Tuscany Driving Hints and Tips

To help make your experience as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible, we will provide you with a fact-sheet detailing practical hints and tips to help you navigate your way around Tuscany more easily.

Note: You don’t need a motorbike license to rent a 125cc Vespa in Italy. However, you must already be a safe, competent scooter rider. If you have no previous experience successfully riding a scooter or motorbike we would rather you didn’t rent with us since we don’t want anyone to get hurt. Try one at home first, so you know whether or not you can safely drive a scooter. We just want everyone to have a safe and happy holiday!

Vespa Scooter Rentals in TuscanyWe started Tuscany Scooter Rental to offer people the quintessential Italian experience of driving a Vespa along Tuscany’s gorgeous country roads and exploring its timeless hilltop villages. Call it “the Audrey Hepburn” or just “too cool,” riding our bright-red classically-styled Vespas will be an experience you will never forget. All of our Vespas are the late model Vespa LX 125. The 125cc engine has enough power to carry you effortlessly over the rolling Tuscan hills. The Vespas are of course checked and serviced regularly. With Tuscany Scooter Rental you get a truly memorable experience, not just a rental Vespa. When you reserve with us you gain access to our knowledge of the best roads, the most scenic routes, and recommendations about what to see and do, even where to have the best cappuccino, gelato, or long leisurely lunch. After all, we live here! We speak fluent Italian, English, and French.
