL54 3AP. We can deliver up to 6 units (bikes, tag-a-longs and trailers) per run. If you require our tandem or E-bikes, a maximum of 4 units can be delivered per run ( as they are slightly larger to transport).
Delivery MUST be organised more than 48 hours in advance of the hire. If you specify your delivery details when hiring the units online, we will add the delivery price to your order when we deliver the bikes.
Your deliver address MUST have a 'safe place' to drop the bikes off. This can anywhere the delivery driver can access away from public view AND with something to lock the units to. If our delivery driver cannot access a 'safe place', the bikes will be taken back to Far Peak where you may still collect them or ride them from here.
Your delivery fee and deposit are NON-REFUNDABLE within 48 hours of the hire period. The bikes will (most likely) be dropped and collected at a time convenient to our delivery driver. This MAY NOT be on the day of the hire start and finish, and could be up to 48 hours before and after your booking. Please do not use the units outside of your allotted hire period. You will be charged for your hire and delivery, before the bikes are delivered to the 'safe place'.
If you book a single days hire for delivery bike, an additional days hire will be charged to your account before delivery of the bikes, as a minimum hire period of 48hrs applies.
