The driving license requirements for travelers wishing to book a scooter or a motorbike with us are listed below.
Please note that these requirements are based on Greek laws, not the laws of your home country!
The age requirement is determined by the insurance companies. Insurers differentiate between private use and commercial use for rentals in their insurance policies.
Kindly be aware that drivers who arrive on the rental date with the incorrect driving license category will not receive a refund for the 20% prepayment of the total rental cost.
Driving Licenses NOT accepted: Provisional, Learner & expired licenses.
Due to the abundance of misinformation online and from some scooter and motorcycle rental companies, we have included the following information. Some travelers mistakenly believe that holding a B car driving license for six years allows them to drive 125cc scooters. This is incorrect, except for those with a Greek car driving license (category B) that includes code number 121. This is the only way to legally drive a 125cc scooter in Greece with a car driving license. To qualify, the Greek car driving license must explicitly display code 121 on the data file label number 12, which indicates specific restrictions.
