Apúrate or date prisa will do.

Hi Guy, welcome to the Forum. You should mention if it is a close friend or someone that you would use 'Usted' with. Do you know about doubleclicking your word for a quick translation?

I've seen "de prisa". Or "date prisa".

This seems the most accurate for 'hurry'. - Chavag, Dec 26, 2010

If you want them to come to you, then "venga" or "ven" is used, depending upon which country you are in.
If you want them to go, as in "let's go," then "vamos" or "vamanos" are common, as in "vamanos, muchachos!"
I've also heard, "andale!" just like in the cartoons!

Do they still have Speedy Gonzales? - lorenzo9, Dec 27, 2010
They might, but Sponge Bob Square Pants (Esponga Bob) is more popular. - JoyceM, Dec 27, 2010

I like both "¡Apúrate!" and "¡Date prisa!"

Guy,
Look in the dictionary for the verb, "apurar," and determine if it is what you want.

¡dése prisa! seems more like a comand
