Rent a Vespa for Your Rome Vacation
Tuesday April 24, 2007
Auto Europe offers a great new way to see Rome on your vacation - rent a Vespa 125 LX, a classic design based on the original Vespa motor scooter, but with the convenience of an automatic transmission and electric start. With the Vespa, you'll average 90 miles per gallon on fuel, beat the traffic congestion, and you'll be able to go places cars can't go in Rome, including special parking spots where you can park for free. Check out this great new rental deal from Auto Europe (Buy Direct). Don't worry, if you don't want to ride a Vespa, they have cars, too.

beware- Many street are are public transport and residents only- Vespas will be ticketed!!!
I can’t find anything on AutoEurope’s site about vespa rental… Are they still offering this? If so, how do I get to it on their site.
Thanks!
I contacted Auto Europe and received this reply: “I have contacted the reservation manager here at Auto Europe, and he has advised me that we do not have regular Vespas in our booking system; however there are specialty suppliers in Italy that we
may request them from. We previously offered Vespa rentals with Europcar, but Europcar no longer has them in their fleet. If you have
particular dates in mind, contact Auto Europe for a quote.”

That would be so fun, but if you’re not accustomed to scooter driving, I would just rent a car!
Vespa has become synonymous with Italian Scooter yet there are two other Italian scooters, Aprilia and Piaggio scooters, that are also well crafted and outstanding.
you’ll find original classic Vespa with the gear, for rent, on BICIBACI shop in Via del Viminale, 5 - www.bicibaci.com
