How much does it cost to hire a jet ski?

When exploring jet ski rental options, the cost can vary based on location, duration, and the type of jet ski. On average, expect prices to range from £50 to £150 per hour or £200 to £500 per day. The rental fee typically includes:

• Safety Gear: Most reputable rental providers include essential safety equipment such as life jackets in the rental price to ensure a secure riding experience.
• Fuel: In many cases, the rental fee incorporates the cost of fuel needed for the jet ski, allowing you to focus on enjoying your ride without worrying about refuelling expenses.
• Briefing and Instructions: A comprehensive briefing on operating the jet ski and safety guidelines is often included, especially for first-time riders.
• Insurance: Basic insurance coverage may be included, but it's advisable to check the terms and conditions.

Fuel consumption

Jet ski fuel consumption can vary based on several factors, including the model, engine size, riding conditions, and rider behaviour. On average, jet skis consume around 5 to 25 litres of fuel per hour of operation.

If you're cruising at lower speeds and engaging in light recreational riding, the fuel consumption tends to be on the lower end of the spectrum. Higher speeds and more aggressive riding styles can significantly increase fuel consumption.
