How much does it usually cost to rent a bicycle on the island?

The scent of pine and salty sea air often accompanies those setting out on two wheels along Mallorca's trails and coastal roads. Renting a bicycle here varies in cost depending largely on the type of bike and rental length. For a simple city bike, common in Palma or Alcudia, a half-day can typically set you back around 15 to 25 euros. More specialized rides—such as mountain bikes suited for the rugged paths around the Serra de Tramuntana or electric bikes that help tackle the Ma-10’s hills—generally cost a bit more, often between 30 and 50 euros for a half-day rental.

If you’re planning to linger and explore spots like Sóller or Deia extensively, weekly rentals offer better value. Standard bikes for a week usually range from 80 to 150 euros, with some shops including helmets, locks, and route maps as part of the package. Electric bikes, a popular choice given the island’s varied terrain, commonly run around 40 to 70 euros for a half-day, easing the effort needed for longer rides up to Formentor or along the Ma-19.

Local rental shops, often found near Palma’s historic centre or tourist hubs like Cala Mondragó, may offer seasonal promotions or group discounts—particularly outside peak summer months. Checking in advance with providers using the TIB bus network’s main routes can help secure the best rates and equipment for your preferred itinerary.
