Hiring a scooter on the island
Yes, you can use and rent a scooter on Capri, but you cannot bring your own from the mainland due to strict driving bans for non-residents from April to October.
While experienced riders find scooters to be a thrilling way to explore, many caution that Capri’s winding, cliff-side roads and aggressive traffic require extreme alertness.If you want to ride a Vespa, you can rent them on the island at local shops like Capriscooter or GetYourGuide for around €95–€100 per day.
However, the island's narrow roads, lack of guardrails, and speeding local buses make it a nerve-wracking experience for beginners.
Alternatives for getting around include:
Funicolare:
The quickest, cheapest way to get from Marina Grande to Capri town.
Public Buses:
Affordable but can get very crowded in the summer.
Open-top Taxis:
The safest, most relaxing way to navigate the hairpin turns of the island.
