Amalfi is more than just a town; it is the historical and geographical soul of the Amalfi Coast. As a former Maritime Republic, its streets are a labyrinth of history, beauty, and—unfortunately for travelers—significant traffic congestion. In 2026, navigating Amalfi by car has become nearly impossible for visitors due to strict ZTL (Limited Traffic Zones) and the chronic shortage of parking spaces at the “Piazza Flavio Gioia” hub.
If you are planning your trip, a scooter rental in Amalfi is not just an option—it is the most strategic decision you can make. At RentinCosta, we specialize in providing high-quality 125cc scooters and iconic Vespa Piermavera models, delivered directly to your location, ensuring your Mediterranean dream doesn’t get stuck in a traffic jam.
Amalfi serves as the central junction of the SS163 highway. From here, roads branch off toward the mountain town of Ravello and along the coast toward Positano or Salerno.
The Ferry Connection: Many tourists arrive in Amalfi via ferry from Salerno, Capri, or Sorrento. Carrying luggage through the crowded tunnels to find a rental shop is exhausting.
The “Molo” Delivery: RentinCosta offers an exclusive delivery service to the Amalfi Port (Molo Manfredi). We meet you as you step off the boat, hand you the keys, and you’re ready to ride.
Access to Ravello: The climb to Ravello is world-famous for its views but also for its tight “hairpin” turns. A scooter handles these curves with an agility that a car simply cannot match.
Atrani is the tiny, picturesque neighbor of Amalfi, often considered part of the same urban fabric. Whether you are staying in a luxury suite in Amalfi or a cozy Airbnb in the arches of Atrani, our delivery service covers every corner.
How our “Hassle-Free” Delivery Works:
Booking: Select your dates and your preferred model (Vespa or Scooter).
Location: Tell us your Hotel name or your arrival time at the Amalfi Ferry Terminal.
Meeting: Our team arrives with your sanitized scooter, two helmets, and all necessary documentation.
Local Briefing: We don’t just leave you the bike. we explain the 2026 traffic rules, show you the secret “scooter-only” parking spots in Amalfi, and suggest the best local lemon sorbet spots.
Having a scooter in Amalfi opens up a world of possibilities that are otherwise difficult to reach:
The drive from Amalfi to Ravello takes about 15-20 minutes in a scooter. In a car or bus, it can take up to an hour during peak season. With a scooter, you can easily stop at the various viewpoints to admire the Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo from below before arriving at the main square.
Located in Conca dei Marini, just a few kilometers from Amalfi, this sea cave is a must-see. Parking for cars near the elevator is extremely limited. However, there is a dedicated area for motorcycles where you can park for free or a very small fee, allowing you to enjoy the boat tour without worrying about your vehicle.
Atrani is a jewel of Mediterranean architecture. Parking a car here is strictly forbidden for non-residents. With a scooter, you can quickly visit the square, take photos under the famous arches, and move on to your next destination.
Amalfi has implemented strict parking regulations to protect its UNESCO heritage.
Luna Rossa Parking: This is the main underground garage. While great for cars, it is often full by 9:00 AM and costs significantly more than scooter parking.
Blue Lines for Scooters: Look for the blue-painted boxes specifically marked for “Motocicli.” In Amalfi, these are much easier to find near the port area.
Safety Tip: Always ensure you are within the lines. The Amalfi “Polizia Municipale” is very strict about keeping the pedestrian walkways clear.
The SS163 road around Amalfi is legendary. To ride like a local, follow these rules:
Respect the SITA Buses: These large buses own the road. If you see one approaching a curve, wait and let them finish the maneuver.
The “Thumb Rule” for Mirrors: Always check your mirrors before overtaking. Local commuters on scooters can be fast; stay to the right and enjoy the pace.
ZTL Awareness: Amalfi has a ZTL zone that covers the historical center (Piazza Duomo). Cars are strictly monitored by cameras. While scooters have more flexibility, always follow the signs we provide during your briefing to avoid automatic fines.
