Motorcycle Rentals on Fuerteventura

Picture the long, wind-carved spine of Fuerteventura opening up ahead of you, tarmac curling toward mountain passes with barely another vehicle in sight. A motorcycle turns this island from a place you pass through into one you actually feel — the sand drifting in from the Parque Natural de Corralejo dunes, the salt spray at the Faro de El Cotillo, the hush of a village square in Betancuria where the only sound is your engine cooling down. This is what makes people **rent a motorcycle in Fuerteventura** rather than book a coach tour: you choose the pace, and the island rewards it.

Fuerteventura is thin and stretched out, strung along one main road, the FV-2/FV-1, that links towns sitting far apart with almost nothing in between. A car struggles to park in the narrow lanes of Betancuria or Pájara, while a motorcycle slips through easily and covers real distance without the hassle. Traffic thins out fast once you leave Corralejo or Costa Calma, the tarmac is generally in good condition, and the island's whole character — dunes, mountain miradores, coastal cliffs — is built for riding slowly and stopping often, not racing from A to B.

Top 10 things to see in Fuerteventura by motorcycle

1. Parque Natural de Corralejo (Dunas de Corralejo) — the island's iconic golden dunes, a short ride from Corralejo with direct beach access.
2. Faro de El Cotillo & Playa del Castillo — a lighthouse, calm lagoons and wild surf beaches on the untamed west coast.
3. Mirador de Morro Velosa — a panoramic viewpoint over the island's central mountains and a favourite biker stop.
4. Betancuria — the former capital, a historic village tucked into the hills, perfect for a classic inland loop.
5. Playa de Cofete & Punta de Jandía — a remote, wild beach reached along a scenic dirt track through Jandía Natural Park.
6. Ajuy cliffs and caves (Los Mirlos) — a black-sand cove with dramatic sea caves carved into the west coast.
7. Mirador Astronómico de Sicasumbre — an elevated lookout over the Jandía peninsula and its coastline.
8. Pájara and its historic church (Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Regla) — a mountain village with an Aztec-influenced facade, worth the detour.
9. La Pared and the Istmo de la Pared — the island's narrow waist, with surf on one side and calmer water on the other.
10. Faro de Punta Jandía — the southernmost lighthouse, an end-of-the-road destination with sweeping ocean views.

Note that the final stretch to Cofete runs on unpaved, rough track, so it suits a proper motorcycle better than a scooter — riders on smaller bikes may want to stop just short and admire the view from there.

What do you need to rent a motorcycle in Fuerteventura?

For bikes up to 125cc you'll need an A1 licence; anything larger requires an A2 or full A category, depending on power output. Most rental companies here set their own minimum age, typically 18 or 21, and will ask that you've held your licence for a minimum period. Visitors travelling on a non-EU licence should bring an International Driving Permit alongside their home licence, since desks commonly ask for it. Expect a deposit blocked on a credit card in your name — the exact amount depends on the model you choose.

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

Our standard listing sits at around 25 EUR per day, comfortably inside the typical low-season range of 20-28 EUR. In high season, daily rates climb to roughly 35-50 EUR, and larger-cc motorcycles or premium scooters over 125cc run higher still, from about 45-70 EUR per day.

• Prices rise around July, August and the Christmas to New Year stretch, when demand peaks.
• November and the January-to-March window, outside holiday weeks, tend to be the cheapest time to book.

When to book a rental motorcycle in Fuerteventura?

Unlike mainland Spain, the Canary Islands run rentals year-round, and the northern winter is actually their busy season — so don't assume January is quiet here the way it is elsewhere. If you're travelling in July, August or over the festive period, book ahead, since prices climb and availability tightens. Aim for November or the early spring months if you'd rather ride the same roads for less.
