Please keep in mind:
Scoots are open air vehicles so it will feel cooler than driving in a car, unless we are talking about a convertible, and in that case it will feel exactly the same. Please dress accordingly. Most people find dressing in layers is a good idea.
Policies:
Smoking Policy:

There is no smoking at all during Sunnyday Scoot activities. Much of the land we visit is in forest fire risk zones.

Animal Policy:

Due to the nature of our activities, no service animals or pets of any kind are permitted. For the safety of the animals as well as the other drivers on the road, there will be no exceptions made for any reason.

Waiver Policy:

Before starting your adventure, you will be required to sign a waiver in order to participate. Minors must have a legal parent/guardian present who can sign the waiver for them.

Weather Policy:

We are in LA, so it’s almost always a sunny day at Sunnyday Scoot!! On the rare occasion that it is expected to rain, we may have to cancel. If this is the case, we will call, email, or text you at least one hour prior to your start time. That is why it is very important for your contact information to be accurate and up-to-date. If we cancel due to weather, we will try our best to reschedule with you. When rescheduling is not possible, you have the option of a gift card or a full refund.

Cancellation Policy:

We understand that life happens and sometimes you might need to cancel your tour after you have scheduled it. If you need to cancel, we offer a full refund if you notify us at least 7 days prior to your tour date. Please call us directly at 818-687-2668 or email us at [email protected] to reschedule or cancel.

We reserve the right to refuse service, and if such occurs, no refund will be given. Some examples of why we might have to refuse service would be showing up under the influence of drugs or alcohol, neither participant having a valid drivers license, or driving unsafe or irresponsibly.
