Frequently Asked Questions
Find a response to many of the questions we are frequently asked about Cycling Rentals bike hire services.
Where do Cycling Rentals Operate ?
Cycling Rentals offer bike rentals all over mainland Spain and Portugal. We can deliver to any accommodation where there is an all day reception service. We cannot deliver to hostels, B&B's and rental properties where no-one is at hand to receive or unable to store the bicycles for you.
Is Delivery and Collection Included ?
Delivery and collection is not included in our rental fees as charges may vary based on quantity and location.
How do I Rent a Bicycle ?
It couldn't be easier to hire a bike from Cycling Rentals. Simply give us your dates, bike preference and departure and return locations - we'll handle the rest.
How are Bikes Delivered ?
To be able to send bikes to your hotel in Spain or Portugal our bikes are delivered boxed, fully assembled directly to your accommodation. The only thing you have to do is pop the front wheel on and attach the pedals (we supply a pedal wrench). We also send you links to our YouTube page with "how to" assembly videos.
Can Cycling Rentals collect bikes from a different location to delivery ?
Absolutely! It's no problem to have a bike delivered in one location and collected from a different location. For example we could deliver bikes in Seville and collect them from Granada.
