Your booking is a request that must be confirmed by Western Carolina Slingshot Rentals. It is not a guarantee of availability until it has been confirmed by us.

Generally a reservation is per day. Alternatives might be availalbe so please contact us about your specific situation.

Some dates may require multi-day reservations. Those may not be detailed on the calendar in the booking system, but I will notify you prior to confirmation if your request cannot be accommodated or has different requirements.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions before, during or after your trip as we’re here to help!

Our Slingshot is for safe, enjoyable adventures around western North Carolina and surrounding areas. Do NOT drive recklessly, race, speed, or drive this unit on a track or offroad

Performance monitor is in place to track abuse. We will check tire tread before/after to determine excessive wear. Feel free and give it some juice here and there, but please, do not burn out or race!

Please, help us keep this unit ready for everyone to enjoy.

There is to be no smoking, tobacco, or alcohol in this ride (Cigarettes, Cigars, Weed, Vaping, E-Cigs, etc.) An additional $150 cleaning fee will be assessed if this rule is violated.

Eye Protection – Driver and passenger must wear eye protection (sunglasses or other goggles are fine). No eye protection is provided.

Helmets – It is best/safest for driver and rider to wear a DOT approved helmet. Some people may tell you it’s not necessary. Ultimately, it depends on where you are and how law enforcement interprets the current law. We recommend always wearing a helmet in the slingshot. Some helmets are available to rent but you may want to provide your own for a perfect fit or style.

Fuel – please return the Slingshot with a full tank of premium fuel. There are gas stations within about 5 miles of the pickup/drop-off point in either direction. If you choose not to refuel before returning the slingshot, a $50 refueling fee will be charged.

This Slingshot is a road vehicle and should not be taking off road. Traction control should be left activated. Try to avoid gravel roads and driveways whenever possible. If you do have to travel on gravel or dirt or loose material, please be careful and drive slowly to avoid flinging rocks.

Mechanical failure is any possibility with vehicle caused by normal usage, it does not include flat tires, broken levers caused by tip over, or any issue caused by the renters operation or due to possession of vehicle which may result in an additional fee. In the event of unprovoked mechanical error, and at the sole discretion of the owner, arrangements will be worked out on a case by case basis.

You are completely responsible for any accident, incident, damage, ticket, citation and excessive wear.

I may choose to cancel the trip at any time, for any reason.

Do I have to wear a helmet? – It is recommended that driver and rider wear a helmet and eye protection at all times.  Always follow state helmet laws. Helmet laws differ by state and depending on where you ride, some law enforcement may interpret helmet and autocycle laws differently.
