Does anyone have experience with scooter rentals on the islands? We are thinking specifically of St. Maarten and St. Thomas. DH isn't really keen on group tours.

I have never seen any on St.Thomas but read about Harley rentals on St. Maarten. http://www.h-dstmartin.com/main.htm
I wouldn't rent a car on St.Thomas let alone a scooter. Like many islands, some of the drivers think they are nascar drivers. The roads are narrow with hairpin turns in some places. :eek:

Be sure your medi-vac insurance premiums are paid up. I know of one passenger who had a moped accident and had to be evacuated for medical help. The tab was almost $18,000.
