Transfers can only be made if you cancel your booking at least one day before the date of the hire.

All bikes returned with punctures will incur a repair and replacement charge. Please cycle sensibly with respect for others and the environment, and always follow the Highway Code (rules 187-211). Anyone cycling in a discourteous or unsafe manner whilst in possession of Moors & Coast Equipment will have the equipment repossessed with no refund of hire charges. All equipment must be available for collection at the correct time as indicated on the booking form. We reserve the right to charge an additional day’s hire fee for late returns for each cycle.
