Top 5 best scooter rentals in Figueras

Park the car and forget the traffic — Figueres rewards two wheels. Ride into the old town for the Teatre-Museu Dalí, then head out along the winding Cap de Creus roads to Cadaqués, the whitewashed fishing village that captured Dalí's imagination. With a scooter, the whole Empordà region opens up in an afternoon instead of staying stuck on a bus timetable.

Figueres is a scooter town at heart. The historic centre around the Dalí museum is a maze of narrow one-way streets where car parking is scarce and pricey, but a scooter slips through and parks for free. Just beyond town, the roads climb and curve toward the coast and hilltop viewpoints — the kind of scenery that's far more fun on two wheels than behind a windscreen. Most of the Empordà's best stops sit 20 to 45 minutes apart, close enough to string together several in one day without ever needing a car.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Figueres?

For a 50cc moped you need an AM licence (or a full car licence), while a 125cc scooter requires an A1 licence, or a Spanish/EU category B licence held for at least three years — an entitlement that only works inside Spain, so most non-EU visitors will need an actual motorcycle licence instead. Non-EU licence holders should also carry an International Driving Permit alongside their home licence. Rental companies usually set their own minimum age, often 18 or 21, and will block a deposit on a credit card in the renter's name.

How much does it cost to rent a scooter in Figueres?

Average rental prices run from EUR 5–12 per day in low season up to EUR 20–35 per day in high season, with larger or premium 125cc+ models reaching EUR 35–50 per day.

• Cheapest: November to February.
• Priciest: July and August, Costa Brava's peak season.
• Shoulder months (May–June, September–October) sit comfortably in between and offer some of the best riding weather.

When to book a rental scooter in Figueres?

High season runs through July and August, plus Easter week, when scooters are in demand and prices climb — booking a few weeks ahead is wise. Low season stretches from November to March, with quieter roads and the cheapest rates. If you want the best of both worlds, aim for May–June or September–October, when good weather meets lower prices.
