Top 5 best quad bike (ATV) rentals in Girona

Girona doesn't announce itself the way Barcelona does — it rewards people who go looking. Rent a quad in Girona and you can trade the postcard shot of the colorful houses along the Onyar for a real morning of exploring: the ramparts of the Passeig de la Muralla first, then out past the last roundabout toward Besalú, where a Romanesque bridge still carries traffic into a medieval old town, or further east to the Costa Brava, where cliff roads drop into coves that cars can't easily reach and quads can. It's the kind of riding where the plan can change after breakfast.

This is quad country almost by design. Girona sits between the Empordà plain, the Garrotxa volcanic hills and a jagged stretch of Mediterranean coastline, and none of it is connected by anything resembling a highway — just narrow secondary roads that reward a vehicle built to handle a change in terrain without a change in plan. A quad also solves the parking problem that dogs every stone-walled village in the region: you pull up near the centre instead of circling for twenty minutes, and you cover in a day what would take three on a bike.

Top 10 things to see in Girona by quad

1. Girona Old Town (Barri Vell) and City Walls — the colorful riverside houses and walkable ancient ramparts, the obvious place to start before heading out of town.
2. Costa Brava coastline near Palamós/Palafrugell — cliff roads and cove access that are awkward for cars but easy on a quad.
3. Platja de Sant Feliu de Guíxols — a lively beach town and a natural half-day ride from the city.
4. Tossa de Mar and the Vila Vella walls — a medieval walled quarter perched right over the sea.
5. Púbol — Dalí Castle (Castell Gala Dalí) — the castle Salvador Dalí gave to his wife Gala, a short hop through the countryside.
6. Empúries archaeological site — Greek and Roman ruins sitting directly on the coast near L'Escala.
7. Besalú medieval bridge and old town — one of Catalonia's best-preserved towns, anchored by a striking stone bridge.
8. La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park — volcanic cones and forest trails inland, a favourite for scenic riding.
9. Peratallada — a stone medieval village tucked into the Baix Empordà countryside.
10. Cap de Creus Natural Park — mainland Spain's easternmost point, with a lighthouse and dramatic rocky coastline for those willing to ride a bit further.

These distances vary — Cap de Creus and Empúries sit further out than the rest — so it's worth picking two or three per day rather than chasing all ten at once.

What do you need to rent a quad bike in Girona?

Rental companies normally ask to see a car driving licence, since road-legal quads are usually rented under that category rather than a separate one. If your licence isn't from the EU or EEA, bring an International Driving Permit along with it — most desks will ask for it. Expect a minimum age around 18–21 depending on the operator, and a deposit blocked on a credit card in your name, with the amount depending on which quad you choose.

How much does it cost to rent a quad bike in Girona?

Prices swing a fair amount with the season. In low season you're looking at roughly 15–25 EUR per day, high season runs closer to 30–50 EUR per day, and premium models can reach 50–80 EUR per day.

• Cheapest around November–February, once the coast quiets down.
• Priciest in July–August, when the Costa Brava is at its busiest.

When to book a rental quad bike in Girona?

If you want the best rates and don't mind cooler weather, aim for the November–February low season. For the classic Costa Brava summer, book ahead for July and August — that's when demand and prices both peak. May–June and September–October hit a sweet spot: warm enough to enjoy the coast, quiet enough to skip the crowds and the highest prices.

Local traffic rules in Girona

Spain drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for every quad rider on every road, and dipped headlights should stay on day and night. Speed limits top out at 90 km/h on conventional roads outside town, dropping to 50 km/h in built-up areas and as low as 20–30 km/h on narrow urban streets — common in the old towns on this list. The blood alcohol limit is 0.5 g/l, tightened to 0.3 g/l for anyone who's held a licence less than two years. Handheld phones and headphones are off-limits while riding.
