ABOUT

Welcome to Taipei Scooter and Motorcycle Rentals, a rider-focused, foreigner-friendly service built out of a genuine passion for two wheels.I'm Dr.Kuthati, a long-time resident of Taiwan. I understand the unique challenges foreigners often face when trying to rent scooters or motorcycles here: language barriers, confusing terms, unfamiliar road rules, and steep deposits. That’s why I’ve created a rental experience that’s simple, transparent, and welcoming.Unlike large rental chains, every vehicle in my fleet is personally cared for, legally registered, and thoroughly inspected before each ride. While this isn’t a full-time storefront operation, it’s a fully legal business driven by a love for riding and a desire to share the freedom of the open road with others.Whether you’re here for a short visit or a long stay, I’m happy to help with route suggestions, traffic tips, and local advice. No hidden fees, no tourist traps, just honest, flexible service and well-maintained bikes to help you explore Taiwan with confidence.Ride safe, ride free, and enjoy Taiwan on two wheels.FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ?1. Can I ride round the island on scooter ?Answer:Yes, you can ride round the island on a scooter, and the round-the-island trip takes about 1200 km to 1400 km for most of the customers who rent from us. We suggest renting the Yamaha Smax 155 for round-the-island trips as it's comfortable for long distances and safer.2. Do scooters have any insurance?Answer: All the rental scooters have basic third-party and medical insurance, which is mandatory for all vehicles in Taiwan. This basic insurance does not cover the damages to the scooter; you are responsible for any damages occurring during the rental period. We recommend obtaining your own medical or damage insurance from your home country, if possible.3. Do you provide helmets?
Answer: Yes, we provide basic 3/4 and half helmets freely, as it is unlawful to ride a scooter without a helmet in Taiwan. The helmets provided by us are basic helmets and not expensive ones, as customers often damage them. However, we suggest you prepare your own helmets if you want a perfect-fitting helmet for round-the-island trips, as Asian head shape varies with other countries.
4. Do you provide mobile holders for GPS navigation?
Answer:Yes, we provide mobile phone mounts for all our scooters, which can accommodate phones under 6 inches in size. We suggest you bring power banks, as scooters do not have a charging port.
5. Are rental plans customizable?
Answer:The rental plans are customizable. For a custom quote, please message us.
6. Do I have to sign any rental contract?
Answer:Yes, you have to sign a rental contract with your passport and driver's license details. The terms and conditions of the rental, along with the rental duration, the deposit, and the rental fee charged, will be mentioned on the contract.
7. I have additional questions to ask?
Answer:Please message us in WhatsApp, Line, or FB. We will reply between 8:00 am and 10:00 pm Taiwan local time. Thank you.
8. Can i pay with card?
