Top 5 best motorcycle rentals in Vic

Vic doesn't feel like a place you pass through — it feels like a place you ride out from. Park your bike on the arcaded Plaça Major de Vic, grab a coffee among the market stalls, and within twenty minutes you can be climbing toward Tavertet with the Sau reservoir opening up beneath you, the drowned bell tower of Sant Romà de Sau breaking the water's surface like something out of a story. This is Osona: a landscape built for two wheels, not four.

What makes this region so well suited to a motorcycle rental in Vic is the terrain itself. Collsacabra and the Pyrenees foothills are stitched together by tight, winding back roads that reward a bike far more than a car ever could — you'll find a parking spot right on the cobbles of Rupit's medieval square, thread corners a coach could never take, and cover several villages in a single afternoon. Distances are short, twenty to sixty minutes apart, so a day or weekend rental easily strings together reservoirs, cliffs, and stone villages without ever feeling rushed.

Top 10 things to see in Vic by motorcycle

1. Pantà de Sau — the reservoir where the submerged bell tower of Sant Romà de Sau pokes above the water, one of the most photographed sights in Osona, especially when levels run low.
2. Rupit i Pruit — a medieval stone village clinging to a cliff, reached along a winding road through Collsacabra that's become a classic riding destination.
3. Tavertet — a clifftop village with a dramatic viewpoint over the Sau reservoir and the Collsacabra escarpment.
4. Plaça Major de Vic — the arcaded main square of the old town, the natural place to start or end a ride, ringed by cafés and the weekly market.
5. Temple Romà de Vic — a well-preserved Roman temple in the old town, worth a quick stop before heading out.
6. Monestir de Santa Maria de Ripoll — a Romanesque monastery with a celebrated carved portal, about 40 minutes north on twisty Pyrenees foothill roads.
7. Sant Joan de les Abadesses — a riverside monastery town further into the Ripollès valley, a good waypoint on a longer Pyrenees loop.
8. Collsacabra — the massif between Vic and the Garrotxa, prized by riders for its winding mountain roads, cliffs, and beech forests.
9. Parc Natural del Montseny — a UNESCO biosphere reserve of forested switchbacks, a favourite weekend ride from Vic.
10. Roda de Ter — a small town on the river Ter with old bridges and mills, an easy short ride along the valley.

What do you need to rent a motorcycle in Vic?

For anything up to 125cc you'll need an A1 licence; larger machines require an A2 or full A licence depending on power output and your age. If you're travelling from outside the EU, bring an International Driving Permit alongside your home licence, since rental desks commonly ask for it. Most operators set their own minimum age, usually 18 or 21, and will block a deposit on a credit card in the renter's name before handing over the keys.

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

A standard scooter or 125cc bike runs from around 25 EUR a day in low season, rising to roughly 35-55 EUR during the summer. Larger-cc or touring bikes, better suited to a full Collsacabra-to-Pyrenees loop, cost more, typically 50-90 EUR a day.

• Prices climb steadily from spring, peaking in July and August.
• They ease off again once the summer crowds thin out.
• November through February, outside the Christmas period, is when rates are lowest.

When to book a rental motorcycle in Vic?

July and August are the busiest and priciest months, so book ahead if you're planning a summer ride through Collsacabra. Low season runs from November to March, when prices drop and availability is easier to come by. If you want the best of both — good weather and calmer roads — May, June, September and October are the sweet spot.

Local traffic rules in Vic

Spain drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for both rider and passenger at all times, and motorcycles must run with dipped headlights day and night. Speed limits top out at 90 km/h on the roads you'll actually be riding around Vic, dropping to 50 km/h in built-up areas and lower still on single-lane urban streets. The blood alcohol limit is 0.5 g/l, tightened to 0.3 g/l if you've held your licence less than two years.
