<\/span>Scooter Rental in Seychelles: Prices, Contacts<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAnd now for the bravest ones who haven’t closed this article yet :). Briefly and concisely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nHere’s the phone number of a person who rents scooters in Seychelles: +248 2 795 900. His name is Jean-Paul. Contact him on WhatsApp. He responds slowly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n He rents specifically on the island of Mahe but knows people who can provide you with scooters on Praslin as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Despite the entire business being illegal, this gentleman is honest, doesn’t scam for money. He doesn’t require an advance payment but asks for a small deposit when you pick up the scooter. An interesting article about the local people and how they treat tourists<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nRemember the number of scooters on roads in Asia. In the photo of the city center in Seychelles at any given time, find at least one scooter. Even locals hardly use them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nScooter Rental in Seychelles Prices:<\/p>\nHere’s another downside to scooter rental. Renting a scooter in Seychelles on Mahe costs a minimum of $30 per day for a two-week rental. If you rent for fewer days, it’s $35. I know someone who rents for a whole month, but he’s treated like a local, and they charge him $25 per day \u2013 the cheapest option. On Praslin, prices range from $35 to $40 per day.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nThe funny part of the situation is that you can rent a car for $40 to $45 per day. Someone might mention the difference in fuel consumption. Trust me, it’s almost negligible. The distances here are so small that a full tank in a car will last you two weeks of non-stop driving around the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nMy personal experience:<\/p>\nI’m an experienced biker, with winters spent in Goa, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and so on. In my first two trips to Seychelles, I rented a scooter. It was okay in September during the dry season. But the second time was in December when rains were frequent, and it was a nightmare in every sense. After that trip, I only rent a car in Seychelles. But you’re mature individuals; decide for yourselves.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\nA very useful article about renting a car in Seychelles<\/a>: lots of nuances, personal experience, pitfalls, cars without a deposit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nIn my opinion, scooter rental is not an expense category where you’ll save a lot during your trip. There are more costly expense categories. Read the article: Seychelles on a budget<\/a>, or how to vacation inexpensively.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn conclusion: overall, if you’re an experienced biker, traveling to the islands during the dry season, without a spouse and children, then scooter rental in Seychelles has its place. Just be extremely vigilant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
