Bicycle and motorbike hire in the United Arab Emirates

Updated 31 October 2026

Bicycle hire in the UAE costs from AED 120 a day for a city bike, and some shops quote from AED 50 an hour. Motorbikes start at about AED 400 a day for a mid-size model, while large sport bikes cost AED 600 to AED 800 a day. For current offers, describe what you need on BlaBlaPrice and the request reaches sellers in the UAE.

Age and licence rules to check

Rental firms set their own conditions, so ask before you book. One premium rental company asks riders to be at least 25 and to have held a full motorcycle licence for at least a year, and a deposit of AED 8,000 applies to riders over 25 with more than two years of licence. To get a motorcycle licence yourself, expect AED 4,500 to AED 7,500 for a course that takes 6 to 10 weeks, depending on the school, and the course is open from age 17.

Hot summer and the cool season

Summer from May to September is very hot, so midday rides are hard on riders and on the bike, and many people book for early mornings and evenings. The mild months from November to March are the busiest for bicycles and motorbikes. A request sent now lets sellers quote for the cooler weeks ahead.

Pickup, delivery and how hire is priced

Prices in the listings are mostly per day, with hourly rates from some shops and monthly rates for motorbikes. Ask whether the seller delivers between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain, and state the delivery fee before you agree. Give your height in centimetres when you ask for a bike or a motorbike, so the seller can pick the right size.

What to put in your request

Name the vehicle (bicycle, scooter or motorbike), your height in centimetres, and the size you need. Say how many days or months you want, whether you need riding gear, and which city you ride in. Tell the seller your budget per day and whether you can accept a deposit, and how much.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the hire in your own words in the chat, and add a photo if it helps. The AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price, terms and delivery, while your contact details stay hidden.
