Moped Hire Maroochydore, Mooloolaba & Alexandra Headland

Yes. Sunshine Coast Scooter Hire rents 50cc Milan mopeds that you can ride on a standard Australian car driver's licence — no motorcycle licence is required. Riders must be 21 years or over. Our 50cc mopeds are twist-and-go automatic, so there are no gears or clutch to worry about.

No. In Queensland you can ride a 50cc moped on a standard car (C class) licence. A motorcycle licence (RE, REO or Open) is only required for larger scooters such as our 125cc Milan, which needs an RE / REO / P1 / P2 motorcycle licence as a minimum.

Milan 50cc moped hire starts at $55 for 4 hours, $75 for a full day, $95 for 24 hours, $65 per day for multi-day hire, and $300 for 7 days. A refundable $500 security bond applies. An optional Peace of Mind (POM) insurance upgrade is available for $50, which reduces your excess from $2,000 to $1,500 and includes 24/7 roadside assistance.

Scooters and mopeds are available from our Buderim depot at 3/25 Kayleigh Drive, Buderim (off Wises Rd), which is a short ride to Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Alexandra Headland, Caloundra and Noosa. We serve the whole Sunshine Coast region from Noosa in the north to Caloundra in the south.

Yes. Our Buderim depot is minutes from Maroochydore, Mooloolaba and Alexandra Headland, making it the closest scooter hire option for these coastal hubs. You can ride the esplanade at Mooloolaba, cruise Cotton Tree and Maroochydore Beach, and beach-hop along the coast on a single 50cc moped.

The minimum age to hire a moped or scooter from Sunshine Coast Scooter Hire is 21 years. Riders must hold a valid driver's licence — a car licence is sufficient for the 50cc Milan mopeds.

Yes. A helmet is included with every moped and scooter hire. We recommend riders also bring covered footwear. Optional add-ons such as a jacket and gloves are available at checkout.

The Milan 50cc mopeds are single-rider only, with a passenger capacity up to 110kg. For two-up riding you would need a larger motorcycle from our main fleet. The 50cc is perfect for solo coastal cruising and beach-hopping.

The Milan 50cc moped has a fuel economy of around 2L per 100km and can travel up to 200km on a single tank, making it one of the most fuel-efficient ways to explore the Sunshine Coast. Fuel is included — you just return the moped with a similar level of fuel.

All Milan mopeds and scooters are fully automatic twist-and-go with push-button start — no gears, no clutch, no manual operation. They are extremely easy to ride, even for first-timers, on the flat coastal roads around Maroochydore, Mooloolaba and Noosa.

Moped and scooter hire is depot pickup and return only from our Buderim depot at 3/25 Kayleigh Drive, Buderim (off Wises Rd). This keeps our prices low. The depot is a short ride to Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Alexandra Headland, Caloundra and Noosa.

You can book online through our website by selecting your moped and choosing your dates, or call us on 0499 877 587. Same-day hire is often available. We recommend booking ahead during school holidays and the summer peak season.

A 50cc moped can be ridden on a car licence, tops out around 50km/h and is ideal for flat coastal roads and short trips. A 125cc scooter is faster, better for longer trips and highway riding, but requires an RE / REO / P1 / P2 motorcycle licence. We offer both the Milan 50cc and the Milan 125cc for hire.

For short trips and coastal exploring, yes. At $55 for 4 hours and $75 for a full day, a 50cc moped is significantly cheaper than renting a car or using rideshare, and you'll spend only a few dollars on fuel. It's also the easiest way to find beachfront parking at Mooloolaba and Maroochydore.

Sunshine Coast Scooter Hire is the Sunshine Coast's dedicated scooter and moped rental specialist. We own and operate our entire fleet of Milan 50cc and 125cc scooters, are based in Buderim minutes from Maroochydore and Mooloolaba, and serve the whole coast from Noosa to Caloundra. We're also the only scooter hire company on the Sunshine Coast that owns a full fleet of premium motorcycles, so we can upgrade you if your plans change. Book online or call 0499 877 587.

Yes. Tourists and international visitors with a valid car driver's licence, including overseas licences (with an International Driving Permit if not in English), can hire our 50cc Milan mopeds without a motorcycle licence. Our Buderim depot is about 10 minutes from Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY). Helmets are included and we'll show you how to ride before you head off.

Yes. The ride from Maroochydore to Noosa Heads is about 45 minutes on a 50cc moped along the coastal road through Coolum Beach and Peregian Beach. The route is flat, scenic and scooter-friendly. A full-day hire at $75 gives you plenty of time to ride up, park at Noosa, explore Hastings Street and the National Park, and ride back.

Yes. Sunshine Coast Scooter Hire is based in Buderim, approximately 10 minutes from Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY) at Maroochydore. Many passengers take a short taxi or rideshare from the airport to our depot, pick up a 50cc moped, and ride to Mooloolaba or Maroochydore, which are closer to our depot than the airport itself.

The best scooter routes on the Sunshine Coast are the Mooloolaba to Maroochydore coastal cruise along the esplanade, the Maroochydore to Caloundra beach hop through Kawana and Wurtulla, and the Maroochydore to Noosa day trip via Coolum and Peregian Beach. All are flat, scenic and perfect for a 50cc moped.

A helmet is included with every hire. We recommend covered footwear (no thongs or sandals), long pants, and sunscreen. Optional riding jackets and gloves are available as add-ons at checkout. The Sunshine Coast is sunny year-round, so sunglasses and sun protection are a good idea.

Yes. We offer weekly moped hire for $300 for 7 days on the Milan 50cc, which works out to under $43 a day. Weekly hire is popular with visitors staying on the Sunshine Coast for a holiday who want the freedom to ride every day without daily rental costs. Multi-day hire is $65 per day. Book early during school holidays and the summer peak season.

Yes. All our Milan mopeds and scooters are fully automatic twist-and-go with push-button start, so there are no gears, no clutch and no manual operation.

We'll walk you through starting, stopping and riding before you leave the depot.
