Highly recommend - The owner was so very helpful, knowledgeable and patient. The scooters where in good condition and the app extremely useful. We ve rented scooters/ motorcycles all over Europe and this was a simple pain free experience where nothing is too much trouble. We hired two, 125cc bikes for two days for myself, my wife and my 12 year old as pillion and they made seeing such a wonderful city a breeze. Thankyou so much for a great experience, my wife and I are both bikers of many years and we can highly recommend The Original Budapest Scooter Tour.

Fun scootering in Budapest - Andrevich is the most professional and at the same time a fun guy to work with. I rented a 125cc for two days and I highly recommend scootering in Budapest. Park anywhere, beat the traffic, total fun.
You will need a motorcycle/scooter license though for 125cc (IDP though he accepted my California)
Andrew (;-)) has a neat app with way points and you can mount your mobile totally convenient.
Cant recommend this agency enough

Scooter Rental experience - We visited Budapest for a 5 day stay in the city. We started the first day by taking taxis. it is on it is very good but it is very expensive. When suddenly a little lower from the large halls we saw this store. Shop manager Andrew presented the formulas to us. There was no more than 125cm2. So we took 50cm2. the scooters were top, practical, and well equipped. For 2 days it cost us 45€ including tax, the topppp. On top of that, we had a little setback the day before departure and The company was super understanding and really made it available to us.
Thank you very much for you’re quality of services
