Step 1

Check you have the right licence

Before booking, make sure your driving licence covers the bikes in our fleet. In Spain, the requirements are as follows:

A2 Licence Covers motorcycles up to 35kW (48bhp). Access to models including the Scrambler 400X and Tiger Sport 660. Minimum 2 years riding experience required.

Full A Licence Unrestricted access to the full fleet. Required for the Tiger 900, Tiger 1200, Scrambler 1200 XE and Tiger Sport 850.

If your licence was issued outside the European Union, you will also need an International Driving Permit. If you are unsure whether your licence is valid for a specific model, contact us before booking — we confirm within minutes.

Step 2

Choose the right bike for your route

Not every motorcycle suits every trip. Furthermore, choosing well from the start avoids surprises on the road. Here is our selection guide by route type:

Long routes (5+ days) Tiger 900 GT Pro or Tiger 1200 GT Pro. Integrated luggage, ergonomic position, large tank. Ideal for Portugal or Morocco on-road.	Mountain and mixed routes Tiger 900 Rally Pro or Tiger 1200 Rally Pro. Reinforced suspension, mixed tyres. Perfect for Ronda, Sierra Nevada or the Alpujarras.
Short routes and city riding Tiger Sport 660 or Tiger Sport 850. Agile, comfortable and easy to handle. The most accessible option for riders who haven’t been on a bike recently.	Style and secondary roads Scrambler 400X or Scrambler 1200 XE. For riders who want to enjoy the scenery at their own pace, on a bike that looks as good as it rides.

If you are unsure which model to choose, get in touch before booking. With your route and experience level, we will recommend the right bike within 24 hours.

Step 5

Pick up the bike and ride

The bike leaves ready to go: cases fitted, tank full, paperwork in order. If you have added a GPS, it will be configured with points of interest for your route. If you need any last-minute road recommendations, the team provides them on the spot.

Throughout the hire you have access to 24-hour roadside support. If a mechanical issue, breakdown or accident occurs, call the support number and we manage the situation wherever you are — at no additional cost within the insurance terms.

“Cannot recommend the team at Triumph Adventure Spain highly enough. The standard of facilities and customer care is 10/10. The bike handover was impeccable and the on-road support genuinely reassuring.”

— Stuart Wilson, rental client
