OUR REVIEWS

Road Runner Scooter Hire

First Selfie on the bike
Place: Magnetic Island, Australia
Visited: 23rd September 2015

We were quite surprised at the reviews of this company! Only checking the reviews after we had enjoyed ourselves, we were qute shocked to say the least of the negative reviews! We, on the other hand, could not have spent a better day on Maggie Island!


Both having a bike license, we decided to head to Magnetic Island and tour it with a twist. Seeing many adverts for the 'topless cars', we decided it would be such a better experience on a different 'topless' vehicle. Inquiring about the company from the mainland of Australia, and already having excellent customer support and aided us according to our experiences on bikes, we purchased the boat tickets ($25 each return), and quickly got off the boat. The only disadvantage of being slightly away from the terminal (just 1.6km away - 20mins), we soon enjoyed the walk, and started getting away from the hustle and bustle. 

Reception was very helpful, and had very basic rules. Fuel up before return, advise of new scratches, and be

back by 17:00! So just after 09:00 (the time Road Runner Scooter Hire open), we set off with a Honda SL250

for just $65 between the two of us!

Traveling around the island, on unsealed roads, uphills and amongst beautiful beaches, we had time to chill,

enjoy the ride, snorkel in quite a few places, and enjoy the island! 45kms of driving around! Using just half a

tank of fuel, and it only costed us $3.25 to refuel, without any hassles, we returned the bike back at around

16:30, and offered us a free courtesy bus! We got stopped at Geoffrey Bay in order to snorkel with the

sunset before catching the 18:55 ferry.
 

The day was perfect thanks to this company, and although the bike was not top-notch (to be expected), it was still safe to ride, and cannot recommend a better way to view the island in a short period (day), but a very decent amount of time!
