Top 5 best scooter rentals in Hyères

Hyères rewards anyone willing to cover ground, and a scooter is the easiest way to do it. One morning you can wander the cobbled lanes of the Vieille Ville de Hyères around Place Massillon, and by lunchtime be climbing the hill to Villa Noailles for its cubist lines and garden views — a trip that would leave you sweating on foot in the summer heat. In the afternoon, follow the coast road out to the salt pans or the tip of the Giens peninsula, somewhere a car feels like overkill and walking simply isn't realistic.

The town is built on a slope, spilling from the old quarter down to the marina and out along a narrow strip of land to Giens, and those distances are exactly what a scooter is made for. Traffic in the centre is light, parking is easy to find near the sights, and the coastal roads are wide and scenic rather than congested. If you want to rent a scooter in Hyères, this layout is precisely why it makes more sense here than a car or a bicycle.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Hyères?

For a 50cc scooter you need an AM licence, available from age 14, or any full car or motorcycle licence. For 125cc, you'll need either an A1 motorcycle licence or a category B car licence held for at least two years, plus a short training course — rental companies in Hyères often set their own minimum age, typically 18. A deposit is standard, usually held by card pre-authorisation and refunded on return, and non-EU visitors should bring an International Driving Permit alongside their licence.
