Rent a Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Hire Scooters in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

If you want to be independent in Las Palmas on Gran Canaria, but you don't plan too long tours with a lot of baggage, then a scooter is perfect for exploring the city and driving to the nearest beach. With a scooter you can be flexible on this Canary Island in the capital Las Palmas. Since the roads are mostly congested by many cars, you can drive faster with a manoeuvrable little scooter. You can find offers for scooters in the price comparison and you can hire them directly at the local scooter rental company and receive them directly in Las Palmas.

Do I have to pay a deposit for the scooter in Las Palmas?

Yes, when hiring a scooter in Las Palmas, a deposit must normally always be paid. This is a certain amount of money determined by the scooter rental company, which must be deposited by you only for the duration of the rental period. For example, you usually pay the deposit with your credit card at the pick-up station when you pick up the scooter, which you could hire cheaply from your local scooter rental company via the Internet. As soon as you return the bicycle to the pick-up station after the agreed rental period, the full amount will be refunded to you. For example, the deposit is a security for the local rental company, which will make your scooter available to you for a certain period of time.

Scooter Rental Las Palmas - the additional driver option

If you are not travelling alone on holiday, then you should always conclude and hire the option of an additional driver in the contract for the scooter, which was found to be cheap in the price comparison. This way you can give the handlebars out of your own hands and you don't have to drive the whole holiday from Las Palmas to the Playa itself. However, it is important for the insurance company that the clause "additional driver" has been included, so that you are also on the safe side here if you have not driven yourself and an accident occurs. If no additional driver has been entered, but you have not driven yourself, the insurance company will not pay for any damage that may have occurred.

When can a one-way rental make sense?

For many rental vehicles we also offer one-way rentals for many rental companies. This is a contract that you can use, for example, for a trip where you can pick up the scooter at a pick-up station and return it to another location later on. In Gran Canaria, for example, you may want to pick up the scooter directly at the location of your accommodation in Las Palmas, but you may want to keep it until departure at the airport and return it to the pick-up station there. Then you can book the one-way hire that makes this possible.

Hire a Scooter in Las Palmas - the optimal insurance

If you have found a scooter from a local scooter rental company, which you could hire at a reasonable price, then you should also take out an appropriate insurance policy so that you will not incur any further costs. For this reason, we recommend taking out comprehensive insurance without excess, which may seem a little more expensive at the time of purchase, but in the end it can be cheaper for you if you have suffered damage to the vehicle. This is because it can quickly lead to a scratch or even greater damage if the parked scooter has fallen over or a small accident has occurred for whatever reason. This means that you are always on the safe side with comprehensive insurance without excess. Therefore, you should take out this insurance at the same time as you hire on the Internet.

Observe traffic rules with the scooter

• Helmet requirements apply in Gran Canaria
• No alcohol on the handlebars
• Minimum age for rentals is usually between 18 and 21 years.
• Obligation to carry a driving licence
• By scooter from Las Palmas to the beach

If you have booked accommodation directly in the capital Las Palmas of Gran Canaria, you can hire a scooter from a local scooter rental company. You can find and hire this cheaply before your holiday on the internet. This is because many bikes are available for hire from local scooter rental companies, especially in southern European holiday destinations. With this scooter you can then, if you wish, drive daily from your holiday home to one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, the Playa de las Canteras, which is only 1.6 km away from the capital.

Discover the cultural center of Gran Canaria by scooter

Las Palmas has a lot to discover and not only the Playa invites you to relax. There are also numerous concerts, exhibitions and festivals, all of which you can discover and visit with a scooter from a scooter rental company. In addition, there are the many museums such as the Museo Néstor, the archaeological museum Canario or the scientific museum Elder as well as the Centre for Modern Art.
