Motorcycle Rentals on Lanzarote island, Spain

Picture the LZ-67 unwinding through the black lava fields of Timanfaya National Park, or the road dropping into the Haría valley, palm trees on both sides and barely another engine in earshot. This is Lanzarote on two wheels: sun on your shoulders, the Atlantic flashing into view around every bend, and a motorcycle that lets you stop wherever the island tells you to. You can rent a motorcycle in Arrecife on our website and be at Mirador del Río, staring across the strait to La Graciosa, inside the hour.

Lanzarote is small — about 60km tip to tip — and its roads are smooth, well signed and rarely congested once you clear Arrecife and Puerto del Carmen. That combination suits a scooter or motorcycle better than a car: the twisty stretches through Haría and the volcanic run through Timanfaya reward you for riding rather than driving, and parking at a clifftop mirador or a tiny fishing village is effortless on two wheels. Add dry, mild weather almost all year, and it's an easy island for riders at any level to enjoy.

Top 10 things to see in Arrecife by motorcycle

1. Timanfaya National Park (Parque Nacional de Timanfaya) — the island's volcanic centerpiece, with the LZ-67 winding through raw lava fields and the geothermal stops at Islote de Hilario.
2. Mirador del Río — a César Manrique viewpoint cut into the cliffs at the island's northern tip, looking over La Graciosa and the El Río strait.
3. Jameos del Agua — a volcanic cave reimagined as an art space near Órzola, a classic stop on the north-coast route.
4. Cueva de los Verdes — the neighbouring lava-tube cave system, easy to pair with Jameos del Agua on the same ride.
5. Playa de Famara — a long, dramatic beach under towering cliffs, popular with surfers and reached along the scenic LZ-1 and LZ-402.
6. Mirador de Haría / the Haría valley road — a twisting mountain route through the "valley of a thousand palms," a favourite among local riders.
7. La Geria wine region — volcanic vineyards where each vine grows in its own pit behind a dry-stone semicircle.
8. Los Hervideros — volcanic sea cliffs and blowholes near Yaiza, worth a short detour on the southwest coast.
9. El Golfo — a green lagoon set against black volcanic sand, just along the coast from Los Hervideros.
10. Playa Papagayo — sheltered coves near Playa Blanca at the island's southern tip, at the end of a scenic coastal track.

What do you need to rent a motorcycle in Arrecife?

For anything up to 125cc you'll need an A1 licence (from 16); larger machines require an A2 or full A licence depending on power and age. Non-EU visitors should carry an International Driving Permit alongside their home licence, since rental desks generally ask for one. Most operators set their own minimum age, often 18 or 21, and take a deposit blocked on a credit card in your name.

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

Expect around 20-25 EUR per day for a 125cc scooter or entry-level bike in low season, rising to 35-50 EUR in high season. Larger touring or sport motorcycles run 50-80+ EUR per day, especially in peak weeks.

• Prices climb in December-January and July-August, the island's busiest weeks.
• May-June and October-November tend to be the cheapest months to book.

When to book a rental motorcycle in Arrecife?

Unlike mainland Spain, Lanzarote and the rest of the Canary Islands run busy through the northern winter, so December and January count as high season alongside July and August. If you'd rather ride with fewer crowds and lower prices, aim for May-June or October-November, and book a little ahead either way to lock in the better rate.
