Top 5 best scooter rentals on Fuerteventura island

Picture swapping the rental-car queue for open air and a straight coastal road: that's Fuerteventura on two wheels. One morning you're weaving along the edge of the Parque Natural de Corralejo, its Sahara-white dunes rolling right up to the road, and by afternoon you've parked beside the lighthouse at El Cotillo, watching the Atlantic break over black rock. A scooter turns those two moments into one easy day instead of two separate bus trips.

Fuerteventura is built for this kind of riding. It's a quiet island with wide, sun-baked roads and little traffic outside the resort centres, so the 20-60km hops between Corralejo, the capital, and the southern beach towns feel short and relaxed rather than like a slog. The terrain stays flat to gently rolling, the wind keeps things cool even in summer, and parking at a dune, a viewpoint or a beach access track is a non-issue on two wheels when it would mean circling for a car space. If you're planning to rent a scooter in Fuerteventura, this island rewards it more than most.

1. Parque Natural de Corralejo (Dunas de Corralejo) — a vast reserve of white sand dunes right outside town, with an easy scenic coast road running alongside it.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Fuerteventura?

For a 50cc scooter, an AM licence covers you (a full car licence works too), while anything up to 125cc needs an A1 motorcycle licence. If your licence isn't from the EU, bring an International Driving Permit along with it, since rental desks routinely ask for one. Most companies set their own minimum age, typically 18, and will block a deposit on your credit card before handing over the keys.

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

A basic 50cc scooter runs 5-15 EUR per day in low season and 20-35 EUR per day in high season, while larger-engine or premium models go for 30-50 EUR per day.

• Prices climb highest in July-August and again around late December into early January.
• They drop lowest in November-February outside the Christmas and New Year rush, and again in June.

When to book a rental scooter in Fuerteventura?

Unlike mainland Spain, the Canary Islands run rentals year-round, with the northern winter counting as the busy season here rather than the quiet one. Book ahead for July-August and the Christmas/New Year weeks if you want the best choice of scooters at the lower end of that price range; outside those windows, in autumn or spring, you'll usually find better rates and availability with less advance notice.

Local traffic rules in Fuerteventura

Spain drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for both rider and passenger on any moped or scooter, on every road, at all times. Speed limits top out at 50 km/h in built-up areas and drop to 30 km/h on single-lane urban roads, while scooters are capped at 45 km/h and can't use motorways. 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. Ride with dipped headlights on day and night, and leave the phone in your pocket — handheld use while riding is prohibited.
