YOUR VESPA

Throughout your Vespa tour in Puglia, you’ll have your own 125cc Vespa at your disposal. You’ll receive it the morning after your arrival, and return it on the last evening. The Vespa is yours for the whole trip, even during the evenings.

If you want to receive your Vespa earlier, or want to keep it a bit longer, you can choose the Early Pick-Up and/or the Late Drop-Off. With those options, the Vespa is yours from 2pm on your arrival day and/or you can return it at 2pm on your departure day (€50 per option).

Can I drive the Vespa solo?

The prices are calculated with the assumption that the Vespa is shared between 2 people. If you would like to drive solo, there is a supplement of €130 per single driver (per person).

DRIVING LICENSE

In order to drive our Vespas in Puglia, you must have a driving license (B) or a motorbike license (A) and be 18+. The license (AM) is not valid. The passenger sitting in the back does not need to be 18 nor have a driving license.

You have a European driving license? That’s perfect! Your license isn’t for Europe? Then you’ll need to apply for an international driving license.

START-TO-VESPA

Never ridden a Vespa or scooter before? We highly recommend taking the Start-to-Vespa class. On your arrival day in Puglia, your guide will provide all the essential information plus an introductory lesson to help you get comfortable with riding and to ensure you can drive safely in Italian traffic.

After the lesson, you’ll have your Vespa for extra practice and to start exploring at your own pace. This class costs €50 per person.

GPS

The designed routes are uploaded on a GPS, which you can easily attach to the steering wheel of your Vespa. With this GPS (+ €30) you’ll come by the most beautiful roads and arrive at the most stunning stops of Puglia.

FOOD

Daily breakfast is included in the price. For a lovely lunch or dinner, we always recommend some of our favorite restaurants. In Fasano, the home base for your Vespa Trip in Puglia, you will find many cozy restaurants and nice bars.

VESPA WAIVER

Your Vespa automatically includes insurance for damage to third parties. For coverage of damage to your own Vespa, you can choose between two options. You may opt for the Vespa waiver at €89 per Vespa, which brings your liability to €0 and requires no deposit. If you prefer not to take the waiver, a €500 deposit will be required, for which you are fully liable in the event of damage.

About a month before departure, you’ll receive an email where you can select the option that suits you best.
