You should also ensure that the staff is willing to answer any questions that you may have about renting a personal water craft and using it.

Look at the location of the Jet Ski rental business in relation to the water body where you intend to use the watercraft; you need to ask about the means of transportation that the business offers and what will be the charges. If you are at a popular vacation destination, it may be fairly easy to find on site jet ski rental companies but as a rule these will generally charge you more than the ‘in town’ businesses. Ask about any additional fees that you may be charged; for instance, some companies will expect you to pay for insuring the water craft for the duration of use. You need to remember that any delay in returning the water craft will cost you more than the agreed upon rent. Also, any damages that may be incurred including engine flooring will have to be paid for by the customer so unless you are adept at Jet Ski operations, it is recommended that you do not try some of the more complex maneuvers.

If you intend to rent a personal water craft for a single day; check for businesses that are located in the vicinity of your hotel or resort
