Considerations Before You Ride in Czech Republic
You need a valid driving licence covering the type of scooter or motorcycle you want to hire. As a general guide, AM covers mopeds, A1 covers motorcycles and scooters up to 125cc and 11kW, while A2 or A is required for more powerful motorcycles depending on their power.
For UK visitors, a UK photocard driving licence can be used in Czechia without an International Driving Permit (IDP). If you have an older paper licence, you may need a 1968 IDP.
Rental companies can set additional requirements, including minimum age, how long you have held your licence and which licence categories they accept. Always check the requirements for your chosen vehicle before booking.

Scooters and motorcycles can generally use Czechia’s public roads, but motorways are restricted to motor vehicles with a design speed of at least 80 km/h. This means mopeds and slower scooters cannot use them.
Larger scooters and motorcycles capable of meeting this requirement can use motorways, while local restrictions, pedestrian zones and roads closed to motor traffic must always be respected. For most scooter trips, the quieter regional roads are also likely to offer a much more enjoyable way to explore the country.
There are currently no general FCDO warnings advising travellers to avoid particular regions of Czechia, although local or temporary road restrictions can still apply.

A properly fastened, approved motorcycle helmet is required by Czech law when riding a scooter, moped or motorcycle. Passengers must also wear an approved, securely fastened helmet. Riders are also required to protect their eyes appropriately, for example with a helmet visor or suitable riding glasses.
Other protective clothing such as gloves, a riding jacket, long trousers and sturdy footwear is strongly recommended, although these are not generally mandatory items of riding wear under Czech road law.
Whether helmets or other protective equipment are supplied depends on the individual rental company and vehicle. Check what is included before booking, particularly if you require a passenger helmet or specific sizes.
Yes. Czech law sets minimum riding ages according to licence category: 15 for AM mopeds, 16 for A1 motorcycles up to 125cc, and 18 for A2 motorcycles. An unrestricted A licence is normally available from 24, or from age 20 after holding an A2 licence for at least two years.
However, the legal riding age is not necessarily the rental age. Rental companies can impose higher minimum ages and may require you to have held the appropriate licence for a certain period. Requirements can also vary depending on the scooter or motorcycle you choose.
Always check the age and licence requirements for your chosen vehicle before booking.
If you have a UK photocard driving licence, you do not need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to ride in the Czech Republic, provided your licence includes the correct entitlement for the scooter or motorcycle you are hiring.
If you hold an older paper UK licence, you may need a 1968 IDP. Rental companies can also impose their own document requirements, so check the conditions for your chosen scooter before travelling.
Travellers with licences issued outside the UK should check the requirements that apply to their own licence and nationality.

Yes. In Czechia, traffic drives on the right, and scooters and motorcycles must follow the posted speed limits and local road signs. Riders should also keep their lights on during the day, as daytime lighting is required on Czech roads.
Czechia has a zero-tolerance approach to drink-driving. Do not drink any alcohol before riding; police can carry out roadside breath tests and penalties can include fines and loss of your licence.
Take extra care around trams in cities such as Prague and Brno, and watch for tram tracks, which can be particularly slippery for two-wheeled vehicles. Outside the cities, adjust your speed for winding rural roads and changing weather conditions.

UK Government – Czechia travel advice and road safety
Rental scooters in the Czech Republic should have the compulsory third-party liability insurance required for vehicles used on Czech roads. This covers liability for injury or damage caused to other people, but it should not be assumed to cover damage to the rental scooter itself.
Additional cover for damage, theft and other losses, together with any excess you may have to pay, varies between rental companies and individual vehicles. Check the insurance details shown with your booking carefully so you understand exactly what is included and whether additional protection is available.
There may be. Depending on the rental company and vehicle, you could pay extra for things such as additional helmets, an extra rider, delivery or collection, optional insurance cover or exceeding an agreed mileage allowance.
A security deposit may also be required when you collect the scooter. This is normally refundable provided the vehicle is returned in accordance with the rental conditions.
Check the booking details carefully before confirming so you know what is included, what is optional and what may be payable locally.
