Pickup/Booking on arrival of boat
How do I reserve my bike immediately upon arrival of the boat?
When you go to the ‘reserve’ heading, you can choose ‘Veerdam’. Here you can book bicycles immediately upon arrival of the boat.
Is location Veerdam open with every departure?
Location Veerdam is open around every regular boat time with the exception of the first and last boat time. In the summer months we are also standard present at the last arrival/departure. We are not present for the first arrival/departure of 6:30 am from Lauwersoog / 7:30 am from Schiermonnikoog. (Our location in the Village at Paaslandweg 1 is open every day from 8:00)
Cancel / Modify
Can I cancel my reservation?
A reservation can be cancelled until 16:00 the day before the start of the reservation with the right to a refund minus €2.50 administration fee. If a reservation is not cancelled on time, this does not entitle you to a refund. However, the reservation can be postponed to another date if availability permits.
If a reservation of several days is cancelled late (after 16:00 the day before the start of the reservation) we will calculate the first day, the remaining amount will then be credited.

Delivery
I would like to have my bike delivered, is this possible?
We can deliver bikes depending on your residence address. In order to keep the island as car-free as possible, we only deliver outside the village centre. With some exception for disabled items.

I can’t choose the desired rental date, how is this possible?
Reservations can be made with us up to 1 day in advance. In high season it is possible that we ‘stop’ the reservations, due to the crowds. That means that reservations can no longer be made, because our reservation spaces are already full.
Bicycle is in assortment but not when booking, what is going on?
Not all of our items are available for rent at all locations. Special items such as Fatbikes, electric cargo bikes, mobility scooters and other items for people with disabilities or disabilities can only be reserved in the village.
I have reserved but have not yet received a confirmation. How is this possible?
If you have not received a confirmation, it may be that the mail has ended up in the unwanted mail. If the confirmation email is also not in it, please contact us.
Pickup/Return
Can I also return my bike to another rental point?
The bikes must be returned to the location where you picked them up, in connection with any future reservations.
What time does the bike(s) need to be returned?
If the bikes have been rented at one of our locations in the village, they must be returned before 18:00. If you have rented the bikes from our Veerdam location, immediately upon arrival of the boat, they must be returned for the boat from 19:30.
Extending
I want to rent my bike longer. Is that possible?
Usually this is possible. Please visit one of our rental points for this, or for the last rental day. However, for some items this is not possible due to the next day reservations.
