Renting a quad bike lets you explore Zakynthos freely, from hidden beaches to coastal and mountain trails. It’s the perfect way to escape the crowds and find untouched spots.


Why Choose Quad Bike Rentals in Zante?

Quad bike rentals are a great and easy way to get around Zante. They give you the freedom to explore off the beaten track, which you wouldn’t be able to access with a car. They allow you to explore more remote beaches and scenic routes while also avoiding the limitations of public transport and organised tours.

Since the quad bikes are fairly small, they are easily manoeuvrable in narrow and crowded streets. This also gives you the option to park the quad bike in smaller spaces, making it very practical when driving around Zante.

For those who are uncomfortable renting a scooter, a quad bike might be a great alternative. With more stability than a scooter, a quad bike can handle steeper and more uneven roads or paths, which is handy when faced with Zante’s terrain. Depending on your needs, the quad bikes normally range from 170cc to 500cc.

It’s worth booking the quad bikes in advance online as you may get deals or find cheaper options. As it gets closer to your rental time prices may rise, forcing you to pay more.

Tips for Renting a Quad Bike in Zante

  • Licensing requirements: You will require a valid driver’s license (check local rules for international visitors).

  • Insurance options: It’s worth getting an insurance option unless you have travel insurance.

  • Fuel policy: The cost of fuel will vary depending on where you are but remember most companies expect the quad to be returned with the same amount of fuel as before.

  • Choosing a reliable rental provider: Do some research online and have a look at reviews of the top places, go with rentals that look visibly busy and ask locals if you’re still unsure.

  • Vehicle inspection: Always take a video of the quad before riding it as this can be used as proof that you didn’t damage it and check the quad is in working condition before heading off.

Popular Destinations to Go To

Zakynthos is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Greece and a quad bike is the ideal way to discover them. Some of the best-hidden beaches you can reach with a quad include the secluded Xigia Beach, known for its sulfur-rich waters and only located around a 40-minute drive from Laganas. Also, Gerakas Beach, a nesting ground for endangered sea turtles, is a great place to check out. With a quad bike, you can easily access these gems, leaving behind the crowds at more popular spots like Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach).

Some may prefer to go completely off track and find their spots using a map, which is a great way to explore but remember to be considerate of Zante’s wildlife.

By following the tips we’ve provided, you can make the most of your rental experience and explore Zakynthos like a local. So, if you’re looking for a fun and memorable way to see Zakynthos, don’t hesitate to hop on a quad bike.
