Motorcycle Rental Damage Claim

Motorcycle rental shops in Puerto Princesa charge tourists for pre-existing damage upon return of the bike, particularly scratches and dents that were present before the rental began. Rental contracts are sometimes written in a way that puts all repair costs on the renter regardless of when the damage occurred. Some shops deliberately choose models with hidden existing damage to maximize end-of-rental revenue.
