Which licence do I need?

The requirements below are the main Motoround eligibility rules. Final approval depends on the actual licence presented and the selected vehicle.

ATV / Quad

Category B Full car driving licence
  • Minimum driver age: 25 years
  • Category B held for at least 3 years

  • Minimum age: 21 years
  • Motorcycle licence held for at least 2 years

  • Minimum age generally 21 years
  • Motorcycle licence held for at least 2 years

IMPORTANT

Check your restriction codes

A motorcycle category may appear on your licence but still contain a restriction that does not allow you to rent a normal two-wheel motorcycle or scooter. Motoround cannot accept the following restriction codes for the relevant motorcycle categories:

79.03 79(3) 79.04 79(4) 79(2) >45 km/h restriction
INTERNATIONAL VISITORS

International Driving Permit

IMPORTANT RULE

An IDP is not a driving licence by itself

If an International Driving Permit is required for your licence, you must carry it together with your original valid national driving licence.

The IDP must show the appropriate vehicle category for the vehicle you wish to rent.

NOT SURE IF YOU NEED ONE?

Let us check before your arrival

Requirements can depend on the country that issued your licence and the vehicle category.

Send us a photo of your licence before booking and we will confirm whether an International Driving Permit is required.
