The Best Urban Mobility Rentals in Paris

June 20, 2020
What do you do to get from one place to another in Paris? Take the metro? Of course, it's the easiest and arguably the cheapest option! Get a cab? Why Not? Although you might have to butt a few heads to get one in this busy city. How about just renting a car? If you have the means, go for it! However, there's one option that's slowly becoming very popular and even sort of like a tradition that you have to do in Paris: ride a bike. There's a good few to get one from too!

Vélib' Metropole

Out of all the bike rentals in Paris, Vélib' Metropole is probably the most popular. And it's no secret as to why. For one thing, renting it for just a half-hour costs only €1. That reason along has drawn many locals and tourists alike to try out their bikes. And with 20,000 of them all on offer, you're guaranteed to have one waiting for you for the day. As far as the damage charge is concerned, it's €150, which isn't as expensive as with other rentals in the city. Just imagine having saved a ton of money biking through the French capital and seeing all its beautiful glory! 

 

Cityscoot

If you're not exactly into peddling your way through Paris, why not just scoot around? Yep, just like the Vespas in Rome, Paris has the scooters. More specifically, ones from Cityscoot. In a matter of seconds, you will have your very own scooter for the rest of the day or probably even for longer than that. And the best part? All you need is an app! In just three clicks, you'll not only book a scooter, but you get to keep it for as long as you want. When you're done with it, all you have to do is to end your rental on the app, wherever you've parked.

JUMP

It's pretty lucky that Uber is available in many countries. Thanks to services like these, you can now easily book a ride and get to where you need to go without having to fight someone else for a cab. However, did you know that you can actually book an electric bike from there as well? JUMP is an electrical bike renting service that has partnered with Uber in allowing people to unlock their bikes whilst they're in various major cities, including Paris. To unlock on, it only costs €1, and you spend €0.15 per minute when in use. Not a bad deal, right? 

 

Lime Micromobile

Do you know why Lime Micromobile is devoted to renting out scooters to as many Parisians and tourists as possible? Because they're all about sustainability. While Paris has long been one of the pioneering cities in combatting climate change and promoting a more environment-friendly lifestyle, the overall infrastructure and daily life in it leaves a lot to be desired. Lime Micromobile seeks to change that. By not only offering but also encouraging people to ride scooters instead of cars that emit carbon monoxide, they're ensuring the safety of the planet. Scooting through the beautiful French capital is just one big bonus for the customers!

Alternative Bike

Out of all the mobility rentals on this list, Alternative Bike probably has the most complete in terms of what you get. You not only receive your electric bike for the day and helmet but also a rain poncho, a basket, and more. It has practically everything you'll need for any eventuality. When it rains, you just pop open your rain poncho and you'll stay dry throughout your rental period. If you suddenly want to buy something, the basket can easily hold it for you as you pedal your way through the city. 

 

Paris Bike Tour

Finally, there's the Paris Tour Bike. Don't worry, you won't need to join any official tour to rent a bike from them. All you need is your valid ID and you're all set. Similarly to Alternative Bike, you also get a few extra handy essentials when you rent a bike. The only difference is they come free when you request it. Once you do, you'll have no problem exploring the city no matter what happens or what you do. And on weekends, from Saturday morning all the way to Sunday night, you can rent a bike for the flat rate of €28. It's one of the best deals for any mobility rental in town!
