Friendly and easy

Will_D, Mar 2024

The guy running the shop was so kind and fun and showed us how to use the vespas. Would recommend this place to everyone!

Wonderful experience

DUY_T, Oct 2023

Love the front desk man. He shows where and what we can do during short hours since we checked in late. He also let us returned the va spar the next morning. Highly recommended.

Chianti vineyards

Peggy_V, Oct 2023

Vespas on our own was amazing oncecout of florence. The scenery to Chianti was memorable would recommend an over night stay.

Florence Adventure

Geneva_H, Oct 2023

Driving Vespas into Chianti was amazing! Give yourself plenty of time to stop for lunch and explore. Having a bit of motorcycle or minibike experience was helpful.

FANTASTIC! A bucket list highlight of our trip to Italy!

Lauren_Z, Oct 2023

We had the BEST time driving through the beautiful Tuscany countryside on our Vespa! It was a dream come true and one of the highlights of our 2 week tour of Italy! Our friend who helped us at Florence Vespa Rentals was incredibly helpful and wanted to ensure that we got the maximum benefit from our day! He offered us a map with routes, suggestions, and clear instructions on how to operate the Vespa and get the most out of our experience. We did have to drive for a bit to get out of the city and into the hills of Tuscany (which is where we wanted to go) but we were guided how to clearly do that. It took us about 20 minutes to get out of the city. Such fun! Highly recommend if you have extra time in Florence!

Kind shop owner, however I would not recommend

Layla_L, Oct 2023

I wouldn’t recommend riding vespas in Italy. The owner of the shop was very kind, however unless you have experience riding motorcycles or scooters, I would not recommend this being your first experience. My partner had never rode a Vespa, however I have my motorcycle license. After watching him try to learn to ride and determine traffic laws we were unfamiliar with, and navigate we returned within 20 minutes after fear for safety. Italian drivers get on your tail, drive quickly and other scooters are lane splitting. It was simply too much and dangerous.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Good afternoon, we rent 100 Vespas a day and almost no one has any problems, as you can see we take care of the customers and if they are not able we don't give them permission to drive, because safety comes first. Many people drive without ever having driven a vehicle, and have unforgettable experiences. It's really sad after the work we do to help customers to receive a negative review without any fault. You could have requested the exchange with a car, as always we would have done our best for you.This year (2023) 4984 rentals, 4.9/5 positive reviews .

Scooting thru Chianti

Ric, Oct 2023

We rode our scooter down to Siena, our favorite city. It was a scenic 2 hr ride thru so many vineyards. The scooter handled great and had plenty of power. Great trip, great memories.

Unsafe due to rules of road

Michaella_N, Oct 2023

This would have been a great experience if we were given a little more direction on navigating Florence driving laws. Navigating the roads and rules of the road were difficult. The standard Vespa does not come with a holder for your phone (due to the law) and it made it difficult and extremely stressful to get around, especially when you are not at all familiar with the area. We ended up returning our Vespa in only a couple hours after getting it because we didn’t feel safe driving around without knowing the rules of the road well enough.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Good afternoon Michael , we provide a special map, an application to follow and we rent over 100 vehicles a day, no one ever has any problems, we often use headphones or simply use GPS for the passenger. You probably need a guide, but consider that they are building the new TRANVIA, i.e. the metro and therefore in these six months every road is temporary, but it does not depend on us and it is very incorrect to penalize the company that has helped you in every way for a personal problem,

Can't Wait to Go Again!

Darla_S, Sep 2023

What a fun ride in Florence with these scooters! So much fun. The scooters worked great. Booking was easy. Check in was easy. Customer service was great!! I only wish I had more time to go back and rent these scooters again!

Highly recommend!

Alyssa_I, Sep 2023

We had a fantastic experience! We were given great recommendations and a safe route to travel to the countryside by the rental company! We will be back when we return to Florence! Highly recommend!

The Highlight of our Trip.

AAPrivitelli, Sep 2023

Absolutely the highlight of our trip! We rented scooters and took them out into the Tuscan countryside. We worked with Alex who was very personable, and helpful with the whole set up and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable before taking off. Their system for picking up and dropping off the scooters is extremely convenient and made it so easy to plan our day around. We would absolutely rent from them again!

Phenomenal!!!!

Donna_B, Jul 2023

Alex was phenomenal and gave great recommendations on where to go. We had the best time and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Truly a great experience!...

Anna_D, Jul 2023

Truly a great experience! Staff was very friendly and took their time to explain everything to us. We had completely no experience driving vespas beforehand and managed to get out into the country side and back with no problems. Would highly recommend visiting the places Alex (the owner) recommends!

Amazing

Georgie_E, Jul 2023

Amazing experience, Vespa was everything we were after and more! We were given great tips on where to go when we picked up the Vespa which was so helpful, would highly recommend!

Easy to rent, provided a...

Thomas_S, Jun 2023

Easy to rent, provided a copy of driver's licence and email upon arrival. Simple to collect, very friendly, showed how to use Vespa and given a map of roads to avoid due to roadwork. Easy to return and inspect.

Excellent experience on Vespas riding Tuscan hills.

Anne_M, Jun 2023

Vespas were a fun way to see the area, the staff at the rental agency couldn't have been nicer or more helpful.

Amazing Manager!

jasminemlee929, Jun 2023

The manager of this store is INCREDIBLE! He was so busy and kind to every customer who came into the shop. We felt very safe riding through Florence on the Vespa and he even gave us a recommendation for a winery in the countryside. Would recommend to anyone who wanted to do a rental in Florence!

Awesome! Do it!

John_B, Jun 2023

Excellent Vespas. Excellent friendly service. Great advice and briefing. Made for a fun day out. As a tourist who doesn't know the area or rules etc, we rely on the operator to give us helpful advise. This guy was awesome. Would recommend

Khira_A, May 2023

We nearly died but that’s beside the point. The owner was very patient, provided a map, suggestions where to go, where to avoid, and he even gave us lessons on how to use the scooters. It was a little scary driving in the city with so much traffic but once we got the hang of it it was a lot of fun. You had the scooters for the whole day and he was flexible on when you could drop them back off. It also served as a place to store luggage or rent bikes. A reservation is strongly encouraged but another couple didn’t have one and he was able to still accommodate them.

Italia❤️

Stacey_N, Apr 2023

THE BEST EVER!!! We saw everything and went everywhere. Just take your time and ignore the honks:). Alex, who coordinates the Vespa, was amazing! Went back the next day to thank and shared our adventures. A definite must!
