Latest on minicars. Appears they will be available at hotels.

Those look cool - thanks for posting

Interesting, we may consider this when we do another land based trip to Bermuda. If course we have really enjoyed most of the taxi drivers we have encountered because they were so helpful.

are these safer than scooter rentals

are these safer than scooter rentals

Safer because they have 4 wheels instead of 2 but you're still driving on the other side of the road that we are accustomed to. If you haven't seen one, here's a photo:

They're not yet available for rent. The company renting the vehicles hasn't received its license from the government. They're hoping to be licensed in the next week.

Looks like it will be scooters again this year for us. Was kind of hoping to have the opportunity to try those minicars for our trip in July. Limited availability+ high season= scooter again.

We have driven on different continents with different types of vehicles and in all possible driving conditions. Don't want to start a debate because I know from reading numerous comments on cc and Bermuda newspapers that allowing tourists to drive is a hot button subject.

And we let anyone drive here up north in winter when some tourists have never seen snow. No car crash epidemics reported. Or maybe not enough tourists?

It's late, I'm being sarcastic. Just would enjoy visiting Bermuda driving around with my husband instead of behind him on a different scooter (we've also done same scooter). Will not do taxis again (last time taxi rate for a short ride was more than the scooter rental for 3 days and the loud gospel music+ singing gave my husband hives for the rest of the day). Buses: not enough flexibility.

Please no flaming about safety. DH has extensive motorcycle experience (driving, fixing, rebuilding). I know we don't control other drivers.

Maybe I will get to try that cute pink car in 2018. Now how to get my DH to sit in a pink car....

But I digress.

If anyone knows if we can rent a minicar this year, let me know. Preferably not pink. Just in case.

No matter what we will be in Bermuda in July on the Breakaway.

Right now, you would have to be a guest at a hotel that offers them.
