Alicante Motorcycle Rentals from €25/day

Alicante rewards anyone willing to ride rather than walk. Climb the winding road up to the Castillo de Santa Bárbara and the whole bay opens up beneath you, or head north along the coast to the rocky coves of Cabo de las Huertas before the tourist buses even wake up. This is a city built for two wheels — and once you've felt the Mediterranean breeze on the ride up to the castle, going back to walking feels like a downgrade.

The old town's narrow lanes and the packed seafront promenade make parking a motorcycle far easier than wrestling a car through them, while the Costa Blanca's coastline and inland sierras sit within easy day-trip range. A scooter is all you need for hopping between the beach and the city centre; if you want to reach the mountain villages, a bigger bike opens up routes that a car simply can't enjoy the same way.

What do you need to rent a motorcycle in Alicante?

For a moped up to 50cc, an AM licence covers you from age 15, and a full category B car licence also works. For a 125cc scooter you'll need an A1 licence, since the Spanish B-based entitlement for 125cc only applies to residents. Bigger bikes need the matching A1, A2 or A category. If your licence isn't from the EU or EEA, bring an International Driving Permit along with your home licence — most rental desks will ask for it. Expect a deposit blocked on your credit card, and many operators set their own minimum age, often 18 or 21 depending on the vehicle.

How much does it cost to rent a motorcycle in Alicante?

Average prices run 20-30 EUR per day in low season and 35-55 EUR per day in high season, with premium and larger-displacement models from 60-90+ EUR per day.

• Cheapest: November to February.
• Priciest: July and August, when demand peaks along the whole Costa Blanca.

When to book a rental motorcycle in Alicante?

High season runs through July and August, plus Easter week, so book a few weeks ahead if you're travelling then. Low season stretches from November to March, when prices drop and availability is easy to find last-minute. If you want the best riding weather without the crowds or the peak prices, May-June and September-October are the sweet spot.

Local traffic rules in Alicante

Spain drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for riders and passengers on mopeds and motorcycles, on every road, at all times. Speed limits are 50 km/h in built-up areas (dropping to 30 km/h on single-lane urban roads), 90 km/h on conventional roads and 120 km/h on motorways — mopeds are capped at 45 km/h and can't use motorways at all. Motorcycles and mopeds must run with dipped headlights day and night, and the blood alcohol limit is 0.5 g/l, lower for newly licensed riders. Handheld phones and headphones are off-limits while riding.
