Ordinary motorized ~30 mph scooters that vacationers frequently rent in places like Key West rent for anywhere from $10 per hour to $20 per hour, or $50 to $100 for 24 hours, insurance included. Usually a damage deposit must be provided, e.g. on a credit card.

A typical rental fee for exotic equipment is in the 5% to 8% of retail price per day, four days rental equals a week. Meaning you might be very fairly charging $250 per day and $1000 per 7 day week for the machine. This is an industry standard for AV equipment, but I've seen it for other exotic digital electronics as well. Remember that the HT is digital transportation, in very rare supply and it is a vendor's market. Extremely expensive gear goes for lower percentages. Trucks, HDTV cameras, etc.

Of COURSE any damage, replacement parts, scratches, etc. would be additional, plus labor and shipping. I'm thinking kickstand ($77), drops that scuff the front rubber insert on the handlebar ($25), fender scratches, etc. Take pictures before the machine goes out for rental documenting its shape prior.

I would rent mine with a $5,000 deposit and a sworn statement saying that they will pay for any harm done or any damages.
