Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a licence to ride a quad in Spain?
Yes, if the quad is road legal and the tour uses public roads, which is the standard in Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Mallorca. A category B car driver licence is sufficient for most quads and buggies up to 500cc. No international permit is needed for EU citizens. Non EU visitors should bring a home country licence plus an International Driving Permit to avoid any issue.
What is the minimum age for quad tours in Spain?
Solo driving requires 18 and a valid licence. Can-Am Maverick high power buggies require 21. Tandem passengers are typically welcome from 6 or 7 years old when a parent is at the wheel. Some operators in Tenerife have junior quad pistes for supervised children from 10, but these are separate products and not main tours.
How much does a quad or buggy tour in Spain cost?
Shared 2 to 3 hour tours in the Canary Islands run 45 to 90 EUR per person. A half day buggy with two seats is 120 to 220 EUR per buggy. Full day Tenerife tours to Teide with lunch are 150 to 220 EUR per person. Mallorca is slightly cheaper, 40 to 75 EUR for 2 hour loops. Private tours add around 25 to 40 percent.
What is the best season for ATV in Spain?
Canary Islands run year round with a sweet spot from March to June and September to November. Mallorca is April to October, best in May, June, September. Mainland Pyrenees tours are summer only, mid June to mid September. Avoid Easter week and the first week of January if you want availability.
Can I rent a quad without a guide in the Canary Islands?
Yes, pure self drive rental exists on some operators, particularly in Tenerife and Mallorca, but most tours run guided with a lead rider. Self drive without guide is limited to experienced riders with a proven motorbike or off road background, and comes with a larger deposit and stricter insurance.
Are the tours road legal in Spain?
Yes. Most Canary Islands and Mallorca operators use road legal quads and buggies registered for public road use, with number plates and MOT. This allows the tour to move between off road sectors via public mountain roads. Riders wear helmets at all times, including on road sections, which is a Spanish traffic code requirement.
