Renting a scooter is the smartest way to explore Santorini on your own schedule. EasyRide Santorini, based in Akrotiri, gives you a modern, well-maintained fleet, transparent pricing, and flexible pickup locations across the island — with instant online booking and no prepayment required.

Below you’ll find everything you need to know before you book: which scooter to choose, what it costs, where you can pick it up, what documents you need, and answers to the questions we get asked most often.

Why Rent a Scooter with EasyRide Santorini

Santorini’s roads were built for exploring at your own pace, not for waiting on a tour bus. A scooter lets you move freely between the caldera towns, the volcanic beaches, and the quiet inland villages without being tied to a schedule.

EasyRide Santorini is a family-owned business operating out of Akrotiri, with years of experience serving visitors from around the world. What sets our rental service apart:

• No prepayment needed — reserve online and pay when you pick up your vehicle. A credit card may be requested for security purposes only.
• Flexible pickup and drop-off — choose from 19 locations across the island, including the airport, the port, and most hotels.
• Modern, regularly serviced vehicles — every scooter in our fleet is inspected and maintained for a safe, smooth ride.
• Local support — our team is available before and during your trip for any questions about routes, road conditions, or your booking.
• Simple, fast booking — reserve your scooter in a few minutes through our online system, no phone calls or waiting required.

Our Scooter Fleet

We offer a range of scooters suited to different riders, group sizes, and driving experience levels. Whichever model you choose, all our scooters seat two passengers, run on an automatic gearbox (no gear-shifting needed), and use a 4-stroke engine for reliable fuel economy.

125cc Scooters

Our 125cc scooters are the most popular choice among visitors, offering an ideal balance of comfort, control, and affordability. They’re easy to handle even for riders with limited scooter experience, making them a great pick for couples and solo travelers who want a stress-free way to get around Fira, Oia, Kamari, and Perissa.

• Comfortable for two riders
• Automatic transmission
• Disc brakes for reliable stopping power
• Excellent fuel efficiency
• Starting from €14/day

200cc Scooters

For riders who want a bit more power — particularly useful on Santorini’s steeper inland roads or for longer daily distances — our 200cc scooters offer a stronger engine while remaining just as easy to operate as the 125cc models.

• Comfortable for two riders
• Automatic transmission
• Suited to longer routes and hillier terrain
• Starting from €16/day

Both scooter categories are available at all 19 of our pickup locations, subject to availability, so booking a few days ahead during peak season is recommended.

License Requirements

Greek law requires a valid driving license to rent and operate a scooter in Santorini. Requirements vary slightly by engine size:

• 125cc scooters: A1, A2, or full A category motorcycle license, or a standard car license that includes A1 entitlement, depending on your license type and country of issue. Minimum age 22.
• 200cc scooters: A2 or full A category motorcycle license. Minimum age 22.

If you’re unsure whether your license qualifies, our team is happy to check before your trip — just reach out via phone, WhatsApp, or email before booking.

How Booking Works

Rent A Scooter Santorini with EasyRide Santorini takes just a few steps:

1. Choose your pickup and drop-off locations from our list of 19 points across the island — airport, port, your hotel, or a fixed location such as Fira Cruise Port.
2. Select your pickup and drop-off dates and times to match your travel plans.
3. Pick your scooter from the available models and confirm your reservation.
4. Arrive at pickup — no prepayment is required. Bring your driving license and, if requested, a credit card for security purposes.

There’s no complicated paperwork and no need to visit an office in advance. Your scooter will be ready and waiting at the location and time you selected.

Where You Can Pick Up Your Scooter

We offer pickup and drop-off across Santorini, including:

• Santorini Airport (JTR)
• Athinios Port (all ferries)
• Fira Cruise Port (top of the cable car)
• Your hotel in Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli, Oia, Kamari, Perissa, Perivolos, Karterados, Messaria, Megalochori, Monolithos, Pyrgos, Emporio, and Akrotiri
• Vlychada Bay

Airport and port pickups are especially convenient if you want to start exploring the island as soon as you land or dock, without arranging separate transport to a rental office first.

Exploring Santorini on Two Wheels

Once you’ve picked up your scooter, the whole island opens up. Some of the most popular rides among our customers include:

• The caldera route between Fira and Oia, with sweeping sea views the entire way
• The southern beaches, including Perissa and Kamari’s black sand shores
• Akrotiri and the lighthouse, one of the best sunset viewpoints on the island
• Inland villages like Pyrgos, Megalochori, and Emporio, where you’ll find traditional architecture without the crowds

A scooter also makes parking effortless — while cars queue for spots in busy Fira and Oia during peak season, scooters can park in far more places, saving you time at every stop.

Safety on Santorini’s Roads

Santorini’s roads range from wide coastal routes to narrow village lanes, so a little preparation goes a long way:

• Always wear the helmet provided with your rental
• Take extra care in busy pedestrian areas like Oia and Fira, especially at sunset
• Watch for gravel and loose surfaces on some of the inland and coastal roads
• Carry water and sun protection, particularly if riding during midday in summer
• Check mirrors and signal before overtaking — roads can narrow quickly in village centers

Every scooter in our fleet is inspected and serviced regularly, so you can focus on the ride rather than the mechanics.

Scooter vs ATV: Which Should You Choose?

If you’re deciding between a scooter and an ATV, it usually comes down to what kind of trip you’re planning:

• Choose a scooter if you want maximum fuel efficiency, effortless parking, and a lighter, more budget-friendly way to move between towns and beaches.
• Choose an ATV if you’re looking for a sturdier ride with more ground clearance, particularly if you plan to explore rougher terrain or want an extra sense of adventure.

Both options are available at all our pickup locations, and our team can help you decide based on your itinerary if you’re not sure which fits best.
