Q. A friend wants to drive the motor vehicle I rented from “2MJ” – is it okay for them to …“take it for a spin”…. and drive it too?
A. No. Absolutely not!!! Only you (the renter) are permitted to drive the motor vehicle. If you do not follow this guideline and something happens such as an accident, you are pulled-over by a traffic enforcement officer or police officer then you are the one fully responsible for your friend’s actions and any penalties that may follow.
Q. I read that the “off-road” or mud-bogging is fun in the Philippines. Can I use the “2MJ” rental to go off-road or mud-bogging?
A. No. You can only use the rented Motorcycle | Motorbike | Scooter for the purpose of tourism (exploring) on clearly defined “main” roads.
If the rented vehicle (Motorcycle | Motorbike | Scooter) gets covered with mud and or dirt debris then it is your responsibility (not ours) to have it cleaned – this is NOT an option but mandatory!
Q. If the rented vehicle breaks down or is damaged — can I do the repairs myself or take it to a shop of my choosing to have the work done?
A. No. “2MJ” is the only company certified to make the necessary repairs (do not attempt to repair it yourself or take it to any other shop – only bring it back to “2MJ”)
Q. If the rented vehicle breaks down outside the Angeles City region …. am I responsible for transporting the rented vehicle back to the “2MJ” store-front location (Stall No. 72 Fields Avenue Balibago, Angeles City Philippines 2009)?
A. Yes. The renter is responsible for transporting their rental back to our store front location (Stall No. 72 Fields Avenue Balibago, Angeles City Philippines 2009) – no exceptions!
Q. Do I need to get insurance before or at the time I am renting from “2MJ”?
A. Every vehicle is insured in accordance with (current) Philippines liability however additional Insurance coverage is the responsibility of the renter.
All our vehicles (car, van, scooter, motorcycle, motorbike) have the ₱50,000 of required insurance for 3rd party damage. However, this is a small amount of insurance and pays nothing for the damage to the rented car, motorcycle, scooter, motorbike or van which (you) the renter if fully liable for under the terms of the signed rental agreement.
