What does it usually cost to rent a bicycle for a day on the island?

A standard bike rental typically falls within a modest price range, depending on where you go on the island and the style of bike you want. In towns like Palma or along the north coast near Alcudia or Pollenca, renting a classic city or mountain bike usually costs around 15 to 25 euros for a full day. For electric bikes, especially popular in hilly regions like the Serra de Tramuntana around Soller or Deia, expect to pay slightly more, often closer to 30 to 40 euros.

If you fancy exploring off the beaten track, many rental shops provide helmets, locks, and even local maps for routes through the Ma-13 or Ma-19 roads, which can really add value. Longer rentals might also attract discounts, so if you plan to cycle across several days—say, from Valldemossa to Cala Mondrago or Es Trenc—it’s worth asking about weekly rates. The TIB bus network also allows you to transport your bike on some routes, making multi-day trips easier to organize.

Keep in mind that while Palma has a limited metro network, cycling is often a quicker and more scenic way to get around or connect to the Soller railway or bus lines. Whether you’re sampling sobrassada in a village or heading to the beach for a swim, renting a reliable bike gives you freedom without the hassle of traffic or parking, letting you soak in the island’s landscapes and local culture at your own pace.
