— Common questions

Vespa rental & photoshoot — frequently asked

How do I get a quote for a Vespa photoshoot in Rome?

Send us a WhatsApp message with your preferred date, duration (1 hour, 2 hours, or half-day) and any specific spots you want included. We reply within a few hours with availability and a personalised quote. Every package includes the Vespa, helmet, photographer and edited photos delivered within 24 hours.

Do I need a driver's license to rent a Vespa?

Not if you choose the "driven" option — we provide a local rider, you ride passenger and pose. For self-riding, you need a valid EU motorcycle license (or an international permit accepted in Italy for a 50cc-equivalent Vespa).

Can two people ride one Vespa for the shoot?

Yes — most of our couple shots are two-up. Both helmets are provided. If you want some solo frames too, we can pause and swap.

Which Vespa model do you use?

Classic 1960s-style Vespas — chrome, leather seat, the iconic silhouette. Colors vary; ask via WhatsApp if you want a specific color (cream, sky blue, vintage red, mint).

What if it rains?

We watch the forecast and reschedule at no charge if conditions are unsafe for riding. Light rain often gives the most cinematic frames — we can adjust the route to covered areas.

What's the best time of day?

Sunrise. Empty streets, golden light, soft Roman pastels. We typically meet 45 minutes before sunrise for the 1-hour package, or 30 minutes before for longer ones.
