It’s not just about checking off the popular tourist spots but finding your own adventure in this beautiful island destination. With a scooter, you’re not bound by schedules, tours, or transportation limits — you’re in charge of your own exploration.

The experience is perfect for those who want the independence to explore Zanzibar at their own pace, while also soaking in the vibrant local culture, stunning landscapes, and serene coastlines that make Zanzibar so unforgettable.

tenga en cuenta

Here’s some important information to consider:

Valid Driver’s License: Ensure you have a valid driver’s license, ideally an international permit, and a motorcycle endorsement if required. Some agencies may ask for a specific motorcycle license for scooters above 50cc.
Age Requirements: Most agencies require you to be at least 18 or 21 years old to rent a scooter. Younger drivers may face additional charges or restrictions.
Insurance: Review the insurance coverage included in your rental. Consider whether you need additional coverage for accidents, theft, or damages, and understand any deductibles or exclusions.
Rental Duration and Costs: Clarify the duration of your rental and the total cost, including any additional fees for things like extra accessories, fuel, or late returns.
Local Traffic Rules: Familiarize yourself with local traffic laws and road conditions. In Zanzibar, driving is on the left side of the road, and roads can be uneven or less developed in rural areas.
Helmets and Safety Gear: Confirm if helmets and other safety equipment are included. If not, consider bringing your own or renting additional gear for comfort and protection.
Scooter Condition: Inspect the scooter before renting it. Check for any existing damage and take photos to avoid being held responsible for it later.
Fuel Responsibility: Be prepared to refuel the scooter yourself. Check how much fuel is in the tank at pickup and plan refueling stops during your trip.
Security and Parking: Ensure you have a plan for safely parking and securing your scooter when not in use, especially in tourist areas where theft can occur.
Weather Considerations: Zanzibar’s tropical climate means it can rain unexpectedly. Be prepared for sudden weather changes, and make sure the scooter has good tires for wet conditions.
