Buy one and put a for sale sign on it the day you drive it away.I'd like to rent a scooter for three months while on the island next January. Anyone have a suggestion on facility and or pricing options?
TIA,
Thanks! I just survived a BMW GS1250 hitting most of the Italian passes, so your right, I'll probably kill myself on a scooterFollowing -- I'm jealous, and hope to do a long-term stay at some point also. Hoping this thread stays constructive, rather than "don't do it, you'll die instantly!!!"
I have had good experiences with short term scooter and car rentals at both Rentadora Isis and HTL Rentals. Both were Honda Dio scooters, and the HTL scooters were actually in newer condition than the Isis ones I have seen/rented. Both were about $20 a day for short-term rental, which is good for short-term but not 3 months! Both have been good to deal with, no bogus charges attempted. Of course, I video all rentals during the rental process too.
It would be worth checking with HTL and Isis to see what long-term rates they might offer -- everything is negotiable!
I thought you were asking about an underwater scooter, didn't realize you wanted a 2-wheel version.For those suggesting to buy one and sell it -- I know that someone on just a tourist visa cannot title a motor vehicle. Wouldn't driving it without a plate for 3 months get you ticketed? And yes, I know some locals might do that, but I'm wondering if Gringos can get away with it.
