Motorcycle Rentals in Barcelona
If you search for motorcycle rentals in Barcelona or motorbike hire in Barcelona, you’ll find many results for scooter rentals or aggregator sites that don’t actually offer motorcycle rentals. To help you find the best motorcycle rental agencies for your needs, here are the top providers in Barcelona, whether you're planning a tour of the region or starting a larger journey across Spain.
Motorcycle Rental Companies with Multiple Locations
These companies are known as motorcycle tour companies that offer guided and self-guided tours in Spain and other countries in Europe, but you can also just rent bikes from them. Naturally, a majority of their fleet will be adventure bikes. These companies aren’t the cheapest option, but they are solid companies and well rated.
You should consider these companies if:
Barcelona is your starting off point as part of a larger tour. If your drop off point will be different from your pick up point.

Barcelona Moto Rent
If you do a quick Google Map search for motorcycle rental in Barcelona, you’re sure to get Barcelona Moto Rent as the top result. And while they have a varied offering and on par with IMTBike as the most economical solution, you are required to download their app to make a booking which I find highly irritating when companies require you to download their app. And the user experience of their website isn’t very good, it mainly acts as a vessel to get you to download their app.
