The Costa Blanca has a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and warm summers, making it ideal for year-round cycling. Spring and autumn are particularly popular for longer rides. The location attracts professional teams and amateur cyclists from across Europe and beyond for its mixed terrain, favourable weather conditions and affordability.
Since 2018, we have been trusted specialists in bike hire and cycling holidays on the Costa Blanca. We offer premium bike hire exclusively with Cervélo carbon road racing bikes and are delighted to welcome many customers back year after year after their first experience with us.
We have seven branches across the North Costa Blanca. All branches offer bike collection and return, subject to opening hours and availability.

Our opening hours vary depending on the location and the season. Opening times are published on our website homepage and Google.
Our customer service team is available during working hours. Emails received outside these times will be answered as soon as possible, usually on the next working day.
We have a fleet of premium Cervélo carbon road racing bikes. We also offer eBikes.
The majority of our Cervélo bikes are equipped with SRAM AXS electronic groupsets. Typical gearing is 48:35 chainrings with a 10-36 cassette, providing a wide range suitable for both flat roads and mountain climbs.
The most important factor is choosing the correct frame size. Knowing your measurements, especially your height and current bike setup, will help you select the best option. Technical specifications and size guides for our Cervélo models can be found on the UK Cervélo website: www.cervelo.com/en-GB
To ensure every bike is prepared efficiently and maintained to the highest standard, we are unable to accept requests for specific bikes, colours, individual equipment preferences, or custom setups.
It can be worth emailing us to check availability. Sometimes we have last-minute cancellations or we are aware of new stock arriving, which may not yet be on the system.
A price list is published in the “Bike Hire” section of our website.
The way to reserve one of our bikes is through the webshop, which shows live availability. Extras like pedals, accidental damage insurance, gels and helmets can also be added. If you have any problems placing an order or have questions please email us.
An automatic order confirmation is immediately sent to the email address you provided when booking. Please check all folders in case it ends up in spam.
Group booking should also be made on our webshop, either as one booking or individual bookings. For groups of 10+ bikes you can email us for a quote, if preferred.
We have the largest rental fleet on the Costa Blanca with over 400 bikes. We are experienced in supplying bikes to groups and will always do our very best to fulfil your order
The simplest solution is to get together and organise it as one booking. If this is not possible, individuals should book on the webshop separately, indicating their group name in the “extra information” section.
A valid photographic ID (Passport, Driving License, National ID card). We reserve the right to ask for more, such as additional photo identification, an accommodation receipt in your name and the credit card used to pay for the booking.
The Customer must be at least 18 years of age. Where a bike is rented for use by a person under 18 years of age, the Customer must be their parent or legal guardian and accepts full responsibility for ensuring that the bike is used safely, responsibly, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations throughout the rental period.
Advance bookings require a minimum 3 consecutive days. If you are already in the area, same-day rentals may be available from our branches subject to availability.
No, our minimum rental is 1 day.
No. The rental is charged by calendar day, meaning:
We recommend booking early to ensure the requested model is available in your size. Although we have a very large fleet of bikes, we can be fully booked in peak season. If you haven’t booked in advance, don’t be put off, as we still may be able to assist!
If booking well in advance, please consider that, as we change models every year, the reserved model could be replaced with a new one with similar or better specifications than the previously reserved bike.
For advance bookings, payment is required to remove the bike from our booking system and reserve it for you. Spontaneous same-day hires can be paid for at the branch.
Yes, so that we can take the bike off our booking system and reserve it for you. For large group orders with a minimum value of €1.500, we can offer a deposit arrangement with the final balance due 6 weeks prior to the hire. Please contact us to discuss.
Reservation payments are made in advance through our webshop, and we accept credit and debit cards. Payment by bank transfer may also be possible if you contact us. Cash payments are not accepted.
To be the first to hear about any special promotions on offer we recommend signing up for our newsletter via our website homepage.
No. Cancellation requests must be submitted by email to info@blancabikes.com so they can be properly recorded and processed. Verbal requests or requests made through other channels are not valid.
