MacQueen's Bike Shop
Rental Terms & Conditions
Location: 430 Queen Street, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
1.0 Overview
These Rental Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern the rental of bicycles and related equipment from MacQueen's Bike Shop ("MacQueen's," "we," "us," or "our").
There are three distinct rental pathways under these Terms, and your rights and obligations depend on which one applies to you:
|
Pathway |
Who You Are |
Who Pays |
Who Signs the Waiver |
Who Bears Risk of Loss/Damage |
|
A. Direct Client |
You booked directly with MacQueen's |

B. Tour Operator Guest |

C. Third-Party Pickup |
Someone else is picking up equipment on your behalf |
You (prepaid) or your designated person (at pickup) |
Booking renter or third party accepting responsibility |
Party named as Rider on the waiver |
In all pathways, the individual Rider signs the liability waiver and assumes personal responsibility for loss, theft, or damage to equipment while it is in their care. The difference is in who pays for the rental, how payment is remitted, and how the security deposit is handled.
A liability waiver must be signed and a credit card token provided before equipment is released to any renter.

4.0 Rental Costs & Inclusions
4.1 Currency
All prices are in Canadian Dollars (CAD).
4.2 What's Included
Your bicycle rental cost covers the equipment as described and initial adjustments by our staff (outfitting) at our commercial premises.
MacQueen's bike rentals include:
*We reserve the right to provide one lock per two bikes and to limit emergency repair kit elements to one per party traveling together. Tubes, cartridges, or patches, if used, are payable by the customer. A typical emergency repair kit includes a pump, one tube or patch kit or cartridge, tire irons, and a multi-tool.
4.3 Emergency Road Repair Services
Emergency road repair services are prioritized for MacQueen's Island Tours’ in-house tour customers whose packages include in-house support services. Remote service calls are not included with independent rental packages and may not be available even on a paid basis.
4.4 E-Bike Specific Terms
E-bikes require a minimum operator age of 16 years in Prince Edward Island. Renters must follow all battery care and charging instructions provided at pickup. E-bikes must be returned with a minimum battery charge of 10%.
5.0 Third-Party Pickup & Payment
5.1 General Rule
MacQueen's requires that the person picking up rental equipment be present in the shop during outfitting. Equipment will not be released to a person who is not physically present, and a physical credit card and government-issued photo ID must be verified before equipment leaves our premises.
If the person picking up the equipment is not the same person who booked the reservation and left the credit card guarantee, the following rules apply.
5.2 Designated Person Requirements
A designated person picking up equipment on behalf of a renter must:
5.3 Payment Alternatives
If the person paying for the rental is not the same person who booked the service and left the credit card for the reservation guarantee, the renter has two alternatives:
Alternative 1: Prepay in Full Before Pickup
The renter may fully prepay the confirmed rental service by one of the following methods:
When prepayment is received in full, the designated person picking up the equipment is not required to pay for the rental at the shop.
Alternative 2: Designated Third Party Pays at Pickup
The designated third party may pay for the rental in person at the shop on pickup via a swiped transaction with a physical card.
5.4 Security Deposit & Responsibility for Equipment
Regardless of which payment alternative is used, a physical credit card and government ID must be verified locally before equipment is released for the security token.
There are two possible arrangements:
Arrangement A: Renter Retains Responsibility
If the booking renter (the person who left the reservation guarantee card) will remain the party responsible for the equipment, then:
Arrangement B: Third Party Accepts Full Responsibility
If a third party accepts full responsibility for the equipment while under their care, then:
If a pre-authorization is applied, it will be processed against the card designated in Arrangement A or B, as applicable.
5.5 Waiver Signature
The liability waiver must be signed by the person accepting responsibility for the equipment:
5.6 Tour Operator Guests
For Tour Operator Guests, the rental is prepaid by the Tour Operator, so Section 5.3 (Payment Alternatives) does not apply. However:
6.0 Payment, Deposits & Security
The payment and deposit process differs depending on whether you are a Direct Client, a Tour Operator Guest, or using a Third-Party Pickup arrangement. All pathways require a signed waiver and a credit card token before equipment is released.
6.1 Direct Clients
6.1.1 Booking & Payment
6.1.2 Security Deposit & Credit Card Token
6.2 Tour Operator Guests
6.2.1 Prepaid Rental
6.2.2 Security Deposit & Credit Card Token (Required)
6.2.3 No Rental Payment at Shop
Tour Operator Guests will not be asked to pay for the rental itself at the shop. All prepaid rental charges are settled between MacQueen's and the Tour Operator under the separate Tour Operator Addendum (Section 12). Any last-minute upgrades are payable directly by riders.
6.3 Third-Party Pickup
See Section 5.0 for full terms governing third-party pickup, payment alternatives, and security deposit arrangements.
For clarity:
6.4 Privacy & Data Retention
Personal and payment information is stored securely and retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in these Terms, or as required by law. Credit card data is tokenized and stored in a PCI-compliant vault. For questions about your data, contact info@macqueens.com.
7.0 Liability Waiver & Assumption of Risk
7.1 Waiver Requirement (All Renters)
A liability waiver must be signed by every Rider (or their guardian, in the case of minors) before equipment is released. This applies equally to Direct Clients, Tour Operator Guests, and Third-Party Pickup arrangements.
7.2 The Waiver is Between MacQueen's and the Rider
The waiver exists to create a direct legal relationship between the party taking on the risk (the Rider) and the party accepting it (MacQueen's).
7.3 Waiver Identification
The waiver is issued by MacQueen's Bike Shop and is binding between MacQueen's Bike Shop and the Rider. The waiver will at all times identify MacQueen's Bike Shop as the party accepting the risk and the Rider as the party assuming it. Any tour operator or third party who arranged or prepaid the rental is not a party to the waiver and is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to the equipment.
7.4 Advance Signature Requirement (Tour Operator Guests)
Tour Operators are required to distribute the online waiver link to their guests in advance of outfitting. The waiver link is:
https://us.bikerentalmanager.com/waivers/?shop=macqueensbikeshop&kiosk_name=website%20kiosk
This allows our team to focus on equipment fitting and guest service rather than administrative paperwork.
7.5 Assumption of Risk
By signing the waiver, the Rider acknowledges that bicycling involves inherent risks, including but not limited to:
The Rider voluntarily assumes all such risks.
8.0 Responsibility for Damage or Loss
8.1 All Renters
All renters agree to return the equipment in the same good condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
8.2 Direct Clients
The Direct Client is both the payer and the Rider. The credit card on file may be charged for loss or damage as described in Section 6.1.2.
8.3 Tour Operator Guests
The Tour Operator Guest is the Rider. Even though the rental was prepaid by the Tour Operator, the Rider's credit card token (Section 6.2.2) will be charged for loss, theft, or damage. The Tour Operator is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage under this Agreement.
8.4 Third-Party Pickup
If a third party accepts full responsibility for the equipment (Arrangement B, Section 5.4), that third party is named as the Rider and their credit card token will be charged for loss, theft, or damage. If the booking renter retains responsibility (Arrangement A, Section 5.4), the booking renter's card will be charged.
9.0 Cancellation Policy
Our summer season on Prince Edward Island is short, and cancellations affect our ability to serve other customers. To avoid penalties, we recommend confirming your travel plans before reserving equipment. If you are visiting PEI, consider purchasing cancellation insurance.

