Renting a bike for a weekend ride

Struck
Yo folks, thinking about renting a bike for a weekend trip but never done it before. What should I be checking before I sign anything? Don't wanna get hit with hidden fees or end up with a clunker.

First thing you wanna check is the insurance coverage and what the deductible looks like, some places try to sneak in crazy numbers and you won't notice till something goes sideways. Also give the tires and chain a quick look before you roll out, snap a few pics of any existing scratches so they don't pin it on you later. Find motorcycle rental options without getting ripped off is pretty easy here https://getrentacar.com/en-US/motorcycle-rental . Compare a couple listings and you'll get a feel for what the going rate should be in the area.

Ask upfront if there's a mileage limit, some joints cap you at like a hundred miles a day and then charge per extra mile. Can mess up a long ride real quick if you're not paying attention.
