How SCOOTSCOOT Works: Connecting Riders & Rental Shops
SCOOTSCOOT is the bridge between adventurous travelers and trusted scooter rental shops across Southeast Asia. Here's exactly how our platform works for both riders and rental businesses.
For Travelers: Rent a Scooter in 3 Steps
1. Find Your Perfect Scooter
Search by destination (city or region) and travel dates. Browse verified rental shops with transparent pricing, real photos, and honest reviews from fellow travelers. Filter by scooter type (automatic vs manual), price range, and shop ratings.
What you'll see: Exact daily/weekly rates, deposit requirements, what's included (helmet, lock, insurance), shop location, and availability calendar.
2. Book & Confirm
Select your rental dates and scooter. Review the digital rental agreement with clear terms and conditions. Pay securely through our platform with your preferred payment method. Receive instant confirmation with pickup details and shop contact information.
No surprises: The price you see is the price you pay. All fees, deposits, and insurance costs are shown upfront before you book.
3. Pick Up & Ride
Arrive at the rental shop at your scheduled time. Show your booking confirmation (digital or printed). Complete a quick safety check with the shop owner. Get your helmet, keys, and hit the road!
During your rental: Access safety guides, route recommendations, and 24/7 support through the SCOOTSCOOT app. Report any issues directly through the platform.
