Answer
Rental vehicles provide freedom but add legal and insurance risk. Photograph the vehicle, understand the deposit and never leave a passport as security when a safer alternative is available. Common problems include unclear fares, changed destinations, unofficial agents, card conversion, invented damage and deposits without receipts. Confirm the total price and service in writing, photograph rentals and use official channels for complaints or tourist assistance. Road-safety note: A rental shop handing over a motorcycle does not prove you are legally licensed or insured. Use the correct motorcycle entitlement and international permit where required, wear a proper helmet and verify policy exclusions.
