Sal Island: Scooter Rental with Surfboard Rack & Insurance

Summary

Sal Island scooter rental for beaches surf spots & hidden corners

You’ll zip around Sal Island by scooter, feeling the ocean breeze and stopping wherever catches your eye — whether that’s a hidden beach or a café full of locals. With off-road tires, helmet, surfboard rack, and insurance included, you can focus on exploring instead of logistics. It’s freedom with just enough backup to make you relax into the ride.

What’s the experience like?

We were already laughing before we even picked up the keys — there’s something about seeing a row of shiny scooters in the Sal Island sun that makes you feel like a kid again. The guy at the rental place (I think his name was Paulo?) handed us helmets and checked if we wanted the surfboard rack attached. I’d never tried strapping a board to a scooter before, but Paulo just grinned and showed me how — he made it look easy, even though my hands were kind of shaky from excitement or maybe too much coffee.

The first thing I noticed once we took off was the smell — salty air mixed with something sweet from a bakery nearby. The roads here are pretty chill; sometimes you’ll get a little bump or patch of sand, but those off-road tires really do their job. We stopped at this little cove where some local kids were kicking around a ball. One of them waved at us like he saw tourists on scooters every day (maybe he does). My partner tried to ask for directions in Portuguese, but mostly got smiles and hand gestures — honestly, it worked out fine.

I didn’t expect how freeing it would feel to just pull over wherever looked interesting. At one point we found this tiny café with faded blue chairs — I still think about that espresso and how the owner’s dog kept sniffing our helmets. Having insurance included meant I wasn’t stressing about every scratch or pebble, which was good because I’m not exactly Valentino Rossi on two wheels. Oh, and if you’re traveling with kids or anyone who needs extra support, they had prams and even infant seats ready to go. Never thought about that before but now I notice these things.
