By using our website, mobile services, or booking our vacation gear delivery, you agree to the following terms. We’ve written them in a straightforward way so you can feel confident and informed when renting from us.
By checking the box “I agree to Kanoa’s Terms and Conditions” during booking or completing your reservation, you acknowledge that this action constitutes your electronic signature and your full agreement to be bound by all Terms and Conditions listed below. This consent confirms that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms, including all policies related to rental eligibility, moped requirements, cancellation, liability, and payment authorization.
Kanoa is a vacation gear rental service operating in Hawaiʻi. All bookings must be placed through our official platform. You must be at least 18 years old to rent with us, and you’ll need a valid credit or debit card to complete your booking. We rely on the accuracy of the information you provide, including your contact details and delivery address, so please double-check everything before confirming your order.
Once your rental is confirmed, we’ll deliver your selected gear to your location and return to pick it up at the time you’ve scheduled. For same-day bookings, please note that your selected delivery time must be at least 30 minutes from the time of booking. We cannot guarantee immediate availability for last-minute requests.
We expect our gear to be used safely, legally, and as intended. You agree not to misuse, modify, or damage any rented item. If an item is lost or returned in poor condition, we may charge a fee to repair or replace it. You authorize Kanoa to charge the payment method used at booking for any costs associated with loss, damage, or non-return of rented equipment. For moped rentals, additional terms apply. Please see the section below titled “Moped Rentals, Identification Form & Liability Waiver.”
Moped rentals are governed by the Moped Rental Agreement & Liability Waiver, which will be emailed to you after your booking is confirmed. You must complete and submit this form before delivery or pickup. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of your booking without refund.
The signed Moped Rental Agreement & Liability Waiver will govern your rental and, in the event of any conflict, the terms of that Agreement shall prevail over these Terms and Conditions.
Identification Requirements
Use Restrictions
Safety and Protective Gear
Operating a moped carries inherent risk. You agree to operate safely and comply with all Hawaiʻi traffic laws. Kanoa Rentals LLC strongly recommends wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) including helmets, safety glasses, and gloves.
By proceeding with the rental, you acknowledge these risks and agree that failure to use proper PPE is at your own risk. Kanoa Rentals LLC shall not be liable for any injury, loss, or damage resulting from failure to wear PPE.
Indemnification and Liability
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Kanoa Rentals LLC, its members, managers, employees, and affiliates from any and all claims, damages, or costs (including attorney’s fees) arising from or related to your possession or operation of the moped.
You waive all claims against Kanoa Rentals LLC for personal injury, property damage, or consequential losses incurred during your rental period.
Liability for Damage, Loss, and Insurance Option
Fuel Policy
Condition & Return Policy
Unauthorized Riders
Only the renter listed on the agreement may operate the moped. Allowing another person to operate the vehicle voids any coverage and results in full responsibility for all damages or loss.
Automatic Charges
You authorize Kanoa Rentals LLC to charge the payment method used at booking for any damages, losses, theft, late-return fees, cleaning fees, or other costs incurred. You will be notified via text message and/or email before any such charge is processed.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
Assumption of Risk and Liability
By renting from Kanoa, you acknowledge that the use of rental gear, including but not limited to mopeds, beach gear, and related equipment, carries inherent risks. You agree to assume full responsibility for your use of the equipment and any associated risks.
Kanoa is not liable for injury, loss, or damage to persons or property arising from the use or misuse of our equipment. You further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Kanoa, its owners, employees, and affiliates from any claims or damages resulting from your use of rented items.
While we always aim to provide reliable service, Kanoa is not responsible for any damages, delays, or losses resulting from the use of our platform or equipment. We may update these Terms from time to time, and your continued use of our services means you agree to those changes.
These Terms and the Moped Rental Agreement & Liability Waiver are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaiʻi. Any disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of Honolulu County, Hawaiʻi.
