INSURANCE

A note about cost and insurance: all of our Vespas are fully third-party insured, but please note that Italian insurance does not cover any damage you make to the vehicle, and therefore we offer an additional insurance to reduce your deductible from the full value of the vehicle (from €5000 to €6000, it depends on the vehicle) to €800 or €1200.

ADDITIONAL VIP INSURANCE

Since it is not possible to insure vehicles with comprehensive insurance, the Customer acknowledges that the value of the vehicle used varies from €5,000 to €6,500. NTSR therefore offers supplemental insurance coverage to cover any costs for damage to the vehicle during the rental period. THE COST OF THIS SUPPLEMENTARY INSURANCE IS €20 or €30 per day. Any costs for recovery of vehicles damaged by customer negligence, additional damage, scraping of vehicles caused by non-repairable damage, fines, and theft are NOT COVERED by this supplemental insurance.

The Customer acknowledges that this amount will be charged in full, even for rentals of less than a day. The deductible for this supplemental insurance remains agreed on at a value of €800 to €1,200 for scooters.

SAFETY

A Vespa or scooter 125 is not a toy, not a bicycle, not a moped. It is a small motorcycle that weighs approximately 250 pounds, can move at 50 mph, and has small wheels. In spite of its “cool” appearance, a Vespa is not an easy vehicle to ride for a beginner Even if riding a scooter is a fun activity, it entails some risks; the helmet we give you are not a guarantee that you will not hurt or kill yourself (or someone else) if you are not competent to ride a scooter on open roads, with climbs, descents, twisting roads, turns, and of course traffic.

No refund is due in case you show up and you realize on the spot you are not able to properly ride the vehicle you booked: it will be considered a no show and charged accordingly (see our cancellation policy below)

DAMAGE-RELATED COSTS AND EXTRA CHARGES

Please be aware that we will charge you for any damage you cause to the scooter, and even a small accident could cost you several hundred euro. The Vespa with its metal body is an EXTREMELY expensive vehicle to repair.

We pride ourselves on transparency. Our scooters are kept in beautiful conditions, and we believe customers should always know what to expect: You can view some examples of possibe damages and repair costs here: https://tuscanyscooterrental.com/damage/
