Bikes & motorbikes in Grenada 2026

Daily rental rates in Grenada vary widely depending on the vehicle type and rental duration. A standard 50-125cc scooter usually costs less per day than a larger motorbike, but opting for an e-bike adds another price tier. Weekly or monthly rentals often come with discounts between 30% and 50%, making longer hires more economical. Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is commonly included or offered as an add-on, with an excess amount held as a deposit on your credit card, typically several hundred dollars. Local rental shops tend to be cheaper but may lack the reliability and insurance coverage of international chains, which charge more but provide clearer terms and better support.

In Grenada, a standard car driving licence usually covers scooters up to 125cc, but riding larger motorbikes requires a specific motorbike licence. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended for tourists, especially if your licence is not in English. The minimum age to rent is generally 21, though some shops require 25. Helmets are mandatory by law, and you must drive on the left side of the road. Renting without the proper licence can void your insurance, leaving you liable for damages if stopped by police. Many shops don’t check licences thoroughly, but insurers do, creating a hidden risk.

Before taking off, document the scooter’s condition thoroughly: record a video from every angle and note every scratch on the rental form. Test brakes, tyres, and lights to avoid disputes later. Never leave your passport as a deposit; use a credit card instead. Riding in Grenada’s mountainous interior is challenging, especially in wet weather, and city traffic can be chaotic. In these conditions, public transport or taxis can be safer and less stressful options for getting around.

When comparing quotes, check what’s included: helmets, insurance coverage, and mileage limits. Beware of prices listed as “from” that don’t reveal mandatory extras. Avoid rentals with no physical address or those pressuring you to pay cash upfront.
