Purpose
This Vehicle Standards Document sets out the minimum standards that every vehicle listed on the MotoMoto App platform must meet at all times.
MotoMoto App is an unregistered trading name of PALMBAY SOFTWARE LTD, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 16380280, with its registered office at 20 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU, England.
Compliance with this Document is a contractual obligation under the Host Service Agreement. Failure to meet these standards may result in listing suspension, removal, account restriction, payout hold where permitted, recovery of losses, or account termination.
These standards exist to:
(a) protect customer safety;
(b) help PALMBAY SOFTWARE LTD fulfil its obligations as the provider and seller of the rental service;
(c) maintain consistent quality across the Platform;
(d) support evidence-based handover, return, dispute, and damage processes; and
(e) reduce operational, safety, legal, and fraud risk.
1. Launch scope
1.1. At launch, the Platform may support only scooters and motorcycles in selected locations.
1.2. Cars and other vehicle categories may be added later. Standards for future categories apply only when those categories are made available on the Platform.
1.3. Cars or other vehicle categories must not be activated on the Platform until the Company has published or applied vehicle standards appropriate for that category and the Host has accepted any additional requirements.
1.4. Additional requirements may apply by vehicle type, location, local law, risk profile, or listing configuration.
2. Vehicle eligibility — baseline
To be eligible for listing, a vehicle must meet all requirements in this Section 2 and any additional requirements shown during Host onboarding or listing review.
2.1 Ownership and authority
The vehicle must be:
(a) legally owned by the Host; or
(b) listed under documented written authority from the registered owner allowing the vehicle to be made available for rental through the Platform.
The vehicle must not be stolen, impounded, subject to a court order restricting its use, or subject to any undisclosed finance agreement, lien, encumbrance, lease restriction, or other restriction that prohibits or materially restricts rental or commercial use.
2.2 Age and condition
2.2.1. At launch, scooters and motorcycles should normally be no more than 7 years from year of manufacture unless the Company approves otherwise after review.
2.2.2. Odometer readings must be accurate and must reflect actual use. Odometer tampering, misrepresentation, or unexplained inconsistency is grounds for immediate suspension or termination.
2.2.3. The vehicle must have no structural damage, frame damage, steering defect, braking defect, unresolved safety recall, or other condition affecting safety or roadworthiness.
2.3 Registration and inspection
The Host must maintain all vehicle registration, inspection, roadworthiness, and operating documents required by local law. For Indonesia, this may include STNK, KIR where required, and any other document required for lawful operation or rental activity.
Documents must remain valid throughout each listing period and each confirmed rental. If a required document expires, is cancelled, becomes invalid, or is insufficient for lawful operation or rental activity, the Host must immediately pause the listing and notify the Company.
The Company may suspend or remove a listing where documentation is missing, expired, inconsistent, unverifiable, or insufficient.
2.4 Insurance and local compliance
2.4.1. Hosts must maintain any motor vehicle insurance, third-party liability insurance, registration, inspection, permit, licence, or other compliance required by local law for the vehicle and for the Host's rental activity.
2.4.2. Where rental-specific, commercial, or peer-to-peer insurance is available or required by law, Hosts must maintain it and provide evidence to the Company on request.
2.4.3. The Company's review of insurance documents does not guarantee that any insurance policy will respond to a claim. The Host remains responsible for ensuring that the vehicle and the Host's activity are legally and appropriately insured.
2.4.4. The Company does not offer a Company Rental Coverage Programme at launch.
2.5 Permits, licences, and tax registrations
The Host must hold all permits, licences, local registrations, and tax registrations required for the Host's activity. Indonesian Hosts must provide NPWP or other tax information where required during onboarding or payout setup.
