BEFORE YOU BOOK
Rider requirements
Revura rents to experienced riders only. This page sets out exactly what that means, and it keeps three different kinds of rule apart: what the law requires, what an insurer requires, and what Revura requires.
To rent from Revura you need recent, genuine riding experience, a valid driving licence from home covering motorcycles or scooters, a local temporary licence where the law requires one, photo identification, and you must pass a short practical control check at handover. Revura’s minimum renter age is [minimum age].
Three different kinds of rule
Rental companies often blur these together, which leaves the visitor unable to tell what is law and what is house policy. Revura keeps them labelled throughout this page.
Legal requirements
Set by St. Kitts and Nevis law and enforced by the authorities. Neither Revura nor you can waive them.
Insurer requirements
Conditions attached to the cover on the scooter. Breaking one can remove cover even where nothing illegal has happened.
Revura operating rules
Our own rules. They are stricter than the law in places, on purpose, and we apply them consistently.
Legal requirements
| Valid home licence | accepted licence classes |
| Local temporary licence | temporary licence requirement |
| International driving permit | IDP position |
| Engine-size rules | engine-size rules |
| Legal minimum age | legal minimum age |
| Helmet law | helmet law |
| Alcohol limit | alcohol limit |
Insurer requirements
These are conditions attached to the cover on the scooter, not laws and not Revura preferences. Breaking one can leave you personally exposed even if you have broken no law.
The brief bars describing the rental as “fully insured” without the precise coverage and approved wording, so this page will state exactly what is covered and exactly what is not, or it will say nothing. Rider age bands, experience minimums and passenger conditions imposed by the insurer belong here once confirmed.
Revura operating rules
These are ours. They are not the law, and we do not present them as the law. They exist because a small fleet, a visiting rider and an unfamiliar island is a combination that rewards being careful.
Experienced riders only
You need real riding experience on a scooter or motorcycle, and it needs to be recent. Specifically:
- Minimum riding experience: [years of experience]
- Most recent ride: [recency requirement]
- You must pass the practical control check at handover
- Learning to ride during the rental is not permitted, and a rental is not a lesson
Age
- Revura minimum renter age: [minimum age]
- Maximum renter age, if any: [maximum age]
This is a Revura rule and may differ from the legal minimum age above.
Weight and passengers
- Maximum rider weight: [maximum rider weight]
- Combined rider and passenger weight limit: [combined weight limit]
- Passengers: [passenger policy]
- Passenger minimum age: [passenger minimum age]
Documents to bring
- Your driving licence from home
- Photo identification
- Your temporary local licence, where required
- A payment method for the balance and the security deposit
- Cruise visitors: your ship card and all-aboard time
- [additional documents]
Security deposit
[deposit amount], taken at pickup and released after the return inspection. Full detail on the prices page and in the rental terms.

When we refuse a rental
Saying this plainly in advance is fairer than saying it at the pickup point. If any of these apply, please do not book.
We will not hand over the scooter if
- You have not ridden a scooter or motorcycle before, or not recently
- You cannot complete the practical control check
- Your licence does not cover you, or the temporary licence has not been obtained where it is required
- You are under the minimum age, or over any applicable maximum
- You appear to have been drinking, or are otherwise unfit to ride
- The combined weight exceeds the limit
- The rider at pickup is not the rider named on the booking
- Conditions at the time make riding clearly unsafe
- [other refusal grounds]
What happens if we refuse
A refused rental is a bad outcome for both of us, and the honest fix is to catch it at booking rather than at handover. That is why the qualification questions are asked up front.
If you are not sure whether you qualify, ask before you pay. It takes a couple of messages.
