E-scooters in Fuerteventura: Hoppy and Bird in four resorts, what a ride costs, and where you can’t ride

Which e-scooter app works in Fuerteventura?

This guide, like our map, covers shared e-scooters: the stand-up kind you unlock with an app and pay for by the minute, not mopeds or mobility scooters. Two operators run them, each with its own app, and which you need depends on the resort:

The counts are a snapshot of the operators’ open data, not fleet sizes. In Caleta de Fuste you need both apps to see every scooter.

Shops renting e-scooters by the hour or day publish no data, so they aren’t on our map.

Signing up: foreign phone, card, licence and age

A foreign phone and card should work: neither Hoppy’s nor Bird’s Spanish terms ask for a Spanish number or card.

• Hoppy (Hoppy Mobility on Google Play) signs you up with your mobile number and a code by text, and its terms forbid registering a number that isn’t yours. It takes credit and debit cards, topping up your balance automatically unless you turn that off.
• Bird emails you a sign-in code or link. It takes cards, and Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal in some cities.

Hoppy doesn’t say whether every foreign number gets its text: sign up at home, while there’s time to fix a problem.

You need no driving licence and no ID scan: you confirm in the app that you’re 18, the age both operators require, although Spanish law lets you ride from 15. New to shared scooters? See how to rent an e-scooter.

How much does an e-scooter cost in Fuerteventura?

Hoppy’s prices differ by resort and by scooter, and most of its scooters are in the top band; the app shows the rate of the one you scan. Bird publishes no price for Fuerteventura: check it in its app.

You pay for every minute the scooter is unlocked, moving or not; the app has the final price.

Can you ride on the promenade? Caleta, Corralejo and Morro Jable

No. Antigua’s and Pájara’s bylaws ban scooters from pavements, squares and any other space reserved for pedestrians, promenades included. In Corralejo, where Spain’s national rules apply, Hoppy’s app blocks the seafront.

• Caleta de Fuste. The Paseo Marítimo along the beach is pedestrian space, even where the apps let you ride. Where a stretch is signed as a cycle path, follow the signs; otherwise walk the scooter.
• Corralejo. Hoppy won’t let you ride through, start or end a ride on the Avenida Marítima, around the harbour, or on the pedestrian part of Avenida Nuestra Señora del Carmen, the main shopping street. In the old fishing quarter around Calle La Milagrosa it slows you to 10 km/h.
• Costa Calma and Morro Jable. Pájara’s bylaw keeps scooters off promenades, Morro Jable’s beachfront included, and off ordinary roads too: you may ride only on 30 km/h streets and in cycle lanes, as signed, and at 5 km/h on cycle routes through pedestrian areas. Bird’s open data are unclear on where its app stops you: trust the app’s map.

Where to park: Hoppy’s spots, Bird’s zones

Hoppy. A ride can start and end only at one of its marked spots: 98 in Caleta de Fuste and 34 in Corralejo, in its open data. Find the nearest before you set off: you pay until the ride ends.

Bird. No fixed spots here: park inside its zone, upright and out of people’s way, where the app’s map lets you end the ride.

The bylaws add their own limits: Antigua bans parking on pavements, and Pájara allows it only in spaces meant for scooters or bikes.

The airport, the dunes, the Lanzarote ferry and the buses

Interurban roads, here the FV-1 and FV-2, are closed to e-scooters, and each app’s area ends at the resort’s edge, so you can’t ride between resorts.

• The airport. No scooter area reaches it: the nearest scooter is about 4 km away in Caleta de Fuste, and the FV-2 between them is closed to e-scooters. Take Tiadhe bus 03, which stops at the airport between Puerto del Rosario and Caleta de Fuste every 15–30 minutes from about 06:00 to 23:00, Monday to Saturday, less often on Sundays (€1.45 from Puerto to Caleta), or a taxi.
• The dunes. Hoppy’s Corralejo area ends at the southern edge of town. The Parque Natural de Corralejo lies beyond it, and the FV-1 through the park is closed to e-scooters.
• The Lanzarote ferry. The Armas, Fred. Olsen and Líneas Romero terminals in Corralejo’s harbour lie inside a Hoppy no-ride zone, 500–700 m from the nearest spot, and a shared scooter can’t go on board.
• Buses. Tiadhe has banned e-scooters on all its buses since 27 March 2024. Line 06 links Corralejo’s harbour with Puerto del Rosario (€3.40), where you change to line 03 for the airport; line 05 links Costa Calma and Morro Jable (€2.70). Pay cash, or buy a BtF card on board for €5 and get 10% off.

Spain’s e-scooter rules for visitors

Spain’s rules changed on 1 October 2026 and apply here as everywhere else; the Canary Islands have no e-scooter law of their own. On a rental, the operator handles registration and insurance.

A helmet has been compulsory for every e-scooter rider in Spain since 1 October 2026, on rental scooters too: €200, and the police may immobilise the scooter. Neither Hoppy nor Bird lends one in Fuerteventura, so pack your own.

Fines are halved if you pay within 20 days, and according to Spain’s traffic authority, the DGT, you lose no licence points on an e-scooter.

The towns add their own bylaws: Antigua’s of 2019 and Pájara’s of 2022 are in force. La Oliva, which covers Corralejo, approved a draft in February 2026, but as of 15 October 2026 its final text hadn’t been published, so it isn’t in force yet.

Do the scooters run all year? Season, sun and wind

• All year. Neither operator publishes a winter break, and Hoppy’s open data give its hours as 24/7. Winter numbers aren’t published, so check the map before you go.
• Sun. At Fuerteventura airport the average daily high ranges from 20.6 °C in January to 27.8 °C in August, with 2,836 hours of sunshine and about 16 rainy days a year (AEMET, 1981–2010).
• Wind. The trade wind usually blows hardest in summer and picks up during the day, which is why Sotavento, next to Costa Calma, hosts a windsurf and wingfoil World Cup; its 38th edition ran from 17 July to 1 August 2026. Ride in the morning, and expect a headwind one way.
• Hills. Caleta de Fuste and Corralejo are flat; Morro Jable climbs steeply from the seafront.
• Kites. Corralejo’s 39th International Kite Festival runs from 9 to 15 November 2026 on the Grandes Playas, in the dunes park beyond Hoppy’s area. Bus 06 stops by the Riu hotels there.

Did you know?

• Caleta de Fuste had scooter rules before Spain did. Antigua published its bylaw in July 2019, 17 months before Spain’s first national e-scooter rules took effect in January 2021.
• 242 scooters in one day. On 17 September 2024 La Oliva’s police removed 242 rental scooters from Corralejo’s streets, because the companies running them had no permit.
• 200 in a weekend. In May 2023 Pájara removed 200 badly parked e-scooters from Costa Calma, and named Morro Jable as the area with the most problems.
