Moto Hire Spain – BMW rental & tours 

5 fantastic days in Southern Spain on immaculate BMW GS motorcycles – what more could you want from a trip? Here’s why I recommend Moto Hire Spain for bike rental.

As someone who has ridden a wide array of different adventure motorcycles I decided it was time to try the BMW GS. They are a massive love or hate bike, so I knew it was one I needed to get some decent saddle time on it, thus an adventure would be ideal. I found Moto Hire Spain near Malaga and decided to do 5 days around Granada, Zaraha de la Siere and Ronda with a girlfriend.

The Team

Run by English speakers who have lived and experienced Spain for many years, they are a perfectly armed team able to offer their extensive knowledge and services of the beautiful country. We had an easy and friendly welcome at the airport with our transfer and everything was easily explained.  

Bikes 

Moto Hire Spain have a large fleet of BMW motorcycles and offer pure rentals, part guided and full guided tours. We opted for the part tour where Moto Hire Spain provided us with a route plan and pre-booked hotels.   

Bikes wise, in 2023 when I visited, they had: 

• BMW R1250GS ADV 
• BMW R1250GS 
• BMW R1200GS ADV 
• BMW R1200GS Rallye 
• BMW R1200GS 
• BMW 1200R 
• BMW F850GS 
• BMW F750GS 
• BMW F700GS 
• BMW F800R# 
• Triumph Tiger Explorer 800 XC/XR 

 

I was super impressed with the quality and presentation of the bikes. They were immaculate and very well maintained. 

We hired a GS 1250 and F850 GS to do a comparison.

Tours 

Moto Hire Spain will organise as much or as little as you like and even offer fully guided tours. We went for a hybrid option, renting bikes and getting a pre-planned route with hotels prebooked. Given we rode in the heat of July we asked for medium length riding days, ranging from 3-4.5 hours in the saddle. This gave us time to stop at great photo locations, enjoy chilled coffees, have cool down dips in lakes and rivers, and of course enjoy Spanish cuisine for lunch. They can adapt the trips to your needs and know a large array of hotels to provide the best nights possible to explore the Southern cultures of Spain.  

Their tours offer the perfect balance of scenery and riding in Southern Spain. Some of the roads we did were just incredible, from mountains, forests to coastal twisties. Their extensive knowledge provided a brilliant riding experience through some of the best scenery you could imagine whilst on a holiday adventure of a lifetime in Spain.

Location

Moto Hire Spain are located within a 50 minute drive from Malaga airport and offer an airport pick up/drop off transfer service. They collected us in a nice well kept van and it was super easy. The bikes are stored in a large warehouse with a mechanics area where they maintain the fleet in-house, they offer tea and coffees, and have a changing room to get ready for the ride. We were able to leave our suitcase in the corner of the warehouse for the week too, transferring our kit into the GS panniers.
