Getting around Lloret de Mar: 6 real options 2026
Getting around Lloret de Mar: on foot, scooter hire, taxi, tourist bus, car and bike. Pros, cons, real prices and when each one is the right pick.
Lloret de Mar has a tricky geography for visitors: a relatively small town centre next to a long beach, but coves, gardens and points of interest spread across the whole municipality (Sa Boadella to the south, Fenals to the west, Cala Banys to the north, Santa Cristina further out). If you’re staying central and only want beach and seafront walks, you walk all day. If you want to see the area properly, you need wheels.
This guide covers the six real ways to get around Lloret, with typical prices, pros and cons, and a recommendation by trip type.
If you’re still deciding what to visit, have a look first at the complete guide to what to do in Lloret de Mar.
1. On foot (the honest option for the centre)
The tourist core of Lloret is comfortable on foot. From the main beach to Castell d’en Plaja is 10 minutes’ walk. To the Santa Clotilde Gardens, 25–30 minutes along the coastal seafront (part on stairs). The Camí de Ronda towards Tossa is also on foot.
When to pick it: central accommodation + beach plan + short walks + dinner. If your only plan is the beach in the morning and a beach bar in the afternoon, you don’t need a vehicle.
Cost: 0 €.
Limitation: for Fenals, Sa Boadella or Santa Cristina, walking gets very long (45–60 minutes each way). And at night in winter, some stretches are dark.
2. Scooter or moped hire
The best freedom-to-price option for 2–4 days. It lets you hop between coves (Sa Boadella, Fenals, Treumal), head out to Tossa or Blanes, and park easily where cars can’t.
Typical models at local hire shops:
- 50 cc scooter — Category B licence not always required (AM licence or B with any age works in many cases), top speed 45 km/h. For town and short hops. Price from 8–15 €/h, full day 25–40 €.
- 125 cc scooter — requires Category B (held 3+ years) or A1. Up to 90–100 km/h, allows minor roads. Price from 12–20 €/h, full day 40–55 €.
- 250–300 cc motorbike — rarer in tourist hire. For longer trips (Begur, Cap de Creus). Full day 60–80 €.
Real operators in central Lloret / harbour:
- Coast Rent — from 8 €/h, scooters and motorbikes, central location. The best-known and the most recommendable if you’re going to hire a scooter in Lloret de Mar by the hour or half day.
- Aleks Rent — long-established Lloret operator, also bikes and e-scooters.
- Eco Rent Lloret — mixed fleet with emphasis on electric.
- Riderly — international P2P marketplace, variable prices and less consistent service.
- Mopeds to Rent SL — established operator with several locations.
Documents: ID/passport + valid driving licence + credit card for the deposit (typically 100–300 € held).

3. Bicycle or e-scooter
Useful for short flat distances, not for heading to Tossa along the coast (constant up and down). Lloret isn’t a notably cyclist-friendly destination but the town centre and the Fenals area are comfortable by bike.
- E-bike: from 15–20 €/half day, 25–35 €/day.
- E-scooter: 10–15 €/half day.
- Road bike or MTB: more specialised hire (some shops in Tossa or Blanes cover this better).
When to pick it: short trips without big climbs, eco plan, you don’t want a driving licence requirement.
4. Taxi
Lloret has a central taxi rank (next to the town hall) and a reasonable service in peak season. Typical prices:
| Route | Approx. price |
|---|---|
| Centre → Fenals | 7–10 € |
| Centre → Santa Cristina | 10–15 € |
| Centre → Tossa de Mar | 25–35 € |
| Centre → Blanes | 20–30 € |
| Centre → Girona Airport | 70–90 € |
| Centre → Barcelona Airport | 110–150 € |
To book ahead: local rank + apps like MyTaxi/FreeNow in the Girona area.
When to pick it: one-off trips, bad weather, late return after dinner, airport runs.
5. Tourist bus and regular line
Lloret has two relevant bus services:
- Lloret Tours tourist bus — sightseeing circuit with stops at Castell d’en Plaja, Santa Clotilde, Cala Banys, Sa Boadella. 24-hour fare around 12–15 €. Runs in peak season.
- Sarfa/Moventis lines (now Sagalés and similar) — regular bus Lloret–Tossa, Lloret–Blanes, Lloret–Barcelona Airport, Lloret–Girona. Prices from 3–5 € for short trips.
When to pick it: one specific day you want to hit all the tourist spots without walking between them, or get to and from the airport without a car.
6. Hire car
Not the most comfortable option for moving around Lloret town itself (parking in the centre is expensive and scarce in summer). But if you’re basing yourself in Lloret to visit Begur, Cadaqués, Girona or the Empordà, a car is the best tool.
- Big chains (Avis, Europcar, Sixt) with offices at Girona/Barcelona Airport or in central Lloret
- Budget options like Goldcar, Centauro (better price, watch the additional insurance)
- Local operator in Lloret/Blanes
Typical cost: 25–40 €/day for a small car in shoulder season, 50–80 €/day in August. Parking in central Lloret: 1.50–2.50 €/h, day 18–25 €.
When to pick it: 5+ day stay with plans outside Lloret, family with luggage and kids, itinerant Costa Brava route.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence to hire a scooter? For 50 cc, an AM licence (from 15) or Category B with any age works. For 125 cc you need Category B held at least 3 years, or A1.
Are there Uber/Cabify in Lloret? Not reliably. FreeNow works for booking, but the local taxis are the main option.
Is it safe to ride a scooter in Lloret? Yes in the town and tourist routes. On the N-II (faster road to Tossa) take care: heavy traffic in summer, bends with limited visibility. Legal speed, helmet always (compulsory).
Can you get to Barcelona from Lloret without a car? Yes. Direct Sarfa/Moventis bus Lloret–Barcelona Estación del Norte: 1 h 30 to 2 h, around 12–15 €. Reasonable frequency in season.
Do the coves have public car access? Mostly yes, with their own or nearby parking. Some (the naturist Sa Boadella, Treumal) have small car parks that fill up fast.
In short
Lloret is a town where the most efficient combination is walking inside + scooter or motorbike outside. The centre you cover on foot; the coves, neighbouring towns and coastal routes justify a scooter or hire car. If you’re around a few days and only want beach, don’t invest in a vehicle. If you want to really see the southern Costa Brava, two days with a scooter change the trip.
