Moke Rentals Anguilla

Rent a classic open-air Moke and explore Anguilla in style — insurance and delivery included.

Moke Rentals Anguilla runs a fleet of completely redesigned open-air Mokes out of Meads Bay, with delivery included in every rate. The Moke is the most recognisable thing on four wheels in the Caribbean, and renting one is a different decision from renting a car. You are not buying transport here. You are buying the drive itself, and it is worth being clear-eyed about what that costs and what it trades away. What you get. Thirteen colours, from White Sand and Aqua Marine through Flamingo, Sorrel and Sea Grape. Waterproof seats, a removable top, a Bluetooth speaker, and a 1L four-cylinder engine. Insurance and delivery are both included on every rate tier, which is genuinely unusual on this island, where insurance is normally a separate daily line that quietly adds up. Transmission is tied to colour rather than chosen freely: most of the fleet is automatic, with manual available on a couple of colours only. What it costs. High season runs November 1 through August 31 at $185 a day, and low season is the narrow September 1 to October 31 window at $140. Note what that means: high season here is ten months of the year, and the discount window is the peak of hurricane season, when a good part of the island is shut anyway. Half-day rentals are $120 high season and $90 low, and they run in fixed four-hour slots, either 8am to noon or 1pm to 5pm, rather than any four hours you like. Thirteen percent GST is added to the final invoice, and to their credit they state that plainly on the rates page, which most operators here do not. The honest comparison. A week in a Moke in high season is $1,295 before tax, about $1,463 with GST. A week in a Toyota Agya from Island Car Rental is $210, about $237 with GST. You are paying roughly $1,200 more for the experience. That is not a criticism, it is just the actual number, and plenty of people decide it is worth it. Plenty of others decide the smarter play is a cheap car for the week and a half-day Moke for the photographs and the coast road, which comes to about $136 with tax and gets you the same memory. What it trades away. No air conditioning, and Anguillian inland roads run away from the sea breeze and get hot. No roof unless you fit the removable one, and Caribbean showers arrive fast and pass fast, which is exactly why the seats are waterproof. No way to lock anything up, which is the one that catches people out. Standard advice here is to lock your car and leave nothing visible on the beach, and in a Moke you simply cannot do that. Plan on taking everything with you every time you park, or leaving valuables at the villa. Booking. Reservations go through the Moke Anguilla site, where you pick your colour, your dates or your four-hour slot, and add a temporary Anguilla driving permit if you need one. The permit is $15 for 72 hours or $25 for three months, which are the standard Inland Revenue fees converted from EC rather than a marked-up convenience charge. The four-hour booking offers the 72-hour permit only.
