Scooter hire in Lloret de Mar: complete 2026 guide
Honest guide to scooter and moped hire in Lloret de Mar: prices from 8 €/hour, real operators, what licence you need, insurance and riding tips.
Hiring a scooter or moped in Lloret is the best way to move around freely between coves and nearby trips — no dependence on the tourist bus, no car-park fees, and no 45-minute walks to Fenals. The town has plenty of operators and competitive prices. This guide covers what you need to know before booking: what licence you need, what the price includes, what it actually costs, and which operators work best for which kind of use.
If you’re still weighing up scooter vs bike vs car, have a look at the full comparison of how to get around Lloret de Mar.
What licence do you need?
The key call when picking the bike is what type your current licence lets you hire:
| Licence | What you can hire |
|---|---|
| AM (moped, from 15) | 50 cc scooter |
| A1 (from 16) | Up to 125 cc |
| Category B, under 3 years held | 50 cc only |
| Category B, 3+ years held | Up to 125 cc (no extra course needed) |
| A2 (from 18) | Up to 35 kW |
| A (from 20–24) | Any motorcycle |
The most common case: visitors with a long-held Category B (car) licence. They can hire a 125 cc scooter without any motorcycle-specific qualification. It’s what most adult visitors on a few-day trip in Lloret end up doing.
UK drivers note: post-Brexit, a UK driving licence is still valid for hiring vehicles in Spain — no International Driving Permit (IDP) needed. Bring the physical licence (not a photocopy or phone photo). The “3+ years held” rule applies the same way; if you passed your test before 2023, you’re set for 125 cc.
What it costs to hire a scooter in Lloret
Prices for the 2026 season vary by engine size, duration and operator. These are the real ranges in central Lloret:
| Format | 50 cc scooter | 125 cc scooter |
|---|---|---|
| 1 hour | 8–12 € | 12–18 € |
| 4 hours (half day) | 20–30 € | 30–45 € |
| 8 hours (full day) | 25–40 € | 40–55 € |
| 24 hours | 30–45 € | 45–65 € |
| Week (7 days) | 150–220 € | 220–320 € |
What’s usually included:
- Basic third-party insurance
- Helmet (size available on pick-up)
- A lock and/or integrated helmet lock
- Maintenance
What’s almost never included:
- Fuel (empty or full tank depending on the operator; most common: collect full, return full)
- Comprehensive insurance (typical add-on 8–15 €/day)
- Deposit (held on card: 100–300 €, released on return)
- Damage or loss to the bike (read the small print)
The main operators in Lloret
Several operators run in the centre and harbour area, with different profiles. An honest view of the most relevant:
Coast Rent
One of the most popular options in central Lloret, with hires from 8 €/hour and a varied fleet (50/125 cc scooters + small motorcycles + bikes). The model is clear: fixed pricing, no surprises on collection, multilingual service.
It’s a good fit for anyone who wants hourly flexibility (no commitment to a full day) and for anyone after competitive pricing with local-shop service. Set up for visitors who turn up in Lloret and plan as they go.
Coast Rent sits in a central spot and lets you book online ahead or walk in directly during shoulder season.
Other operators in Lloret
- Aleks Rent — long-established operator with the same range of scooters, plus bikes and e-scooters. Similar prices.
- Eco Rent Lloret — fleet weighted toward electric vehicles (e-scooters, pedal-assist bikes). A good shout if you’d rather skip the petrol and the noise.
- Riderly — international P2P marketplace. Prices can be lower in promotions but service quality varies by individual owner.
- Mopeds to Rent SL — solid TripAdvisor presence, several locations in Lloret.
Practical advice: in July–August, book at least 3–4 days ahead. 125 cc models sell out fast. Out of season you can walk in on the day.
Documents you’ll need
To hire a scooter or moped at any operator in Lloret they’ll ask for:
- Valid ID card or passport (the original, not a photo)
- Valid driving licence (the original — not a copy or phone photo)
- Credit card in the rider’s name (for the held deposit; debit cards sometimes won’t do)
- Minimum age: 18 at most operators, 21 for 125 cc at some
Non-EU/EEA licences: if your licence isn’t from the EU/EEA, you may be asked for an IDP as well. UK, Swiss, Norwegian and Andorran licences are accepted directly.
Kit and safety
Helmet compulsory always (any engine size, passenger included). Fine for riding without a helmet: 200 €. Operators provide a helmet, but it tends to be basic — if you have your own, bring it.
Recommended minimum kit beyond the helmet for anything outside the town:
- Closed-toe shoes (no flip-flops, regardless of the heat)
- Long trousers on open road (road rash in shorts is no joke)
- Sunglasses or a visored helmet (insects come out at dusk)
- If you’re parking for a few hours: an extra lock or a supervised car park
Parking a scooter in Lloret
Much easier than with a car. There are scooter-only zones across the centre, free or very low cost. The coves have separate parking. The seafront promenade lets you park a scooter in the designated zone at no charge.
Watch for:
- Parking on pavements (fine)
- Parking in loading bays (fine)
- Leaving the helmet hooked on the handlebars (it can be stolen — use the integrated helmet lock)
Fuel and petrol stations
Lloret has 3–4 petrol stations in or near the centre (Repsol, Cepsa). For a 50 cc scooter, a full tank (6–7 litres) runs to about 10–12 € and gets you through a full day. For a 125 cc, an 8–10 L tank costs 14–18 € and lasts 200+ km.
If you collect with a full tank, return it full: if you bring it back half-empty, the operator charges the refill with a service mark-up.

Practical tips most operators won’t volunteer
1. Check the bike before you ride. Brakes, lights, indicators, front tyre (no soft tyre). If anything looks off, don’t ride until they fix it or swap the bike. If you ride out with a known issue and come back with a problem, fault gets split.
2. Photograph the existing scratches. Before you go, take detailed photos of the bike from several angles. Saves arguments about “pre-existing” damage on return.
3. The N-II in July–August is heavy. The Lloret-Blanes stretch on the N-II carries serious tourist traffic in summer. If you can use the minor coast road instead, you’ll have a better ride.
4. The Garbí blows along the coast in the afternoon. Exposed coastal roads catch a side wind from mid-afternoon. Ride with margin.
5. Rain → don’t hire that day. The shop may or may not cancel for weather, but riding a scooter in the rain with damp tourists on the back (where brakes lose bite) is a risk worth skipping.
Frequently asked questions
Can I take a passenger? Yes, as long as the insurance and the model allow it. Confirm at booking. Helmet compulsory for the passenger too.
What if I drop the bike? Depends on the insurance you took. With basic cover, typical excess is 300–600 €. With comprehensive, it usually drops to 0–150 €. Read the contract and ask what the top-up insurance costs.
Can I take the bike to other towns? Yes, as long as you stay within the contract area (typically southern Costa Brava + upper Maresme). For Barcelona or Cap de Creus, confirm beforehand that insurance covers it.
Can I cancel the booking with no fee? Depends on the operator. The bigger ones usually allow free cancellation up to 24–48 h before. Check the policy before paying online.
Is there overnight pickup? Yes, several operators let you collect the bike the next morning. Convenient if your flight lands late.
In short
Hiring a scooter in Lloret is one of the decisions that most changes a trip if you want to get out of the town centre. For short hops at the cheapest price, a 50 cc scooter. For Tossa or the Begur coves without stress, 125 cc on a long-held Category B licence. And if you sort the booking ahead in summer, you’ll find competitive prices at local operators with proper service.
