Renting a Mini Moke in the BVI

The Mini Moke is an iconic open-air vehicle that has become synonymous with island life in the British Virgin Islands.

Originally designed as a military vehicle in the 1960s, the Mini Moke found its true calling as a fun, practical vehicle for island exploration. Today, renting one is a quintessential BVI experience.

Where to Rent

Mini Mokes are available for rent from several companies in Road Town, Tortola. Most charter companies can arrange a rental for you, or you can book directly with local rental companies. Expect to pay $60–$90 per day.

Driving in the BVI

Remember that the BVI drives on the LEFT side of the road (British territory). The roads in Tortola are narrow and winding, with steep hills. Take it slow, especially on unfamiliar roads.

What to See

With a Mini Moke, you can explore: - Cane Garden Bay: Beautiful beach on the north side of Tortola - Sage Mountain National Park: Highest point in the BVI with stunning views - Smuggler's Cove: Secluded beach on the west end of Tortola - Road Town: The capital, with shops, restaurants, and the ferry terminal

Practical Tips

• Bring sunscreen and a hat — the Moke has no roof
• Bring a light rain jacket — tropical showers are common
• Fill up with gas before heading out — gas stations can be scarce
• Park carefully — the roads are narrow and parking can be challenging
