Long Term Moped/Scooter Rental Alicante
Im moving to spain for around 5-6 months in a months time. I was thinking of buying a cheap car to get me by but from what i read its pretty complicated with tax and insurance for someone that's just basically a tourist so ideally i would rather hire a scooter/moped, i believe if you have an international license the hire company take care of all that and that would be ideal.
From what ive seen there looking for silly rental prices for mopeds, some are more expensive for cars and looks like they are aimed at the tourist who will rent for 1-2 days.
Is there anywhere in Alicante that will rent out mopeds for around 200 a month, i also looked at car rental and although the prices for March are reasonable as it gets into peak season they get very expensive.
Im planning on staying somewhere reasonably central in Alicante rather than on the outskirts so maybe if none of the above works out ill just use public transport but i like to be able to drive into town for a few groceries without having to walk for 10 mins, wait for a bus and repeat on the way back.
I would happily buy a cheap scooter if i didnt have to organize insurance and tax plus i dont want to get stuck with something that lasts a week and dies
Ive searched a ton of posts on this and nobody seems to have gotten an answer or suggests good companies to visit so im guessing not many people use scooters there and just use cars.