Refunds are not provided for weather-related cancellations or illness. We highly recommend contracting travel or cancellation insurance to protect your travel investment against unforeseen circumstances.
If severe weather prevents safe riding, rentals may be rescheduled at no additional cost, subject to availability.
10.0 Late Return Fee (All Renters)
If current availability permits, your ongoing rental can be extended in our system. Confirmed rental extensions are issued an email confirmation by rentals@macqueens.com, for your protection and ours.
11.0 Maintenance & Responsibility
Although all of our bikes are professionally serviced between rentals, bicycles may occasionally require tuning during a rental period.
If undertaking an unsupported bicycle trip, we strongly recommend that you have some basic bicycle maintenance knowledge.
12.0 Tour Operator Addendum
This section applies to Tour Operators and their Guests. In the event of a conflict between this Section 12 and the main Terms, this Section 12 prevails for Tour Operator bookings.

12.2 Timeline for Upgrades & Adjustments
12.3 Invoice Matching & Discrepancy Window
12.4 Waivers & Guest Responsibility
12.5 Guest Credit Card Token
12.6 Operator Responsibility
Tour Operators and third-party agents must make their clients fully aware of all MacQueen's rental Terms & Conditions when making a booking on their behalf.
12.7 Operator-Specific Terms
Any operator-specific terms (e.g., advance waiver link distribution requirements, in-store waiver supplements, upgrade supplements, or payment reference requirements) will be set out in a separate Operator Addendum signed by both parties and incorporated into these Terms by reference.
13.0 Travel Cancellation & Theft Insurance
MacQueen's does not sell travel cancellation or theft insurance. If interested in acquiring travel or other insurance coverage for rental equipment, we recommend:
14.0 Liability Waiver & Additional Terms
14.1 Waiver Requirement
A liability waiver must be signed and a credit card token provided before equipment is released to the renter.
14.2 Limitation of Liability
MacQueen's Bike Shop assumes no responsibility, however caused, for injury, loss, or damage to person or property in connection with any service resulting directly from the following:
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the rental agent is not responsible for accidents or injuries caused directly or indirectly in the use of the rented item. Nothing in this section limits liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct, or for any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
14.3 Rental Agreement
Our contract is for rental only and not for sale of equipment. The renter agrees that:
All charges are based on the time the item is in the renter's possession, whether in use or not.
14.4 Age Requirements
Renters must be at least 18 years of age. Minors may rent only with a parent or guardian's signature, and the parent or guardian must accept responsibility for the minor's use of the equipment. Provincial regulations in Prince Edward Island state that e-bikes may only be operated by individuals 16 years of age or older. A parent or guardian may rent an e-bike on behalf of a minor aged 16 or 17, but the parent or guardian remains responsible for the equipment and the minor's use of it.
14.5 Helmet Policy
Helmets are provided with all rentals. Helmets are mandatory in Prince Edward Island. Renters are responsible for ensuring proper fit.
14.6 Route Restrictions
Bicycles are not permitted on beaches or in salt water. Riders are responsible for any damage caused by salt water exposure.
14.7 Cleaning Fee
Bikes returned excessively dirty may be subject to a cleaning fee of $20.
14.8 No Subletting
Renters may not lend, sublet, or transfer rented equipment to any other person.
15.0 Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Prince Edward Island and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of Prince Edward Island.
16.0 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
17.0 Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the rental contract, the signed waiver, and any applicable Operator Addendum, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior negotiations, representations, or agreements, whether written or oral.
18.0 Amendment
MacQueen's reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time. The version in effect at the time of your rental shall apply.
