Top 5 best scooter rentals in Girona

Girona rewards anyone willing to wander off the main square, and a scooter is the easiest way to do it. Cross the Onyar river past the pastel houses that line the water, park a few steps from the Girona Cathedral, then be back on the road in minutes heading out to the Costa Brava. Renting a scooter in Girona means you can start your morning inside the medieval walls and end your afternoon on a cove beach an hour away, without ever hunting for a parking garage.

The old town's lanes are narrow, cobbled and largely closed to cars, which makes a scooter far more practical than a rental car and considerably faster than walking once you want to see anything beyond the Barri Vell. It also solves the region's real challenge: the best parts of Girona province, the walled village of Besalú, the coves around Tossa de Mar, Dalí's castle at Púbol, sit 30 to 50 minutes out, too far to walk and hardly worth renting a car for. A scooter closes that gap and still slips through the old town's tightest streets when you get back.

Top 10 things to see in Girona by scooter

1. Girona Cathedral (Catedral de Santa Maria) — a baroque facade fronting Europe's widest Gothic nave, right in the old town and an easy short ride from any pickup point.
2. Passeig de la Muralla — the medieval city walls ringing the old town, with rooftop and cathedral views once you park and walk a stretch.
3. Barri Vell and the Call Jueu — one of Europe's best-preserved Jewish quarters, its stone lanes made famous by Game of Thrones filming.
4. Pont de les Peixateries Velles — the red iron footbridge from Gustave Eiffel's studio, framing the classic view of Girona's colourful riverside houses.
5. Besalú — a fortified medieval bridge and village about 30 minutes north, a compact and scenic detour.
6. Púbol (Castell Gala Dalí) — the castle Dalí gave to his wife Gala, reached by an easy countryside ride through the Empordà plain.
7. Pals — a restored medieval hilltop village near the Costa Brava, roughly 40 minutes away along a scenic route.
8. Tossa de Mar — the walled Vila Vella perched above a cove beach, a favourite Costa Brava run.
9. Sant Feliu de Guíxols — a coastal town 35–40 minutes out, gateway to the Camí de Ronda footpath.
10. Palamós — a fishing-port town roughly 45 minutes away, with quiet coves nearby.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Girona?

For a moped up to 50cc, an AM licence covers you (a full car licence works too). For a 125cc scooter, you'll need an A1 motorcycle licence — a Spanish car licence only qualifies after three years held locally, so most visitors need the proper motorcycle category. If your licence isn't from the EU, bring an International Driving Permit along with your home licence, since rental desks usually ask for it. Expect a minimum age of 18 or 21 depending on the vehicle, and a deposit blocked on your credit card.

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

Prices in EUR shift a lot with the season:

• Basic scooters start from EUR 5–15 per day during low season.
• High season, June to September, pushes rates to EUR 25–40 per day as coastal demand climbs.
• Higher-cc scooters and motorcycles run EUR 30–50+ per day whenever you book.

When to book a rental scooter in Girona?

High season runs June through September, when the Costa Brava fills up and prices climb toward that EUR 25–40 range — book ahead if you're travelling in summer. Low season, November to March, is where you'll find the cheapest rates, though some shops trim their hours outside peak months. May, June and September strike a good balance: milder crowds, kinder prices, and comfortable riding weather.
