Top 5 best scooter rentals in Toulon

Toulon rewards the traveller who gets off the main road. Wind up the switchbacks of Mont Faron on a scooter and the whole roadstead opens up below you — the naval base, the old town, the sea stretching toward the horizon. Head the other way and you're on the Corniche du Mourillon in minutes, sea breeze in your face, with the sand of Plage du Mourillon waiting at the end of the ride. This is a city built for two wheels, and renting one lets you string these moments together in a single afternoon instead of choosing just one.

Toulon's old town is a knot of narrow one-way lanes with almost nowhere to park a car, while its best sights — the hilltop views, the coastal coves, the beaches across the bay — are spread along winding roads that a car handles slowly and a scooter handles easily. If you want to rent a scooter in Toulon, you'll cover the port, the beaches and the hilltop viewpoint in one day, parking anywhere you like along the way.

Top 10 things to see in Toulon by scooter

1. Mont Faron — a steep switchback road climbs to a summit with panoramic views over the harbor and the Mediterranean, plus the téléphérique station and the D-Day memorial.
2. Vieux Port de Toulon (Darse Vieille) — the historic old harbor, lined with cafés against a backdrop of naval ships, and the natural place to start any ride.
3. Plage du Mourillon — the city's main sandy beach strip, an easy ride from the center along the coast road.
4. Corniche du Mourillon — the scenic coastal road linking the port to the Mourillon beaches, made for an easy seaside cruise.
5. Tour Royale — a 16th-century fort at the tip of the Mourillon peninsula, overlooking the roadstead.
6. Cours Lafayette Market / Old Town — narrow lanes and a daily market in the historic center, best explored slowly on foot after you park.
7. Cap Brun — a rocky headland east of Mourillon with coastal footpaths and sea views, a favorite detour.
8. Route du Faron / Vallée du Las — a winding hillside road through pine forest, popular with riders chasing curves and views.
9. Fort Saint-Louis / Anse Magaud — a small cove and fort near Le Mourillon, quieter and with clear water.
10. Les Sablettes — a popular beach across the bay in La Seyne-sur-Mer, worth the slightly longer ride around the harbor.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Toulon?

For a moped up to 50cc, capped at 45 km/h, France requires an AM licence, available from age 14 — but if you already hold a full car or motorcycle licence, or were born before 1 January 1988, you're covered. For a 125cc scooter you'll need an A1 motorcycle licence, or a category B car licence held for at least two years along with a short training course. Rental agencies in Toulon often set their own minimum age regardless of what the law allows, so check this when booking. Non-EU visitors should carry an International Driving Permit alongside their home licence. A deposit is standard, usually pre-authorised on a credit card and released when the scooter comes back undamaged.

Local traffic rules in Toulon

France drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for every rider and passenger on a scooter, and yours needs to be ECE-approved with four reflective stickers. Gloves are legally required too — France enforces this more strictly than most countries. Keep your headlight on at all times, day or night. Speed limits in town are 50 km/h, dropping as you enter built-up areas at the town-name sign. The blood-alcohol limit is 0.5 g/l, so keep drinking and riding well apart.
