Scooter Rentals in Benidorm, Spain from €5/day - Book Online

Picture swapping the crowded pavements of Playa de Levante for the open road, wind in your face, the whole Costa Blanca within reach. A scooter turns Benidorm from a strip of high-rises into a launchpad: you can be parked at Playa de Poniente for sunset one evening and climbing the switchbacks toward Guadalest the next morning, no bus timetable dictating your day. Locals ride this coast for a reason — it's simply the fastest way to see all of it.

Benidorm's centre is easy enough on foot, but that's not where a scooter earns its keep. The real value is in what lies just outside town: the coastal climb north to Altea, the inland run up to Guadalest, and the hillier approach south toward Finestrat. These routes are slow and awkward by bus, but quick and genuinely scenic on two wheels. Parking is also far simpler on a scooter than hunting for a space in the tightly packed tourist zone near the beaches.

Top 10 things to see in Benidorm by scooter

1. Playa de Levante — Benidorm's main high-rise beach strip, an easy short ride from most rental shops and hotels.
2. Playa de Poniente — the quieter, wider beach on the west side, ideal for a coastal cruise at sunset.
3. Balcón del Mediterráneo — an iconic clifftop viewpoint in the old town looking out over both beaches and the sea.
4. Isla de Benidorm — the boat-trip island visible from the coast road; riding the seafront to the departure point is a classic Benidorm loop.
5. Sierra Helada Natural Park — a coastal cliffside park just north of town with hiking trails and dramatic sea views.
6. Cala de Finestrat — a small cove beach south of Benidorm, a short scenic ride past Terra Mítica.
7. Puerto de Benidorm — the old fishing harbour at the foot of the old town, a good stop for coffee and boat-watching.
8. Terra Mítica — a major theme park just outside Benidorm and a popular day-trip destination.
9. Castell de Guadalest — a famous clifftop village about 25 km inland, reached by a classic scenic mountain road.
10. Altea old town — a whitewashed hillside town with a blue-domed church, a short coastal ride north of Benidorm.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Benidorm?

For mopeds up to 50cc, an AM licence is enough (minimum age 15 in Spain), and a full car licence also covers you. For 125cc scooters you'll need an A1 licence, or a car licence held for at least three years — though that route only works for EU licence holders, so most non-EU visitors will need a proper motorcycle licence instead. If your licence isn't from the EU, bring an International Driving Permit along with it, since rental desks commonly ask for one. Expect a deposit blocked on a credit card in your name, and most companies set their own minimum age, often 18 or 21 depending on the vehicle.

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

Prices swing a lot with the season. In low season you can find a scooter from around 5–10 EUR per day, while high season runs 15–25 EUR per day, and premium models go for 25–35 EUR per day.

• Cheapest months: November, December, January, February.
• Priciest months: July and August, when demand peaks.

When to book a rental scooter in Benidorm?

High season on Spain's mainland runs through July and August, plus Easter week — book ahead if you're travelling then, since availability tightens along with prices. Low season stretches from November to March, when both scooters and rates are easier to come by. If you want good weather without the crowds or the peak-season markup, May–June and September–October hit the sweet spot for riding around Benidorm.
