Frequently Asked Questions
Kauai Mopeds, INC has a NO cancellation/NO refund policy!
What is the difference between a moped and a scooter?
Mopeds are 49cc vehicles and one only person is allowed on the moped. You only need a valid driver’s license and be at least 18 years old to operate.
A scooter is classified as a motorcycle and you may seat two people. A motorcycle license is required and you must be at least 21 years old to rent or operate a scooter.
Why do I need a motorcycle license to rent a scooter?
You need a motorcycle license to rent a scooter because it is over 50cc and in the same classifications as motorcycles. You may also carry a passenger on a scooter and flow with traffic on highways/freeways.
How much does a rental cost?
Moped/Scooter rental cost will vary depending on the number of rental days and vehicle chosen. There is also a minimum rental period required for the free delivery and pick up service.
