Motorbike rental in Formentera

If you’re looking to rent, the ideal vehicle in Formentera in terms of comfort and price is the motorbike. Since the island is so small and there’s a lot of traffic in summer, getting around on a motorbike or scooter can be a huge relief. One of the main advantages is parking (which is quite tricky, especially in August), and it’s also easier on the wallet because car parking is paid by the hour and scooters park for free.

For those worried about rain, in summer it’s almost non-existent, and if it does rain, it’s usually brief and the sun quickly comes back out.

Cheap scooters in Formentera. What is the cheapest rental company in Formentera?

When booking, you should make sure the prices offered are final (in many cases they don’t include insurance, helmets, etc.). All companies have excess (franchise), the key is that their policies are clear. Another important factor is whether they have multiple pick-up locations — a good price won’t help if you have to pay €18 for a taxi just to collect your scooter.

In conclusion, prices on the island are mostly standardized except for small differences of a few €, so we recommend prioritizing quality over price — in the end, you’ll see that overall costs are pretty similar.

How much does scooter rental cost in Formentera?

Is there a package with full insurance, no excess, and fuel included?

Refueling the scooter at the end of your rental can be a hassle if you’re carrying luggage or in a rush to the port. You might also want to return the scooter outside business hours when fuel levels can’t be checked. If you want to relax and not worry about anything, there is a package available at an extra cost.

It may include: initial fuel (you can return the scooter with an almost empty tank if you prefer), full insurance (no excess to pay in case of damage or theft, unless due to negligence), and out-of-hours return (you leave the key in a drop box).

This package must be requested when signing the rental contract at the office, it cannot be requested in advance as the conditions need to be explained to you in detail. The price is variable.
