The Experience

The Colosseum rises in front of you, and your Vespa is waiting. You pick it up right there in central Rome, helmet in hand, the ancient stone at your back—the perfect starting point to move through the city on your own terms. A 24-hour rental means you're not locked into a tour schedule or a driver's route; you navigate where you want, when you want, and the scooter handles the narrow streets and traffic-limited zones that buses and taxis can't reach as easily.

What makes this different from renting a car in Rome is the obvious thing: a Vespa fits. You'll slip through congestion, park without hunting for a lot, and arrive at the Trevi Fountain or the Roman Forum without the fatigue of walking or the cost of a taxi negotiation at the curb. The rental comes with full third-party liability insurance, an anti-theft chain, two helmets with under-helmet covers, a phone holder for navigation, and access to most of Rome's restricted traffic zones. The staff will point you toward routes and neighborhoods most visitors miss—the kind of local knowledge that saves you an hour of wandering. If you want to stay out late, you can park the Vespa overnight next to the Colosseum and pick it up the next morning without extra charge.

One hard requirement: you need prior experience riding an automatic scooter or Vespa. Experience with other vehicles—quads, jet skis, electric scooters—doesn't count. A valid car or motorcycle driving license is mandatory; if you're not from Europe, an International Driving Permit must come with it. You'll also need to bring a document showing your home address, a credit or debit card valid for at least six months (for the €350 deposit), and be at least 21 years old. You're liable for any damage to the scooter during your rental, so ride with that in mind.

What’s included

Your rental includes third-party liability insurance, two helmets with under-helmet covers, an anti-theft chain, a mobile phone handlebar holder, free overnight parking at the Colosseum, and local taxes. The rental staff will provide route recommendations and local tips to help you navigate Rome's center and restricted traffic zones.
