Bermuda Scooter and Moped Rentals

Bermuda moped and scooter rentals

Well, if you are comfortable with a scooter or a moped, this will give you all the freedom and flexibility in this island. You won't have to wait for the crowded buses.

Since you can’t rent a car here, Bermuda moped rentals can be a great mobility option. However, Bermuda roads are quite narrow and winding, and at times can be quite steep. So you need to be careful.

If you are not used to British way of left hand drive, better watch out. The right side is the wrong side. The left side is the right side.

A typical Bermuda Scooter

Speed limit is 35km (23 miles) per hour, but locals tend to ignore this. You will also find that hooting horns is quite common in Bermuda which may sometime distract you.

Visitors do not require driving license to rent a scooter in Bermuda. However by local law, a minimum age of 18 is required and this may be verified by the rental shop.

Some Great Scooter Rides in Bermuda

Well if you finally decide to rent a scooter in Bermuda, here are my suggestions for some great rides. We do it almost every time we are in the island.

Route#1

If you like to explore Bermuda's village or rural areas which are fast disappearing in the island, start from the Friendship Vale Park at Devonshire Parish. This is a small lovely park on a hill side and located at the junction between Parson's Road and Palmetto Road. From the park, go down Parson's Road towards south. You will get a junction, veer right towards Orange Valley Road. We love this ride and greatly enjoy the country lanes with lovely cottages, farms, byways and after all Bermuda's unique rural life.

Route#2

Take South Road and go west towards Sandy's parish across Somerset Island, over Watford Bridge and all the way to Royal Naval Dockyard. Go through the gates of the Dockyard and past the boatyard and all the way around the Maritime Museum. It's a great ride.

Visitors' Reviews and Comments

Diane

Great Site! My daughter and I will be visiting Bermuda via a cruise ship Oct. 24 & 25. While reading through many of your informative pages, we have decided to take the Jessie James Cruise snorkel that Monday afternoon. You also made the scooters sound like fun so we'd like to rent a scooter on Tuesday to see the island/beaches, but have to be back to the ship by 4:30! Does that sound doable? May be we should rent the scooter BOTH days? How long is the scooter ride from King's Wharf to Hamilton?

Raj

Hi Diane, That sounds perfectly doable. On day-1, if you plan to go only for the Jessie James Snorkeling Cruise, the direct ferry from the dockyard to Hamilton would be the easiest. It takes only 20 minutes to reach. The snorkel tour boat PISCES leaves from there. However check out the ferry schedule to know the timings.

Bus ride from Kings Wharf to Hamilton takes about an hour. So the scooter ride should take shorter time, may be around 45 minutes or so. Pick up the 'Handy Reference Map' from the Visitors Information Center at the Kings Wharf Dockyard. That'll help you navigate through the island. Have a great time in Bermuda!
