Motorrijwiel Verhuur in Thessaloniki starts with a question that comes before the Model and the Prijs: which driving licence do you need. The right licence determines what you can rent, whether the Vestiging will accept you and whether the Verzekering cover applies if something happens. This Handleiding explains the licence categories, the rule for Auto licence holders and what tot Controleren before you book.
The licence categories for two-wheelers
Categorie AM covers mopeds up tot 50 cc. Categorie A1 covers motorcycles up tot 125 cc and a Maximum Vermogen of 11 kW, with a Vermogen-tot-weight ratio of up tot 0.1 kW/kg. Categorie A2 allows motorcycles up tot 35 kW, and Categorie A has Nee Vermogen limit.
Cilinderinhoud alone is not enough tot tell which licence you need, because Vermogen in kW matters too. Two motorcycles with similar engine sizes can fall into different categories. Ask the Vestiging which licence is required for the specific Model.
50cc mopeds: what Vestigingen usually ask
For a 50cc scooter a Auto licence or Categorie AM is usually accepted. The Vestiging sets the final requirement, though, and may ask for a Minimum 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. Controleren the catalogue tot see which modellen are Beschikbaar, because 50cc modellen are not always offered.
With a Auto licence: the rule for 125cc
Law 4784/2021 (article 23, which amended article 94 of the Highway Rubriek) allowed Auto licence holders tot ride two-wheelers up tot 125 cc without Nieuw exams. As described in the relevant guides, the rider must have Voltooid their 27th Jaar, hold a Categorie B licence for at least six years and attend five uren of lessons at a driving school.
When the conditions are met, Rubriek 121 is Toegevoegd tot the licence. A Kaart-Type licence is required, because the Rubriek cannot be Toegevoegd tot the old paper ones. Confirm the current wording and the procedure Aan gov.gr or at the transport department of your Gebied before relying Aan it.
Motorcycles above 125cc
For motorcycles larger than 125 cc you need an A2 or A licence, depending Aan the Vermogen of the Model. An A1 licence does not allow you tot ride a 250 or 450 cc Motorrijwiel.
Aan Ridom you will find motorcycles of different engine sizes and Vermogen. The licence Categorie is not the same for Alle of them, so ask the Vestiging and Controleren the Vermogen of the specific Voertuig before you book.
If your licence is vanaf another Land
If you travel tot Thessaloniki with a licence vanaf another Land, what applies depends Aan the issuing Land and the Categorie shown. Your national licence may allow different things vanaf the Grieks 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 Vestiging in advance whether it accepts your Categorie for the Voertuig you want. Do not wait for the pick-up tot find out.
Vestiging terms: age, experience, Borg
Beyond the law, each Vestiging sets its own terms: Minimum age, years of experience, Borg and equipment requirements. For powerful motorcycles the terms are usually stricter.
Riding without the right licence can mean the Verzekering does not cover damage and liability, and then the Kosten falls Aan you. That is why the cheapest option is not always the best Waarde.
How tot Controleren before you book
Look at the Voertuig Pagina and the Vestiging terms Aan Ridom. Note which licence is mentioned and ask the Vestiging if you have any doubt. Photograph your licence so you have the Details Beschikbaar when they are needed.
If you do not meet the conditions for the Motorrijwiel you want, choose a smaller Voertuig you are allowed tot ride or try another Categorie, such as a Auto. It is better tot find out before the holiday and not Ter plaatse counter.
