Rent a motorbike on Tenerife
Tenerife is the most demanding motorcycling island in the Canaries: from sea level to a 2,100 m pass in under two hours. We don’t run our own fleet. We tell you which rental office fits the ride you have in mind.
How we work
From one day
The rental offices we know have no three-day minimum. A single day works too.
Free to ask
The enquiry costs nothing and commits you to nothing. The offer comes by email, usually within a few hours.
Vehicles and prices
Five rental offices on Tenerife. We have prices from four of them; we ask the others for you.
The rental office's price list as of October 2026. Fleets change — whether the model is still there, we confirm with the offer or suggest an alternative. The price in the offer is binding.

Rental offices on Tenerife
The table shows what the rental offices state in their own terms, as of October 2026. What counts is the offer you get before you pay anything. “On request” means the office gives no figure, and we ask for it for your dates.

By pick-up point
South or north
This is the first fork in the road, and it comes before the machine.
The south around Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos and Costa del Silencio is dry and sunny. The TF-51 runs straight from here towards Vilaflor and on to Teide. Most hotels are here, and so are most visitors.
The north around Puerto de la Cruz is greener, twistier and noticeably wetter. Three of the five rental offices are there. If the Anaga cloud forest is what you came for, starting here saves you the long approach. In January it also means more drizzle.
Which machine for this island
Tenerife asks more of an engine than its flatter neighbours. The climb to Teide is roughly 2,000 vertical metres in one go.
- Naked bikes and all-rounders are the sensible choice: light enough for the tight hairpins in Anaga, strong enough for the ramp up to the crater.
- Adventure bikes come second, and first if you ride two-up or carry luggage.
- Supersports look the part and are quick on the TF-21. In Anaga, with its hairpins and patchy surface, you’ll curse one.
- Cruisers work fine in the south but feel heavy on the mountain.
The classes in detail are under vehicle types.
What to settle before you book
Three things decide whether you ride on arrival day or stand at the counter:
- Licence category. A2 or A for most machines, A1 for 125s. Bring the physical licence, not a photo of it. National add-ons for car-licence holders, such as the UK CBT or the German B196 code, count only in the country that issued them. In Spain you would be riding without a valid category and without insurance cover, so we advise against it even where a rental office accepts it.
- A credit card in the rider’s name. The safe choice for the deposit. Debit cards are not accepted everywhere, so ask first.
- Minimum age and riding experience. Not every rental office states a fixed minimum age. According to their terms (as of October 2026), one requires 22, another 25 and five years of category A for its five most powerful machines. We ask for you.
UK photocard licences are accepted in Spain for short visits. Licences issued outside the EU or EEA may require an International Driving Permit — sort that out at home, it can’t be fixed on the island. More in the licence guide, and what deposit and excess actually mean is in the deposit guide.
What sets the five rental offices apart
We don’t rent out anything ourselves. We ask five rental offices, and they differ less in price than in location and fleet.
Two are in the south: one covering Costa Adeje and Costa del Silencio, one in Playa de las Américas. Both are close to the hotels and have the shortest run to the TF-51 towards Teide.
The other three are in Puerto de la Cruz. If you’re staying there or specifically want to ride Anaga, you save yourself the trip across the island, about 90 minutes each way.
Even so, about 60 per cent of all rentals over the years went through the south, because that is where the hotels are.
Deposit, excess and minimum age are set by each rental office, and they change. We ask for them for your dates, and you get them with the offer.
What the daily rate doesn’t include
The daily rate is rarely the final figure. These items turn up regularly:
- Deposit. Blocked on your credit card rather than charged, and released after you return the bike undamaged. Depending on your bank the release takes a few days.
- Excess. The amount you carry yourself in case of damage. It can almost always be reduced for a daily surcharge — whether that’s worth it depends on the machine and the rental office. The orders of magnitude are in what renting really costs.
- Additional rider. Usually costs extra. Three of the four Tenerife rental offices we know hand over a second helmet at no extra charge.
- Delivery to your hotel. Some rental offices bring the bike, some don’t. Always agree this in advance.
