Definite pros and cons to renting these. I have rented in past trips and very much enjoyed the experience. It was a LOT of fun. There have been plenty of previous posts on the topic. Some bad experiences with road rash, damage to bikes, false accusations of damage etc.. Then there is the insurance issue. You need to fully understand the insurance contract in order to know what risk your assuming. There is likely no physical damage coverage for the bike itself and although it covers injuries and property damage that you cause to 3rd parties, it won't provide you or your passenger with any benefits. Knowing all that I still rented and had a blast.

The goig rate for a scooter is about $30 per day. Your negotiating skills and length of rental might get that down below $25 per day. Maybe.

Good luck and safe riding.
