Title: Scooters in Arillas
Post by: Spacestar on May 30, 2006, 04:56:23 PM
Hi Folks,

I'm visiting Arillas in late July and I'm wondering if there are any scooters to rent to explore the island?
I'm wondering how much the cost would be for a day rent?

Thanks!

Igor

Mentioning the subject of scooters - what do you guys think of them ?

I'm unsure after having it rammed down my throat by holiday reps for years that they are bad and never to go near them.

2 bigbadjon: tnx! That is just what I needed!!  :lol:
I intend to rent one and make some "sightseeing" around the island.

2 lozicle: yes, I know what you mean.
I know there is a risk, but I rather rent it from someone reliable, like bigbajon said. That's why I'm asking before taking an action.

Some friends were also on Corfu (not in Arillas) renting a bike and they did not have any bad experience.

We'll see!

Thanks again and accept greetings from Slovenia!  :P

Title: Scooter Hire
Post by: jenna on May 30, 2006, 10:38:52 PM
We hired the Peugeot Speedfight scooter from Arkokal Travel 2 years ago and had absolutely no problems at all.  They were very helpful and the scooter was in excellent condition. You are provided with crash helmets and a road map free along with a full tank of petrol which you must fully refill again before returning the scooter but we found it hardly used any fuel at all. I would recommend these guys if you are thinking about hiring one.

Hmmm.... what kind of costs are involved with scooter hire ?

You've made a valid point there bigbadjon !! :lol:

I'm still not sure I'd be too happy on a scooter though - it's scary enough being on the wrong side of the road in a car !

Greeting too from England to Slovenia Spacestar  ! :wave:

We have hired scooters from arkokal travel twice and had no problems. If you watch the roads for potholes as you go along, and manage to avoid them, you should be fine. The bikes were in good nick, and didn't use much fuel. They're very reasonable cost wise, and if your careful you will have a great time. 8)

Hi! Me again... :)

I'd like to create a sort of a plan for a vacation in Arillas.

Are there any places you would recommend for good local food?  :P

Places it's worth to see? Any favourite beaches?

Thanks!
