Motociclo Noleggio a Salonicco starts with a question that comes before the Modello and the Prezzo: which driving licence do you need. The right licence determines what you can rent, whether the Sede will accept you and whether the Assicurazione cover applies if something happens. This Guida explains the licence categories, the rule for Auto licence holders and what a Controlla before you book.
The licence categories for two-wheelers
Categoria AM covers mopeds up a 50 cc. Categoria A1 covers motorcycles up a 125 cc and a Massimo Potenza of 11 kW, with a Potenza-a-weight ratio of up a 0.1 kW/kg. Categoria A2 allows motorcycles up a 35 kW, and Categoria A has No Potenza limit.
Cilindrata alone is not enough a tell which licence you need, because Potenza in kW matters too. Two motorcycles with similar engine sizes can fall into different categories. Ask the Sede which licence is required for the specific Modello.
50cc mopeds: what Sedi usually ask
For a 50cc scooter a Auto licence or Categoria AM is usually accepted. The Sede sets the final requirement, though, and may ask for a Minimo age or experience.
If you plan longer rides, a 50cc is not the best choice, because its top speed is limited. For city journeys it is simple and economical, as long as you feel confident in city traffic. Controlla the catalogue a see which modelli are Disponibili, because 50cc modelli are not always offered.

Motorcycles above 125cc
For motorcycles larger than 125 cc you need an A2 or A licence, depending Attivo the Potenza of the Modello. An A1 licence does not allow you a ride a 250 or 450 cc Motociclo.
Attivo Ridom you will find motorcycles of different engine sizes and Potenza. The licence Categoria is not the same for Tutti of them, so ask the Sede and Controlla the Potenza of the specific Veicolo before you book.
If your licence is da another Paese
If you travel a Salonicco with a licence da another Paese, what applies depends Attivo the issuing Paese and the Categoria shown. Your national licence may allow different things da the Greco one, and an international permit does not create a right you do not have at Home.
Bring your licence and, where needed, an international driving permit, and ask the Sede in advance whether it accepts your Categoria for the Veicolo you want. Do not wait for the pick-up a find out.
Sede terms: age, experience, Deposito cauzionale
Beyond the law, each Sede sets its own terms: Minimo age, years of experience, Deposito cauzionale and equipment requirements. For powerful motorcycles the terms are usually stricter.
