Can I hire a scooter in Spain on a UK provisional license?
I hold a UK provisional drivers licence.
Will I still be able to hire a scooter in San Antonio, Ibiza?
Best Answer
To drive a vehicle in Spain you need a valid driving license and if your license is not in Spanish or English an international drivers permit. To rent a vehicle you must be allowed to drive it.
A provisional license allows you to learn how to drive under restrictions. For example, you can only drive a car with an instructor next to you and you can not go on motorways. These restrictions show quite clearly this is not a valid drivers license and you can not use it to drive outside of the UK, let alone rent a vehicle.
