- Scooters: A standard driver’s licence category B (car licence) or AM/A1 is often sufficient for smaller scooters. These categories cover lower-powered motorbikes commonly used for city commuting and short-distance travel.
- Larger Motorbikes: If you plan to rent a larger and more powerful motorbike, you will likely need a higher licence category. In many cases, category A2 or category A will be required. Category A2 covers medium-sized motorbikes, while Category A includes full-sized and high-powered motorbikes.
It’s essential to check the specific requirements of the rental company you intend to use, as they may have different policies regarding licence categories. Additionally, the motorbike rental company’s website or reservation page should provide clear information on the minimum licence category needed to rent each type they offer.
