Scooter & Bike Rental in Tamraght

English · Français · Deutsch

You can walk around Tamraght, but the beach is further than it looks: from the main road it’s a 10 to 15 minute walk down to Devil’s Rock, and a hill back up, which is a pain with a board under your arm. For everything past that, you want wheels: the six-minute run up to Taghazout for a desk or a wave, the Aourir souk, the day trips. Around here the go-to ride is a 50cc automatic scooter (a moped, if that’s your word for it). I walked everywhere at first, and the hills are great. Then a scooter changed that: you surf at 6 am and you’re at the beach in 5 minutes. That one is priceless. The easy fix is to rent a board at the beach, but the board shops open around 9 or 10 am. If you want to be in the water at dawn, you need your own wheels. That’s how we found our scooter, and why we share it. Below is what renting one in Tamraght costs, shop by shop, and what to do with it once you have it.

The Tamraght rental shops, compared

We looked for a neutral comparison of the Tamraght shops and couldn’t find one, so we made our own. Nobody pays to be listed. But we also arrange scooters ourselves (that’s the first card, and the booking box above), so keep that in mind. Here is what each shop publishes. If a shop doesn’t publish a price, we say so instead of guessing.

Two of the shops want a WhatsApp message before they give you a price, and the small local shops quote you face to face. That’s normal here, and it’s also why walk-up prices jump around so much. If you want a number before you land, ours is the first card, and Surfway and Waves’N Wheels publish theirs. The dedicated shops are all in Tamraght and Taghazout or close enough to deliver there. So the shop itself matters less than the price and the kit you get.

Scooters with surf racks

How to load a board, which spots work and what to check: how to carry a board on a scooter.

Every dedicated shop in Tamraght fits side racks. Makes sense: most of their customers are taking a board to Crocos, Devil’s Rock, Banana Point, or up the coast. The rack is usually part of the price, not an extra. Still, confirm it when you book, and look at the straps before you ride off. Listing platforms like rents.ma also have Agadir-based scooters with racks and free delivery from about 150 MAD a day. The catch: if something breaks, you’re dealing with a stranger in another town.

Licence, insurance, helmets

All the legal detail is in our scooter licence rules in Morocco. For the road itself, see is it safe to ride, and before you take the keys, read the checklist before you ride off.

The shops will tell you that you don’t need a motorcycle licence for a 50cc. That’s true, up to a point. Moroccan law still expects you to have at least a category B (car) or AM (moped) licence to ride any motor vehicle on the road, and anything 125cc or bigger needs a motorbike licence (at least A1). In real life, rental shops rarely ask, and the checkpoints on the coast road wave scooters through. Where it hurts is insurance. If your papers don’t match the law and you crash, you pay.

• Check that third-party insurance is included, and ask what the excess is
• Carry a 1968 International Driving Permit if your licence is not in English, French or Arabic. UK licence holders need one either way. Full rules in our scooter licence guide
• Helmets are required by law and come with most rentals. Wear yours, whatever everyone else is doing
• The N1 through Tamraght has a lot of heavy trucks. Ride carefully, and extra carefully at dusk

Where a scooter takes you from Tamraght

This is why you rent one. Distances from Tamraght:

Taghazout, 4 km, about 6 minutes. The daily commute. Coworking desks, more cafes, and Anchor Point on the big days. A bicycle works for this one too if you don’t mind the hill on the way back. No wheels? Take a seat in a shared taxi, a local bus on the N1, or walk about 50 minutes along the coast.

Aourir and Banana Village, 2 km south. The souk (Wednesdays), the banana stalls, the bigger shops, and Banana Point for longboard days. Some people walk it. With a scooter it’s a quick errand, not a whole outing.

Paradise Valley, about 45 minutes inland. The palm gorge and rock pools everyone goes to for the day, and the ride is half the fun. The road in is paved and winding, and much better on two wheels than in the back of a tour van. Fill the tank before you leave: the round trip from Tamraght uses about a full 50cc tank. On the way up you’ll pass roadside stops selling local honey and argan. Pull over at one for a honey coffee. It’s become the unofficial halfway stop on this ride. Go early, before the vans show up around midday. Of all the half-days a rental scooter gives you, this is the one we’d pick.

Agadir, 12 to 15 km south. Marjane, the marina, the consulates, the airport road. You can do it by scooter, but this is where the truck traffic on the N1 gets heaviest. Lots of long-stayers ride locally and take a taxi into Agadir.

Imsouane, about 78 km north. The famous long right. A 50cc can technically get there, but it’s a long, exposed, windy ride. Most people share a grand taxi or a car for this one and keep the scooter for the home coast.

Boilers and Tamri, 25 to 35 km north, about 30 minutes. This is what a scooter with a rack is for. Far enough to get away from the Taghazout crowd, close enough that a 50cc is the right tool. Boilers breaks over a shallow reef full of urchins, so it’s not a beginner day. Tamri is a few kilometres further up, with beach-break options and far fewer people. Take the coast road north through Taghazout and just keep going. Bus 33 runs the same road if you’d rather not ride.

