Amalfi Scooter Rentals from €5/day with BikesBooking.com

Amalfi rewards anyone willing to trade the coach seat for a saddle. Duck out of town on a rented scooter and within twenty minutes you can be looking down at the fjord-like inlet at Furore, or climbing toward Ravello's Terrace of Infinity with the whole coast spread out below. This is the kind of morning public transport simply can't deliver.

The SS163 coast road was never built with tour buses in mind, and in July it shows — narrow lanes, blind hairpins, and traffic that barely moves between Amalfi and Positano. A scooter slips through all of it, parks in a gap the size of a doorway, and turns a half-day queue into a free afternoon. If you want to rent a scooter in Amalfi, this is exactly the road it was made for.

Top 10 things to see in Amalfi by scooter

1. Ravello (Villa Rufolo & Villa Cimbrone) — a short, steep climb from Amalfi to a hilltop town famous for its gardens and the cliffside Terrace of Infinity.
2. Positano — the classic run west along the SS163, with pull-offs for photos of the cliffside town and its beaches.
3. Path of the Gods trailhead, Bomerano/Agerola — ride up into the hills above the coast to reach the trailhead for one of Italy's best-known coastal hikes.
4. Valle delle Ferriere Nature Reserve — a short ride up from Amalfi into a shaded gorge with waterfalls and old paper mills.
5. Furore and the Fiordo di Furore — a dramatic fjord-like inlet with a beach tucked under a bridge.
6. Atrani — Italy's smallest comune, a two-minute ride away, with a tiny beach and tangled medieval lanes.
7. Duomo di Sant'Andrea (Amalfi Cathedral) — the town's own landmark, worth parking up for before heading out.
8. Praiano — a quieter coastal town with cliffside viewpoints and the Church of San Gennaro.
9. Vietri sul Mare — the gateway town at the Salerno end of the coast, known for its colorful ceramics.
10. Marina di Praia — a small cove beach reachable by a short detour down to the water.

What do you need to rent a scooter in Amalfi?

For a 50cc scooter capped at 45 km/h, an AM licence is enough. Anything from 51cc up to 125cc needs an A1 licence, though holders of a full car (B) licence may be allowed to ride a 125cc locally — rules on foreign B licences vary by operator, so confirm before you book. Non-EU licence holders should carry an International Driving Permit alongside their home licence. Rental shops typically ask for a minimum age of 18 and take a deposit, usually as a credit card hold, scaled to the value of the scooter.

How much does it cost to rent a scooter in Amalfi?

A 50cc scooter runs from EUR 5-25 per day in low season up to EUR 35-60 per day in high season, with 125cc and larger machines reaching EUR 60-90 per day at the summer peak.

• Prices climb steadily from spring, peaking in July and August.
• They fall back down from November through March, the cheapest months on the coast.
• Larger engines and premium models always carry a higher rate than a basic 50cc.

When to book a rental scooter in Amalfi?

High season runs June through August, with July and August the busiest and priciest stretch on the whole coast — book your scooter rental in Amalfi well ahead if you're travelling then, since availability tightens fast. Low season, November to March, is quieter and cheaper, though some outlets scale back their hours or close. May, June, September and early October hit the sweet spot: warm, far less crowded, and easier on both price and availability.

Local traffic rules in Amalfi

Italy drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for every rider and passenger on a scooter, no exceptions, and headlights stay on at all times, day or night. Speed limits are 50 km/h in town, 90 km/h on ordinary roads outside built-up areas, dropping further on wet roads; 50cc mopeds are capped at 45 km/h and can't use dual carriageways or motorways. The blood-alcohol limit is 0.5 g/l, and zero for riders under 21 or who've held a licence less than three years. Watch for ZTL restricted zones in town centres — ride into one without a permit and the fine finds you months later.
