Mykonos scooter/atv rental anyone?

[55J5-5]

I have done some research to find prices on renting some scooters or atv's at Mykonos. Now looking for any recommendations or those to stay away from.

 

Any suggestions?

We asked concierge on ship for scooter rental info, he knew the closest to dock and whether reliable....just remember that they drive pretty fast and crazy.It was fun and we got to see a lot of the sights off beaten path, but must admit that I held on tight and screamed at hubby quite a lot.But a great experience,just not for faint of heart types....:cool::cool:

I received the reservation from action by email filled it out and scanned and emailed it back. Having never faxed out of the country didnt want it to go to the wrong place.

Take extra space out of web address for it to work.

These prices are right off their sites or emailed from them for Aug 2010.

action rental was right there for our pickup. We had another family that rented with us so action contacted another rental company for them. Think they share atv's when needed.

 

Remember to mark on the map where you return your atv. We got mixed up. Some of the hills are to much for 2 people to get up. Also the lighter you are the easier it is for the atv to get up the hill. Many of us had to walk our atv's up some hills. OH and there are only 5 gas stations on the island.

 

Roads are easy to navigate. Would recommend for the drivers to have experience driving these and driving in traffic, so old enough for regular drivers lic at least. We drove on the main roads often.

 

Loads of fun and will do this again!!!

I will be the driver and my wife the passenger. Which vehicle registers lower on the terrified passenger meter? Is taking the ATV on the beach acceptable?

Just rented last week from Hercules rental. 15 euro each, two of us on each machine, 8 euro in gas. The two machines we rented were lower end machines and I think they had governors on them that kept them from going very fast, which, in my mind, was a good way to go. Up hill, we could get up to 25 to 30 Km/h. downhill around 40 Km/h

 

We only rented them for a couple of hours as we spent the morning walking the town. They arent allowed in town so we felt like we'd like to see that part first, then ride in the afternoon. We didn't go to Paradise Beach, but we were told it was gorgeous...

Were the ATV rental places fairly obvious to find walking into town from the cruise ship?

Yes. There are a number of them and easily locatable. And if not, just ask.;)

Could you rent on the spot or did you have a reservation?

We had problems with the head guy to start with, then we had a break down and only had a little time as we were on a cruise. Then I was pulled away by my wife as this assh@#$ was basically challenging me to a scrap and this was all because I asked him for half our money back as we only got 1 hr use of the ATV plus we had to fill them up at the beginning because the were empty. Unless your a big guy and no wife around don't go there. If you are a big guy with no wife around then GO there and close the door!