We understand that plans can change. Our cancellation policy is designed to be fair and straightforward, giving you flexibility while helping us manage our bike hire bookings. It is in customers’ own best interest to have travel insurance that covers cancellations due to illness, bereavement, or other unforeseen circumstances.
Please see our Terms and Conditions on our website homepage for the applicable charges.
We may be able to accommodate requested changes. The earlier you contact us, the more likely it will be we can help. Please note a handling fee may be applied for changes requested by the customer after a booking has been placed. Please see our Terms & Conditions on our website homepage regarding cancellations and changes.
Extensions may be possible, subject to bike availability. Please contact us as soon as possible and we will be happy to check availability and provide pricing options for you.
Unfortunately, weather conditions are outside of our control, and refunds or credits are not provided due to poor weather. We recommend considering travel insurance that covers weather-related disruption.
If your plans change and you need to collect your bike later than originally booked, please contact us as soon as possible. We will keep your booking active where we have been notified in advance; however, unused rental days cannot be refunded or credited. If you do not arrive on the booked start date and we have not received prior written notice to info@blancabikes.com, your booking will be cancelled and no refund will be available.
If you decide to return the bike early you should let us know as soon as possible. There will be no claim for a partial reimbursement as the equipment has not been available for others to pre-book.
We do not typically require a security deposit or card pre-authorisation; however customers remain responsible for any damage, loss, theft, cleaning costs, or other charges arising during the rental period. Where applicable, these charges may be charged directly to the customer. If a security deposit has been taken, it may be used to cover such charges.
Our optional Accidental Damage Insurance is available for purchase prior to bike handover.
No. Standard bike hire does not include insurance. Customers are responsible for the bike during the rental period. We strongly recommend arranging appropriate insurance to cover your holiday, transfers, cycling activities, and rental equipment.
Optional Accidental Damage Insurance can be purchased before bike handover (see next FAQ)
Yes. Our insurance covers any accidental damage to the bike during the rental period. The bike insured is the one handed over to the customer at bike pick up on the first day of hire. It excludes loss and theft of the bike, and replacement inner tubes are not included. The insurance is only valid if purchased prior to bike handover.
Using the bike for the prohibited activities outlined in full on our Terms and Conditions including entering a race, riding off-road, will invalidate the insurance.
The hired bike can be picked up from shop opening time on the first day of your booked hire.
If you would like to guarantee a pick up the day before, you will need to book the bike from that earlier date.
Yes, this is possible if you let us know in advance by email. The person collecting the bike must bring their ID & relevant documentation and sign the rental agreement on your behalf.
Our Cervélo hire bikes come fully equipped and ready to ride, with a range of essential accessories included as standard. Each bike is fitted with:
No, the cost of pedals is excluded from the advertised bike hire price as the majority of our customers prefer to use their own. We have a limited number of pedals that can be hired for a small fixed fee and the options are SPD, SPD SL, Look Keo and Flat.
We do not currently rent cycling shoes or clothing. Customers should bring their own. Selected clothing and accessories may be available for purchase in our branches.
We will be happy to assist with the tools we have available. You may prefer to bring the appropriate tool if there is any uncertainty.
You are welcome to bring your own saddle (without seat post) to mount on the bike, as long as it has round rails. Any damage due to self assembly is chargeable.
Yes. Helmets are mandatory when cycling in Spain in accordance with local regulations. You must provide your own helmet or hire one from us.
In our branches we sell Cycling Apparel, Helmets, Bike Lights, Accidental Damage Insurance, Sports Nutrition, Bidons, Coffee Beans and Souvenirs. All subject to availability.
To guarantee availability, please email us no later than 3 days before your hire start date to add any extras. It may also be possible to add extras on the day of hire.
Our customers should only use the bike for lawful and authorised purposes and should obey all traffic laws and regulations. Some activities are not permitted, such as entering a race and cycling off road. Please see our Terms and Conditions on our website homepage for the details.
