Scooter Hire in Melbourne: The Smart Way to Get to Work (and Everywhere Else)

17th October 2025

If you’ve ever waited 25 minutes for a bus that “disappeared” from the tracker, you already know — getting around Melbourne can be a mission.

Trams crawl, trains delay, and by the time you actually reach work or uni, your coffee’s cold and your patience is gone.

For a lot of riders, the fix isn’t another Myki top-up — it’s getting on a scooter.

And the smart ones? They rent, not buy.

1. For Everyday Workers Who Are Over the Commute

If you’re working early mornings, late nights, or doing shifts across town, public transport isn’t built for your schedule.

A scooter lets you leave when you want, cut travel time in half, and never stress about missing the last train home.

Workers in Reservoir, Preston, Thomastown, Coburg, and the CBD are already doing it — swapping slow commutes for quick, cheap rides that actually fit their day.

2. Buying a Scooter? Do the Maths.

Sure, buying your own scooter sounds great… until you do the numbers:

  • Hundreds if not thousands upfront for the scooter
  • Rego, insurance, servicing, tyres
  • And when something breaks, mechanics in Melbourne easily charge $200+ just to fix brakes or cables

That’s before you even get to regular servicing or unexpected breakdowns.

With rental, it’s one simple price — from $39/week, and we reward long-term rentals.

No mechanic bills. No rego stress. No random “engine light” panic at 10pm.

Just a scooter that runs, maintained and ready every week.

3. For Workers, Students & Side-Hustlers

Not everyone’s doing delivery full-time — and that’s okay.

Our riders use scooters for all kinds of reasons:

  • Getting to factory or warehouse jobs
  • Reaching hospital or hospitality shifts
  • Commuting to La Trobe, RMIT Bundoora, or work in the city
  • Doing Uber Eats or DoorDash on the side for a bit of extra income

A scooter makes life flexible. You decide where and when to go, without relying on anyone.

🛠 4. Free Servicing = Real Savings

Let’s be honest — servicing is where owning a scooter starts to hurt.

Oil changes, brake pads, tyres… it all adds up fast.

When you rent with HAA HAA, we cover it.

Every scooter gets free servicing, and if something goes wrong, we fix or swap it.

That means you keep moving — without losing a day’s work or a week’s pay.

5. Local and Reliable — Based in Reservoir

We’re right here in Reservoir, Melbourne’s north — close to where riders actually live and work.

That means:

  • Easy pick-up and return
  • No waiting weeks for delivery
  • Local support if anything happens

If you’re around Preston, Thomastown, Coburg, or Broadmeadows, we’re basically your neighbour.
