Scooter in Rome - only if you are very brave, aggressive, alert and a bit crazy. The Italians are crazy drivers and I wouldn't recommend driving in any of the bigger cities. There is an abundance of public transportation (and your feet!) to get you where you need to go.
Venice - don't think they allow scooters on the island. On Lido - Yes! But not on Venice proper. I'm afraid you'll have to rely on public transportation and your own two feet - but walking is the best way to see and explore Venezia!
Check out http://www.fodors.com/forums/threadselect.jsp?fid=2&tid=34545379 for experiences of other people who have rented scooters in Roma. |

I can't comment on Venice, though I know they tend to stick to boats. =)
As to Rome, however, I'd warn against it. I see at LEAST one scooter accident a week, no joke. Italain drivers are insane! It's just not a good idea if you're fond of your physical well-being. |

I wouldn't recommend it as the drivers in Italy are crazy! I did find this though:
"Cyclò's Car & bike rental is the easiest way to enjoy yourself visiting the most hidden parts of Rome as well as the centre of the city where cars are not allowed.
Guarantee your scooter of choice by pre-booking on our website, payable via secure transaction (thanks to the collaboration with one of the most important Bank in Italy). We can deliver your scooter to any address in Rome, including the Airports, for a consideration of just 10 €.
Not only you can discover how is interesting and funny meeting new friends, but you can also find the comfortable that is to escape from the traffic that involves bus, metro, cars ... that will not allow you to visit every part of this wonderful city.
Remind that you must use an helmet of which you will be provided for without paying any extra. Take in consideration the fact that in Italy the law doesn't allow you to take it off: don't worry, you can choose the helmet that fits better to you!
You can find that even the price in convenient to you, think that we can make particular rates for you in case you need a scooter for more time.
We hope to meet you here in Rome in Via Cavour n° 80 where you can find the best prices never met and the best comfortable and nice scooters you have ever seen.
We wish you have a good holiday and a good driving!!!"
PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!! |

I wouldn't recommend it. Italian drivers are pretty crazy, I saw many scooter accidents and near-accidents when I lived in Rome. It's easy to navigate the city by foot and by public transportation (metro/bus).
In Venice, I don't think they allow scooters, and if they did you'd have a terrible time what with all the bridges. I suggest you walk. You're on an island, so you can't get that lost!!!
buon viaggio! |