Customers are responsible for selecting the correct frame size at the time of booking. If after collection you believe a different size would be more suitable, we can arrange an exchange at one of our branches, subject to availability. A €15 exchange fee applies, including exchanges requested at the point of collection. If the replacement bike is a higher-value model, the difference in hire price will also be payable. If you exchange for a lower-priced bike, no partial refund or credit will be given.
Bikes are supplied in roadworthy condition. Minor variations (e.g. brake noise) do not necessarily constitute a fault.
Every bike is provided with a spare inner tube and basic tools to allow customers to repair a puncture if required. We do not provide a puncture repair service, roadside assistance, or mobile repairs during the rental period. Any additional punctures, replacement inner tubes, or associated repair costs are the customer’s responsibility.
If a mechanical issue arises, or there is a change in the working condition of the bike during the rental period, customers must return the bike as soon as reasonably possible to the Blanca Bikes branch for inspection by our staff.
We will assess the issue and determine the appropriate solution, which may include repair, replacement of the bike, or another suitable option where possible.
Customers must not arrange repairs with third parties without contacting us first, as unauthorised repairs may not be covered. Customers should not continue to use the bike if doing so could reasonably be expected to cause further damage.
Each bike is supplied with a spare inner tube and basic tools. Customers are expected to repair punctures themselves. We do not provide roadside puncture repairs or mobile assistance.
If the bike is damaged during your rental period, you should contact us as soon as possible. Customers are responsible for damage caused during the hire unless covered by our optional Accidental Damage Insurance. Loss or theft is not covered by this insurance.
While our team is happy to offer advice, we do not provide a roadside assistance or mobile repair service. If you experience a mechanical issue during your hire, please contact us as soon as possible and we will advise you on the best solution. Depending on the situation, you may be asked to return the bike to one of our branches so our mechanics can inspect and resolve the issue. Please do not arrange repairs with third parties without contacting us first, as unauthorised repairs will not be covered.
You must immediately report the theft to the relevant authorities and provide a copy of the police report to us. You remain responsible for the bike until the matter has been resolved.
Due to the high value of our bikes, they should never be left unattended, whether locked or unlocked. We do not provide bike locks and do not endorse or recommend their use as a substitute for supervision of the equipment.
All of our rental bikes have ‘European style’ brakes which are as follows:
Left lever is the front brake
Right lever is the rear brake
It is not possible to swap the brakes.
Whilst we aren´t able to match a full bike fit, we can help adjust the saddle height to set you up comfortably for your ride.
Of course! Please join our Blanca Bikes or Calpe Cycling Club Strava groups for route ideas.
With seven branches across the Costa Blanca, most customers can conveniently collect and return their bikes in person at a location that suits them.
For bookings with a total value of €1,500 or more for the same hire period, and where the accommodation is located more than 2km from one of our branches, we also offer a premium delivery and collection service. Please contact us for further details and availability.
Please note that customers using our delivery service are still required to visit one of our branches should any mechanical issues arise during their hire period.
No. Our delivery and collection service is only available to eligible customers at their accommodation address. We are unable to deliver to alternative locations, meeting points, public areas, or other addresses.

Yes, as long as both of your accommodation addresses are within our delivery zone and we are advised at the point of booking. Otherwise please contact us to discuss.
If the delivery address does not permit easy access for a van, customers are requested to make alternative arrangements with us. Please see our Terms and Conditions for more details.
Yes, as you need to show your photo ID and sign the rental agreement. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this.
As you will still be responsible for the bike until it is handed back to us, it is in your best interest to be present for the return of the bike. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this.
We will do our best to deliver and collect the bike within the agreed delivery time period but force majeure or other exceptional circumstances (heavy traffic, road accidents, lack of punctuality by other customers) may cause delays.
In the event that we are unable to make the delivery / collection because a customer fails to show up at the agreed time, a fee is chargeable to redeliver. Alternatively, the bikes can be collected from the branch they were returned to.
Please contact us to check if this is possible. Last minute changes (within 48 hours) are subject to a €15 administration charge, if the change is possible.

We would be happy to arrange a private guide for you or your group. One guide per 9 riders. This is something we can offer if you are using one of our other services e.g. hiring a bike with us.
