If you want to be mobile during your next holiday in Nice on the French Mediterranean coast, but still want to do without a car, you can hire a scooter from a local scooter rental company.

Especially if you are travelling alone or in pairs and don't need a lot of baggage, then hiring a bicycle is the right choice.

By Scooter through the streets of the coastal town of Nice

Nice is a seaside town on the French Mediterranean coast, the Cote d' Azur and with a scooter of a rental you are well on the way, especially in the narrow streets of the old town. The winding alleys with their well-preserved houses painted in beautiful warm colors are an absolute must for every visit. So you can take the scooter, which you could hire cheaply from a local scooter rental company, directly to the nice places with the many cafés and restaurants and take a break here. Numerous shops also invite you to have a look.

The right insurance for the Scooter in Nice

If you hire a scooter cheaply on the Internet for the streets in Nice via the price comparison, you should also choose the appropriate insurance. Even if comprehensive insurance without excess appears to be more expensive at first glance, it can be much cheaper in the event of a claim. If damage occurs to the scooter as a result of a small accident or simply because the bike has fallen over, you will not be charged for full insurance without deductible. And minor or major damage can easily be done on the busy streets of Nice with a scooter. In the southern countries in particular, road users are not paying attention to the situation and minor damage is often pre-programmed. However, you are always on the safe side when you take out a comprehensive insurance policy with no excess.

The one-way hire for the Scooter in Nice

One-way hire is a contract model in which the scooter is rented for a round trip. Here you pick up the scooter at a certain pick-up station in Nice, but you don't want to stay in the city, but for example drive on to Cannes and return the bike later. If you have found a scooter from a local car hire company, you can hire it with the one-way rental price comparison.

Why does the deposit also apply to scooters?

The deposit serves as security for the  car hire company of the scooter that the bike will be delivered to you. For example, the security deposit is due at the pick-up station upon receipt and is usually deposited via your credit card. As soon as you return the scooter to the car hire company after the rental period, the deposit will be refunded in full.

The extra driver for the scooter in Nice

If you don't start your holiday alone, you should also make sure that you include the clause "additional driver" when concluding the rental contract for your scooter. This way both of them can drive the scooter and you are still on the safe side of the insurance company if something should happen. The driving pleasure with a scooter should be enjoyed by all passengers. Therefore, if you hire a scooter cheaply in the offer of the price comparison, make sure that you also register the additional driver here.

Hire a Scooter in Nice - important traffic information

In Nice, helmets are compulsory for all two-wheelers. This means that you and your passenger must wear the helmet at all times, even if many locals might not. Firstly, your own safety takes priority here, and secondly, there is the risk of fines being imposed if you do not wear a helmet. Ask the car hire company before concluding the contract about the age at which a scooter may be driven. Because the different providers you can find on the Internet have different age restrictions. For example, you can usually hire a scooter in Nice at a reasonable price from the age of 18 to 21 if you have a valid driving licence. On the streets of Nice and other French cities, pay particular attention to the offensive driving here and to the fact that the bicyclists mostly wind their way between the cars.
