Scooter Rental in Sorrento

Vespa rental in Sorrento is available for all experience levels. If you have ridden a scooter before, you will feel at home immediately on our automatic 50cc and 125cc models. More experienced riders can opt for a 150cc or 250cc machine with additional torque for hill climbs. Our fleet is serviced every 2,000 km and inspected before every rental. All bikes come fitted with anti-theft locks, mirrors and a USB charging port for navigation.

A typical day trip from Sorrento by scooter might take you south along the coast to Positano for a morning coffee and a swim at Spiaggia Grande, east through Praiano to Amalfi for lunch at a harbourside restaurant, then inland via Ravello for panoramic views before the return along the mountain road through Colli di Fontanella. This circular route covers around 70 km — easily achievable in a day with time to stop for photos and gelato. Explore more route ideas.

Driving licence requirements for scooter rental in Italy depend on engine size. A valid car driving licence (category B) is sufficient for scooters up to 125cc. For machines 150cc and above, you need a motorcycle licence (category A or A2). All international driving licences are accepted. Riders must be at least 18 years old. If you are unsure which licence category you hold, our team will advise you when you collect the scooter.

Safety on the Amalfi Coast roads demands extra care. The SP366 and SS163 carry a mix of tourist coaches, local delivery vans and pedestrians crossing the road to photograph the views. Tips for safe riding: always ride in the centre of your lane so larger vehicles do not overtake you in tunnels; use your horn on blind hairpin bends; never tailgate coaches on descents; and stop at wide points to let buses pass. Our rental team will brief you on current road conditions and any temporary closures before you set off.

The best season for scooter hire in Sorrento runs from April through October. May, June and September offer the ideal combination of warm weather, manageable traffic and dry roads. July and August are peak season — glorious but congested, especially on the main coast road between 10:00 and 18:00. Starting early (before 09:00) or returning after 19:00 transforms the experience. Pair your scooter hire with a private boat charter for a full day of coastal freedom.
