Locatourisle

Who they are

Locatourisle is a rental agency on Belle-Île-en-Mer that belongs to the company SAS Les Cars Bleus. Its office is on the quai Bonnelle in Le Palais, right opposite the quay where the boats from Quiberon dock, so you pick up your bike or car as soon as you step off the ferry. The website gives no owners' names or the year they began. The agency opens every day of the year, including Sundays, from 8:30 to 18:00.

What they rent

They have two businesses with separate websites. The bike one offers ordinary and electric bikes, which the agency says have up to 140 km of range, 29-inch mountain bikes for adults and children, a cargo bike and accessories for going with kids: baby seats and trailers. The bikes are checked daily. They are hired by the day or by the week, and on return the most favourable rate for the actual duration is applied. Prices are in a 2026 rate sheet in PDF on its website.

The car one runs all year, with small cars, estates, saloons, people carriers, electric cars and convertibles. They are collected at Le Palais or Sauzon, or brought to you at Bangor airfield or at your hotel, holiday home or campsite. The driver needs the original licence, held for at least two years; a Spanish licence is valid as an EU licence. The idea of the house is that you can switch from car to bike depending on the weather.

Bike conditions

On collection you must show a valid identity document: ID card, passport or driving licence. Electric bikes are not hired to under-15s, and under-12s must wear a helmet. The lock and its keys are charged if lost, €10 to €30. In case of theft or loss you pay the bike's value, which ranges from €300 for a child's mountain bike to €2,400 for the cargo one, and damage is billed by parts. It must be returned at the agreed time: lateness is charged as an extra half day, and returning it early does not entitle you to a refund.

They also deliver bikes to any point on the island, on request by phone or email.

Bookings and tips

They recommend booking in advance. You book online on the Rodeeo platform, linked from its website, by phone on +33 6 38 94 44 26 (bikes) or +33 2 97 31 83 56 (agency), or by email at [email protected] and [email protected]. Changes and cancellations are requested at least 24 hours ahead and depend on availability; if the agency has to cancel for force majeure, it refunds the amount or changes the date. The website is in French only.

The agency itself warns that Belle-Île has no cycle lanes and that its roads are narrow and busy in season, so you must ride with great care, especially with children. The tourist office publishes cycling routes round the island.
