Considerations Before You Ride in Spain
To hire a scooter or motorcycle in Spain, you need a valid driving licence that covers the type of vehicle you intend to ride. The licence category required can depend on the vehicle’s engine size and power, so don’t assume that a standard car entitlement automatically covers your rental.
Rental companies may also apply their own minimum-age, licence and riding-experience requirements, which can vary according to the vehicle you’re hiring.
Before booking, check that your licence covers your chosen scooter or motorcycle and confirm any additional requirements with the rental company. For the latest information, check the UK Government travel advice for Spain and Spain’s DGT guidance for foreign drivers
If you have a valid UK photocard driving licence, you do not normally need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive in Spain, including the Balearic and Canary Islands.
However, rental companies can have their own requirements, so it’s worth checking the rental terms before you book. Different requirements may also apply to some non-photocard or non-UK licences.
Rules can change, so check the latest UK Government guidance on International Driving Permits before travelling.
An approved helmet is compulsory when riding a scooter, moped or motorcycle in Spain. Current Spanish rules also require motorcycle and moped riders and passengers to wear protective gloves on interurban roads and closed footwear on all roads.
Even where additional protective clothing isn’t specifically required, suitable riding clothing is a sensible precaution, particularly on longer journeys.
What comes with a rental can vary, so check what equipment is included before booking and make sure any helmet supplied fits correctly. For current requirements, check Spain’s DGT motorcycle guidance.
This one is particularly good for Spain. It’s genuinely destination-specific and useful rather than generic filler.
Yes. Age restrictions can apply when hiring a scooter or motorcycle in Spain, but the minimum age varies according to the rental company, vehicle type and licence required.
Rental companies may set higher minimum ages for larger scooters or motorcycles and may also require you to have held the appropriate licence for a minimum period. Insurance terms or excesses can also differ according to the rider.
Before booking, check the age, licence and riding-experience requirements for your chosen vehicle with the rental company.
Here I’d deliberately avoid quoting a specific minimum rental age. That keeps this useful without creating something we’ll forever need to maintain.
Yes. Traffic in Spain drives on the right-hand side of the road, and riders must follow Spanish speed limits, road signs and local traffic regulations.
Helmets are compulsory, and Spain has specific rules covering alcohol, mobile-phone use and safety equipment. If you’re used to riding in the UK, take particular care at junctions and roundabouts until riding on the right feels familiar.
Road rules can change, so check the latest DGT information for foreign drivers before you ride.
Nice and evergreen — we don’t start listing dozens of speed limits, alcohol figures etc.
If you’re planning to take a rental scooter or motorcycle on a ferry — for example between the Balearic Islands — check with your rental company before booking the crossing.
Rental agreements can restrict where a vehicle may be taken, and travelling by ferry without permission could affect your insurance or leave you responsible for recovery costs. If island hopping forms part of your trip, tell the rental company where you plan to travel and ask whether permission is required.
Ferry operators may also have their own requirements for transporting motorcycles and scooters, so check both your rental agreement and the ferry operator’s conditions before travelling.
I really like keeping this one from Greece but making it Spanish. It’s especially relevant because Ibiza and Mallorca are two of our featured destinations.
Scooter and motorcycle rentals in Spain will normally include the legally required level of third-party liability insurance, but the amount and type of additional cover can vary between rental companies and vehicles.
Basic cover may not include damage to the scooter or motorcycle you’re hiring, theft, personal injury or every circumstance in which damage occurs. Additional cover or damage-waiver options may be available.
Before booking, check exactly what insurance is included, together with the excess and any exclusions. It’s also worth checking your travel insurance, as standard policies do not always cover riding hired scooters or motorcycles
