Rent a scooter in Lloret de Mar with no credit card: how it works (2026)

Book your scooter in Lloret de Mar 100% online with no credit card and no prepayment. Pay at pickup; the deposit (50–300 €) is fully refunded on return.

If you landed here searching "rent scooter no credit card", you have probably already hit the usual wall: websites that demand a credit card in the rider's name just to book, aggregators that charge 100% upfront, and rental counters that block up to 500 € on your card at pickup. At Coast Rent (Lloret de Mar) we do it the other way around: you book 100% online with no card and no upfront payment, and you pay when you collect the vehicle. Full transparency from line one, though: at pickup you do leave a deposit depending on the vehicle (50 to 300 €), refunded in full when you return it. This guide covers exactly what you need, what you do not, and how the whole process works in 2026.

The short answer: yes, you can book without a credit card

To reserve a scooter, motorbike or bicycle on coastrent.es we ask for no payment details at all. You pick a vehicle and dates, fill in your personal details and that is it: you get an email confirmation and sign the contract digitally. Until pickup day you do not pay a single euro.

  • Credit card to book: NOT required
  • Prepayment or booking fee: NONE
  • User account or app: NOT needed
  • Deposit at pickup: YES — 50 to 300 € depending on the vehicle, refunded in full on return

The deposit being on that list is not an oversight: it is exactly the part most rentals hide until the last minute, and we would rather you know it before booking. The exact figure per vehicle is further down.

The problem with most rentals (and with aggregators)

The standard scooter-rental pattern on the Costa Brava goes like this: to book, you must provide a credit card (not debit) in the rider's name, and at pickup a deposit of up to 500 € is blocked on that card. The hold can take days to release depending on your bank. If you travel without a credit card — because you use debit, Revolut, or simply prefer cash — you are locked out.

Online aggregators add another layer: you pay 100% of the rental at booking time, often on a non-refundable rate, to a middleman who does not even own the vehicles. On arrival you discover the local supplier's real conditions: the deposit, the damage excess and the extras are set by them, not by the website you paid.

Tip: before booking with any company, check three things: who charges you, when they charge you, and how much they block as a deposit. Those three numbers are where every surprise hides.

How booking without a card works at Coast Rent, step by step

The whole process takes about 10 minutes and works from your phone, nothing to install:

  1. Choose a vehicle and dates on coastrent.es: you see availability and the total price instantly, no sign-up.
  2. Fill in your personal details (name, email, phone). There is no card field: it simply does not exist on the form.
  3. Receive the email confirmation with your booking summary.
  4. Sign the contract digitally (legally valid eIDAS electronic signature) from your own phone.
  5. On pickup day, pay the rental in store — cash or Visa/Mastercard — and leave the deposit. You are riding within 5 minutes.

Since there is no upfront payment, there is nothing to "claw back" if plans change: you cancel and that is the end of it (exact policy below).

Tip: high season runs from 1 June to 15 September. Booking without a card costs nothing, so lock in your vehicle as soon as you have dates — in July and August the fleet goes fast.

Coast Rent vs typical rental vs aggregator: the comparison

Here is how the process compares with the two usual alternatives:

Booking and payment conditions compared for scooter rental in Lloret de Mar (2026)

Where you payIn store: cash or Visa/MastercardIn store, usually card onlyOnline to the middleman, before your trip

To be fair: "typical rental" and "aggregator" describe the most common industry patterns, not one specific company. There are exceptions — but if you find another rental in Lloret where you can book online with no card and no prepayment, let us know, because as of today we have not found one.

Is there a deposit? Yes — here is how it works (no small print)

Let us be clear: not asking for a card to book does not mean there is no deposit. There is one, as with any vehicle rental, and you leave it when you collect the vehicle in store. The difference is that here you know the exact amount before booking:

Coast Rent prices and deposits per vehicle for 2026. High season: 1 June to 15 September.
VehicleTypePrice/day (standard – high)Deposit
MITT URBAN 125125cc scooter45 € – 55 €120 €
Kymco Sky Town 125125cc scooter50 € – 60 €150 €
Motron X-Nord 125125cc trail motorbike75 € – 85 €150 €
CF Moto 650 MT650cc motorbike105 € – 115 €300 €
BicycleCity bike15 € – 20 €50 €

The deposit is refunded in full when you return the vehicle in the same condition you took it. No "handling" retentions, no multi-day waits like with card holds: you hand the vehicle back, we check it together, and you get your deposit back.

On licences: the 125cc scooters and trail bike can be ridden on a car licence (EU class B held for 3+ years, per Spanish law) or A1/A; the CF Moto 650 MT requires an A2 or A motorcycle licence.

Tip: if you want to confirm how to leave the deposit (cash or card) for your specific case, message us on WhatsApp at +34 614 326 392 before coming and we will settle it in two minutes.

What you need on pickup day

Pickup is at our shop at Rambla de Roma Barnés 16, right in Lloret de Mar. Bring this:

  • Original ID card or passport.
  • Original driving licence: for 125cc, an EU class B licence held for 3 years works (Spanish rule); if your licence is non-EU, you also need an International Driving Permit (IDP).
  • The rental amount: paid in store, in cash or by Visa/Mastercard.
  • The deposit for your vehicle (50–300 € per the table above).

With the contract already signed online, handover takes about 5 minutes: we verify documents, charge the rental, you leave the deposit, and you get helmet and keys. We are open 09:00 to 21:00.

Cancellation: what happens if plans change

  • Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup: 0 €, no questions asked.
  • Cancellation with less than 24 hours: 50% of the rental is charged.
  • Not showing up without notice (no-show): 100% is charged.

And this is where not having prepaid really pays off: if you cancel in time, there is no one to chase for a refund — because you never paid in the first place.

What the price includes (no hidden extras)

  • Certified helmet.
  • Third-party liability insurance.
  • Unlimited mileage — no counters, no per-kilometre surcharges.
  • 24/7 key drop box to return the vehicle outside shop hours.

The key drop box solves the classic last-day problem: if your flight or bus leaves before we open or after we close (shop hours: 09:00–21:00), you return the vehicle, drop the keys in the box and you are done.

Pick a vehicle and dates, fill in your details and get instant confirmation. No card, no prepayment, free cancellation up to 24 h before. Book with no credit card

Do I really never need a credit card?

Not to book: the form has no payment fields at all. At pickup you pay the rental in store (cash or Visa/Mastercard) and leave the deposit, which is refunded in full when you return the vehicle.

Can I pay everything in cash?

Yes. The rental is paid in store when you collect the vehicle, and we accept cash and Visa/Mastercard. There is no online payment at any point.

Can the deposit be left on a card?

The deposit is left at pickup and refunded in full when you return the vehicle in the same condition. To confirm the exact method (cash or card) for your vehicle, ask us on WhatsApp at +34 614 326 392 before coming.

What happens if I do not show up?

A no-show without notice is charged at 100% of the rental. Cancelling more than 24 hours ahead costs nothing, and less than 24 hours costs 50%. Letting us know is always cheaper.

What documents do I need for a 125cc scooter?

ID card or passport plus your original driving licence. In Spain, an EU class B car licence held for 3 years covers 125cc. If your licence is non-EU, you also need an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued in your home country.

Can I return the vehicle outside opening hours?

Yes, we have a 24/7 key drop box. The shop is open 09:00 to 21:00; if you return outside those hours, leave the keys in the box and coordinate the deposit refund with us via WhatsApp.
