Important Policies To Know For Your Ride

HandleBar Detroit ride is all about creating a unique way to explore downtown Detroit. Believe it or not, pedaling around town on your own mobile pedal pub brings with it a few rules of the road. Please see below for some important rules and policies we have.

HandleBar Cancellation Policy

Every rider can move their tour date or cancel their tour up to 7days in advance. Moving your tour date is completely free and can be done by emailing us at gm@handlebardetroit.com. However, canceling your tour will result in a $50 fee for credit card and software booking fee.

Sorry! There are no refunds or rain checks for tours cancelled less than 7 days out!

HandleBar Tour Payment Options

All HandleBar tours must be paid with a credit card online. That means full payment must be made with a credit card when you book.

Credit card options include: Mastercard, Visa, Discover and American Express.

HandleBar Damage & Late Fee

The HandleBar reserves the right to charge your credit card follow the tour, if necessary. Since The HandleBar is powered by its passengers, they control the speed at which the tour progresses. For scheduling purposes, however, it is necessary that the tour end on time. There will be no Damage/Late Deposit charged if the HandleBar returns to the starting point on time and undamaged.

We reserve the right to charge the card on file for cost of damages or being late ($200 for up to 30 minutes late). Don’t worry too much about this- we’ve never had to charge anyone!
