Make sure you allow for extra driving time to get to the meeting spot as everything you have heard about LA traffic is true, it’s sometimes really slow moving. Because of this, GPS and map program estimated driving times might not be accurate. Plan accordingly so you don’t miss your tour or ride.

We offer a wide variety of start times for your convenience, from before sunrise to late afternoon.

Refer to the online calendar below for the most accurate and up-to-date times.

Great question! There are 2 main differences:

1. Length of Time – Sightseeing Tours are much longer than Rides. Tours are 2 hours or more while Rides are one hour hour or less.
2. Type of Experience – Rides are mainly a driving experience. Tours combine  driving & time exploring sights outside of the mini-car. 

Tours: To really get to know an area, you need to explore it! Our Sightseeing Tours are longer in length and allow you plenty of time to get out of your Scoot, hear information on local history, and have time on your own to explore, take pictures, and walk around famous LA areas. Tours are the perfect combination of sightseeing and Scoot driving all in one!

Rides: If you’re looking for a shorter adventure focused mainly on the fun of driving these Scoots, then a ride might be more your style. You stay in the Scoot the entire time, except to switch drivers with your guest if you want to.

​On our Tours, you will see top tourist sights in LA such as: The Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, Warner Bros. Studios, Disney Animation Studios, The LA Zoo, and many more!!

We offer different tours and rides to meet your needs so you can choose a scooting experience that matches up with your schedule and the sights you want to see.

​Visit our Tour and Rides page to learn more.
