- 2023 Vespa fleet
- Prior booking required
- €500 damage deposit
A Funchal hire shop running new 125cc Vespas, the Primavera and the GTS Super Sport, with the helmets, jacket and gloves to ride them in. It suits riders who already know a scooter and want the island’s coast roads and viewpoints at their own pace.
About Vespa Madeira Scooter Rent
The shop is a unit on Rua Imperatriz Dona Amélia, in central Funchal a short walk up from the harbour, and the fleet is two machines rather than a yard of mixed scooters: the Vespa Primavera 125 and the GTS Super Sport 125, both 2023 bikes. A rental goes out with two helmets, a jacket, gloves, a top case and a phone holder, insured for third party damage with roadside assistance, and the kilometres are unlimited. Scooters are hired by the whole day, the pick-up and return days both count, and you bring it back with the fuel it left with. The company behind it is Magia Imediata, registered as a tourist entertainment operator under RNAAT nº 499/2024.
The same door runs guided tours, on their Vespas behind an English speaking guide, with hotel pick-up if you need it: a three and a half or seven hour loop through Funchal, Câmara de Lobos and Cabo Girão, a seven hour mountain run taking in Monte, Pico do Arieiro, the Levada dos Balcões walk at Ribeiro Frio and Porto da Cruz, a three hour ride up to Curral das Freiras, and a two hour evening ride around the Funchal Christmas lights. Tours are quoted on request rather than priced on the site, they carry a 30% booking fee, and the operator is clear that they are not the place to sit on a scooter for the first time. If the whole trip is going to run on two wheels, our guide to staying in Madeira without a car covers what else moves on the island.