Scooter vs shared taxi in Tamraght

Shared grand taxis run up and down the N1 all day. Wave one down on the main road and pay per seat: 10 to 30 MAD between Tamraght, Taghazout and Agadir. They get rare around 9 to 10 pm. A private taxi across town costs 50 to 100 MAD.

We did the full math for a week, a month and a weekend in scooter vs taxi vs car hire in Tamraght. Short version: at walk-up rates, 220+ MAD a day, a scooter only beats taxis if you ride most days or surf spots taxis don’t go to. At our rate (10 EUR a day for 7 days or more, 8 EUR a day from 30 days) it pays off much sooner. If you’re staying a month, mostly in Tamraght with the odd trip to Taghazout, shared taxis are still the cheapest way. Dawn patrol is the exception. Before 8 am, taxis are hard to find and the lineup fills up fast. If you surf at first light, that alone makes the scooter worth it.

Fuel and running costs

There’s no petrol station in Tamraght itself. You fill up at the stations on the N1 toward Aourir and Agadir. Fuel is cheap. A full tank on a 150cc is around 60 MAD and lasts us 5 to 7 days of daily riding, two runs a day down to the coast and back up the hill. A 50cc uses even less, so next to the rental price it hardly counts. The one ride where the tank matters is Paradise Valley. Plan on a full tank for the round trip and fill up before you head inland, because there’s nothing on the valley road. Ask your shop where they fill up and whether the tank comes full, since the return deal varies.

Renting a bicycle in Tamraght

People forget about bicycles, and they shouldn’t. Tamraght, Aourir and Banana Point are all within a few flat kilometres. The six-minute scooter run to Taghazout is about 15 minutes by bike: easy going there, a climb coming back.

Rental length	Typical price	Notes
One day, walk-up	€12-15	The tourist rate at the named shops; Surfway lists $12
E-bike, one day	about €30	Berbere Bike & Hike delivers for about €7
A week or longer	from €8 a day	Agreed in person with the shop

The daily rate is what you pay when you just walk in. Commit to a week and it drops to about 8 EUR a day. That’s the biggest saving on wheels in Tamraght, and most people miss it in their first week because nobody advertises it.

Where a bicycle works, and where it does not

• Good: Tamraght to Aourir and the Wednesday souk, Banana Point, Crocos and Devil’s Rock, and errands around Tamraght. Flat or close to it, with not much time on the main road.
• Doable: Taghazout, 4 km. Fine in the morning. The hill back in the afternoon heat is the part people don’t see coming.
• Not on a bicycle: Agadir (lots of trucks on the N1), Paradise Valley (45 minutes inland by scooter, much longer uphill by bike), and Imsouane.

Before you ride off

• Test both brakes. Sand and salt wear them out fast here.
• Make sure you get a lock and that it works. Bikes left unlocked at the beach don’t stay there.
• Check the tyres, and ask for a pump if you’re renting for a week.
• Get lights if you might ride home after sunset. Parts of the N1 have no street lights.

Carrying a surfboard. With a side rack you can take a shortboard or mid-length to Banana Point or Crocos. Ask for one when you book, because not every rental bike has the mounts for it.

Weekly, monthly and high-season rates

October to March is high season on this coast. The shops have small fleets and the scooters with racks go first. So if you land in December and want a rack, book ahead instead of walking in. From April to September you can be pickier and push harder on price.

Tamraght scooter prices vs Bali and Sri Lanka

If you’ve surfed Canggu or Weligama, walk-up prices in Tamraght will look high. Shops here charge 20 to 28 EUR a day for a 50cc. In Bali and Sri Lanka you get a bigger 110 to 125cc for 3 to 8.5 EUR, often with the surf rack included or for about 2 USD a day extra.

Where	Typical day	Typical week
Bali (Canggu, Uluwatu), 110 to 125cc	3 to 5 EUR	15 to 27 EUR
Sri Lanka (Weligama, Mirissa, Hiriketiya), 110 to 125cc	4 to 8.5 EUR	25 to 50 EUR
Tamraght shops, walk-up, mostly 50cc	20 to 28 EUR	from 135 EUR
Tamraght Insider (our offer, we earn a fee)	10 EUR	70 EUR (7 days minimum)

That gap is the reason we started arranging scooters ourselves: rentals of 7 days or more, delivered, no deposit, a lot closer to Bali and Sri Lanka prices. We’re not quite there yet. Prices checked September to October 2026 at about 20,270 IDR and 381 LKR to 1 EUR.

Renting in Taghazout or Agadir instead

Taghazout has more shops and they book out faster in season. Prices are about the same or a bit higher. Agadir-based motorbike and scooter rentals start from about 150 MAD a day, and several deliver to Tamraght for free. A good backup if we’re booked out. Still deciding between Tamraght and Taghazout as a base? That’s a different question: see Tamraght vs Taghazout. Flying in with no wheels yet? See Agadir airport transfers.

Common questions

The shop comparison is independent, and nobody pays to be listed. We do arrange scooter rentals ourselves and earn a fee on those. Tamraght runs on cash and word of mouth, so prices change fast. We use roughly 11 MAD to 1 euro (July 2026) and put a date on everything. Treat every number as a starting point and check it on the ground.
