Much of the road on Anegada is rough.

REALLY rough.

Besides the cost, scooters leave you with little protection in a collision (albeit quite unlikely in Anegada) or in a spill (actually pretty likely on those roads).

We rented two scooters in Honolulu some years ago. We ended up on the freeway (bad idea) and were carefully making our way back into the city when one of them blew a front tire. We waited for nearly two hours for help.

A flat tire on the back roads of Anegada would be no fun.

I say, go with the jeep.
