Barbados Travel Forum

Hi,

Could anyone provide names of reliable/cheap places to rent scooters and the "right" rate that I should seek.
I will be in Barbados between end of January and start of February and I'd like to rent it for 4/5 days.
I will be staying in the Christ Church (Oistins) area.

Thank you.

renting a scooter in Barbados isn't that easy of a thing to do.. It's not like many other islands where they are easily available. I know there are scooters from the seaport, but not sure who rents them.. Have found 2 places for you to try out, but can't recommend either and have no idea what kind of "right" rate you might be looking for, or will get..

Caribbean Scooters
Tel (246) 436 8522
Fax (246) 436 0600

Please let them know you saw them on the Shoestring Barbados site. go to the Shoestring site and click on the link to e-mail.. http://www.shoestringbarbados.com/main_transport.htm

another option

Bump's Scooter Rentals
57 Circular Drive
Sunset Heights
Maynards
St Peter
Tel: (246) 439-2914 / 231-5512 / 262-0670

Again, please note I don't really recommend a scooter rental in Barbados. Traffic is tight and so are the roads in many areas.. soo..

I’m not sure but I think both companies mentioned above stopped renting scooters.
I would recommend a Minimoke (open car) or a Soft top Jeep.
