Important Tips for Renting and Driving
Choosing the Right Vehicle
ATVs/Quads: Highly recommended for really rocky areas like San Ramón Waterfall or 1/3 of the Concepción side road.
Scooters: Ideal for smoother routes.
Driving Conditions
The roads on the Maderas side of the island are generally paved and suitable for scooters.
On the Concepción side, between Altagracia and Moyogalpa, expect rocky and uneven roads. Driving a scooter here can be risky unless you have experience handling very rocky terrain.
Safety Note: Avoid attempting to drive a scooter to San Ramón Waterfall unless you are highly experienced, as falls and injuries are common on the rocky path.
Renting Essentials
Inspect the vehicle for any pre-existing damage and ensure the brakes and tires are in good condition.
Take photos of your vehicle.
Take a test drive to familiarize yourself with the vehicle.