- Fuel. Usually full to full. Petrol in the Canaries is markedly cheaper than on the mainland, so this one is in your favour.
One thing that surprises people: the Canaries are outside the EU VAT area. Instead of the Spanish VAT rate of 21 per cent, the much lower IGIC applies here. That’s why prices look better than on the mainland. It’s tax law, not a teaser rate.
And one more: whether you may take the rental bike to another island is up to each rental office. Some allow it, some only with written permission, some not at all. Without permission your insurance cover lapses on the ferry to La Gomera. Ask first, and we clear it up in the offer.
Handover: ten minutes that save you trouble
Take the time before you ride off. Most money is lost not at pick-up but at return.
- Photograph the existing damage. Every scratch, every dent, all the way round, with a timestamp. It’s the single most effective protection against an argument later.
- Look at tyres and brakes. Tread, cracks in the sidewalls, where the brake bites. Rental bikes cover a lot of miles.
- Try the helmet on. If it presses after five minutes it will be worse after five hours. Ask for a different one, that’s completely normal.
- Get the fuel policy in writing. Full to full is usual but not universal.
- Papers stay with the bike. Registration and proof of insurance have to travel with you. The Guardia Civil checks the TF-21 regularly.
Helmets are compulsory in Spain without exception, including on a scooter and including for the two kilometres to the beach. What else differs from home is in the Spanish road rules.
Why a single day is enough
Some providers insist on a three-day minimum. The rental offices we know rent from one day, and that’s the right call more often than people think.
The weather window. It can rain in the north while the south is in full sun. Whoever stays flexible and picks the one good day rides better than someone who committed three days in advance.
Cruise passengers. If you’re in Santa Cruz for a single day you want exactly one ride, not a weekly package. The Anaga loop from the port is ideal. Just tell us how many hours you have when you send your request.
The trial day. Two weeks of holiday but unsure whether a motorcycle is the right thing? Book one day, then decide. Extending on the spot is almost always possible. The other way round, from a few weeks on, long-term rental pays off, because the daily rate drops sharply.
Licence and age
For a motorbike you need A1, A2, A. Each rental office sets its own minimum age, and not all of them state one. We ask for you and give it to you in the offer.
Read the licence guideWhat it really costs
The daily rate is only one of the three amounts you pay. Deposit and excess shift the total considerably.
Understand deposit and insuranceFrequently asked questions
- Can I take the motorcycle to another island?
- Whether you may take the rental bike to another island is up to each rental office: some allow it, some only with written permission, some not at all. Without permission your insurance cover lapses. Ask first, and we clear it up in the offer.
- Can I rent a motorcycle for just one day?
- Yes. The three-day minimums other providers insist on don’t apply at our rental offices. For cruise passengers and for that one good weather window, a single day is the normal case.
- Why is it cheaper than mainland Spain?
- The Canaries are outside the EU VAT area. Instead of 21 per cent Spanish VAT, the much lower IGIC applies. That’s tax law, not a teaser rate.
- How does booking work?
- The enquiry is free and non-binding. We ask the rental office and email you an offer. Down payment to us, the rest you pay on the island to the rental office. The exact amount is in the offer. The price is the same as booking with them directly.
- Which rental office is it?
- You get the name, the address and the phone number with the booking confirmation.
- What does it cost to rent a motorcycle on Tenerife?
- The vehicle list on this page starts at €36 a day for a 125cc motorcycle, €63 for an A2 mid-range machine and €68 for a large one. Deposit and excess shift the total considerably, and we ask for both when we pass on your request.
- Which licence do I need for a motorcycle on Tenerife?
- A1 for 125s, A2 up to 35 kW, A without restriction. UK photocard licences are accepted for short visits; licences from outside the EU or EEA may need an International Driving Permit. National add-ons such as the UK CBT or the German B196 code do not count here.
- South or north: where should I rent?
- South for settled weather and the short run to Teide, where two of the offices sit. North for Anaga and the twistier roads, where the other three sit. If you travel in January and want to avoid rain, rent in the south.
- Is unlimited mileage standard?
- For daily and weekly rentals usually yes. For long-term rates not always, so there it’s worth asking explicitly.
