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.
