Planning your 2026 trip to Positano, Amalfi, or Ravello? Driving a car on the SS163 “Amalfitana” highway has become a logistical nightmare. Between new ZTL (Limited Traffic Zones) and the alternate license plate system, renting a scooter is no longer just an option—it’s a necessity for freedom.
To reduce congestion, a strict alternate-day traffic system is in place:
Even-numbered days: Only cars with license plates ending in an even number can circulate.
Odd-numbered days: Only cars with license plates ending in an odd number can circulate.
⚠️ THE EXPERT TIP: Scooters and motorcycles are EXEMPT from this rule. With a Rent in Costa scooter, you can travel every single day, regardless of your plate number.
From Positano to Vietri sul Mare, high-tech cameras monitor every entrance. Entering a ZTL zone without a permit results in an automatic fine of over €80 ($85+).
Restricted Access: Cars are often blocked from city centers.
Two-Wheel Freedom: Our scooters allow you to reach the heart of the villages, just steps away from the beaches and main squares.
Furore Fjord is one of the most strictly regulated spots. Stopping on the main road is forbidden and parking for cars is virtually non-existent.

Easy Departure: Agerola offers easy parking for your pickup, unlike the chaotic coastal towns.
