I rented a bike in Mexico and the deposit was $1000 US. Similarly, they will take from the deductible every new abrasion after the tour. I noticed near the end of the tour the ride was getting very aggressive, especially on loose gravel mountain roads and in the core urban centers where riding between truck mirrors is the norm. I think the owner was pissed off because he had to return the entire deposit to me. His tour master said I kept up to the leader. Meanwhile, other tour riders were being assessed for scraped engine guards, broken passenger pegs, scraped mirrors, scraped cowlings, and broken signal lights. I didn't stick around. Damage costs negotiating games had begun and some of the bikes were BMWs.
