Many users who do not feel safe driving a motorbike choose to rent a quad (4-wheeled motorbike). We advise against quads, as they offer a false sense of security that is not real, and the user who is not skilled with a motorbike will not be skilled with a quad either.
In addition, quads are prohibited access to the regulated areas of the Natural Park of Las Salinas de Formentera, because the Council of Formentera considers that it is a type of high-impact vehicle.
If you are not proficient with a motorbike and do not feel safe with it, we recommend that you rent a car.

Yes, the motorbike must be delivered with the tank at the same level as you received it. Remember that you have 2 petrol stations in Formentera.
