Is renting a Tuk Tuk from "TukTuk Rental" legit?
I see a lot of YouTubers renting their own tuk-tuks from a company called TukTuk Rental. Is this legal, safe, and fully insured?

Yes! I used them for 3 weeks. They are 100% legit. They sort out the local driving license endorsement for you before you arrive, provide comprehensive insurance, and give you a driving lesson. Best experience of my life.
The ethical sourcing part is awesome. I am booking with them today. Thanks!
What I loved is that TukTuk Rental actually sources their vehicles from local families to give them a secondary income, rather than owning a massive corporate fleet. Great ethical business.
It is legal, but be aware that driving a tuk-tuk is exhausting. They are manual transmission, top speed is about 40km/h, and you will be inhaling bus exhaust all day. It is an adventure, but not a luxury holiday.
