Best experience for scooter rental. It's just 1.5km away from train station. The staffs were co-operative and helpful. Vehicles were in good condition.
Locorides is awesome. Hired a Scotty(Yamaha Fascino) from them in Varkala for 3 days. Scooty was in awesome condition and well maintained. Didn't had any issues riding for nearly 230km. Everything can be done by their App which I liked, no hassle with paper work or giving original documents. Thank you, Sujeesh for your wonderful services

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need before you ride.
A valid government photo ID and your driving licence. Gearless scooters need a two-wheeler licence (or an International Driving Permit if you are visiting from abroad); geared bikes like the Classic 350 need a licence valid for gear (MCWG).
From our office at Hospital Junction, near Govt. Taluk Hospital — about 1 km from Varkala Railway Station and a short hop from the cliff. Your booking confirmation has the exact location and our hours.
Yes. One helmet is included with every ride. If you're riding with a passenger, you should request an additional helmet, which will be available at an extra charge.
Yes — a refundable deposit of ₹1000 applies. It is shown at checkout before you pay, and it is returned within 3 days of you handing the vehicle back, once it has been checked over.
You can book your ride anytime through our website, Android app, or iOS app. To confirm your booking, the payment must be completed online through our secure payment gateway.
Yes. Rentals are billed by the hour rather than as rounded-up days, on a 12-hour minimum block — so a half-day ride does not cost you a full one. Daily, weekly and full-trip rates work out lower again the longer you ride, and every rate is shown against the vehicle before you book.
Yes. You can extend your rental directly through the LocoRides app, provided the bike is still available for the additional time. If you plan to extend your ride, we recommend doing it immediately through the app without waiting until the last minute, as another customer may book the vehicle for the next slot.
No, fuel is not included. The vehicle must be returned with the same fuel level as when it was handed over to you. If the fuel level is lower at the time of return, the applicable fuel charge must be paid. If the vehicle is returned with a higher fuel level, no refund or adjustment will be provided for the extra fuel.
