    Hi all im just wondering what licence do you need to rent a moped bike or quad over in majorca. I have a provisional bike and car licence and my friend has full car licence but no bike one. Will we be able to rent these. Regards

    Was looking into the same thing myself, some stuff I've been told:

    Mopeds (under 50cc) can be rented legally with a full car drivers license.
    Bigger CC bikes can be rented legally with a full bike license that's been valid for at least two years. (Or one year, depending on who you ask)
    In a lot of touristy areas, you might get away with renting scooters / quads without licenses, but if you were in an accident, there might be insurance / legal issues.

    Edit: To add to the above, it's probably like a lot of tourist spots - the official information is that it's quite strict, but when you get to the place there's a hundred and one little places offering rental of whatever you like, as long as you hand over your passport.

    You need to check your travel insurance. The majority don't cover you if you crash a motorbike and since all are different you need to see what size bike you are covered on. You can purchase extra cover to ride bikes with some companies, but you most definately need to licenced to ride it if you want them to pay out.
