Rome is a city full of history, art, and breathtaking views, but often chaotic to explore by car. For those who want to move quickly, avoid traffic, and experience the city in a sustainable way, electric scooters are a practical and affordable solution.
How E-Scooter Rentals Work
- Download the app: several companies operate in Rome (Lime, Dott, Bird, Tier, etc.). Simply download the app on your smartphone.
- Register and unlock the scooter: create an account, add your details and a payment method. With the app, you can locate the nearest scooter and unlock it by scanning the QR code.
- Rates: usually there’s a start fee (about €1) plus a per-minute charge (between €0.20 and €0.30). Some apps also offer daily passes or packages.
- Traffic rules: scooters can circulate on bike lanes and urban streets up to 50 km/h, with a speed limit of 20 km/h (6 km/h in pedestrian areas). Riding on sidewalks is forbidden.
Where to Park E-Scooters
Scooters must be parked in authorized areas, marked on the app. Avoid blocking entrances, shops, or sidewalks to prevent fines.
Why It’s Worth It
- Skip traffic and reach your destination in just a few minutes.
- Eco-friendly and practical way to move around.
- Use it only when you need it, without worrying about fuel or parking.
