Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a driving license in order to drive the Vespa?

Our Vespas are 125cc. To ride them in Italy, you need either a car driving licence (B) or a motorbike licence (A). An AM licence is not sufficient.

You must have a European driving licence. If you don’t have one, you’ll need an international driving permit, which you can apply for in your home country.

UK residents do not need a European driving licence. A valid UK driving licence is sufficient to ride our Vespas in Italy.

Do I need to have driving experience with a Vespa or scooter in order to drive the Vespa?

If you’ve never ridden a Vespa or scooter before, or you’re still quite inexperienced or unsure, we strongly recommend practising beforehand and booking the Start-to-Vespa lesson.

Especially Amalfi and Veneto are suited to more experienced riders, as the roads there are more challenging than in our other destinations.

If you choose the Start-to-Vespa lesson, your guide will give you an introduction to riding a Vespa on your arrival day. You’ll go on a test ride together, so you’ll be ready to start your Vespa trip the next day! The lesson costs €50 per person, and you can keep the Vespa afterwards.

 

Can I drive the Vespa solo?

Yes! It’s possible, but there is a supplement of €130 per single driver, because the Vespa Trip prices are calculated with the assumption that the Vespa is shared between 2 people.

Do we drive individually or in group?

The choice is yours! If you prefer to ride solo, you can book the GPS in which all routes are loaded. This way you’ll easily pass the most beautiful tracks and most interesting stops.

Do you prefer to follow the guide? Great! Follow the guide with the group and let them lead you along the routes while you enjoy the views along the way even more.
