Frequently Asked QuestionsFAQ
The answers provided below are based on answers previously given to customers' questions.
Where is the meeting point for this activity?
Detailed check-in instructions – including meeting point address, Google map, and parking information – for Key West 1 Seater VINO Scooter Rental will be included in your confirmation email from Cool Destinations. Please be sure to double and triple check your email address is correct at checkout so this important email makes its way to you!
Where can I park my car?
If required, parking instructions for the Key West 1 Seater VINO Scooter Rental will be included in your confirmation email.
What is the weather cancellation policy?
If the Key West 1 Seater VINO Scooter Rental must be canceled due to bad weather, and you cannot go on another day or time, you will be issued a refund by Cool Destinations.
How old should you be to drive a Scooter?
Much like a regular car or truck, the driver must be 18 years or older and have a valid driver’s license. Any passengers should be tall enough to reach the foot pedals (usually 8 or 9 years old).
How old do you have to be to rent a scooter?
You must be at least 18 years old to rent a scooter in Key West and only the person on the rental agreement can drive the scooter. The rules covering rental and private vehicles are different as is the case in most states. You may occasionally see younger riders because Florida law allows anyone 16 and up with a driver’s license to ride a motor scooter on the road. Those young riders will be local residents with their own scooters, not the children or young friends of Key West visitors. And remember, scooter riders (electric cars and golf carts too) must follow the same laws that apply to other motor vehicles. This includes being issued a DUI citation should you get caught riding while intoxicated.
How late can I get the free shuttle?
Free shuttle service available from 8am until 10pm daily is included with every Key West scooter and electric car rental. All the information you need to take advantage of the shuttle when picking up or dropping off your vehicle will be sent in an email when your booking is completed. You can also contact our customer service representatives if you have further questions.
How fast do your scooters go?
All Key West rental scooters have a top speed of 40 mph. Their 49cc engines are designed to fall below the engine size and top speed levels that would require a scooter to be licensed as motorcycles in most states. If the engine were larger, riders would also need to have a motorcycle endorsement on their driver’s license. Scooters cannot be ridden on Florida highways, which generally have a 40mph minimum speed. An important exception is South Roosevelt Blvd along the island’s south shoreline. Although it is technically part of US Highway A1A, the speed limit on Roosevelt is 30mph, so it is fine to ride a scooter to popular spots like Higgs Beach, the Edward B. Knight Pier, and Smathers Beach.
How do I return a scooter or an electric car after hours?
If you need to return a scooter or electric car after hours, simply drive to the rental center and park where the other vehicles are parked. You may drop the keys in the after-hours drop box located at the rental check-out booth.
Do you provide a pickup service from the airport, cruise ship port, ferry, or our hotel?
Yes, Cool Destinations is happy to offer complimentary customer pick-up from anywhere in Key West, including the airport, cruise ship port, ferry, or your hotel. Your Key West 1 Seater VINO Scooter Rental email confirmation will contain a local phone number to coordinate your pickup. Avoid expensive taxis and high price parking, and let Cool Destinations make your vacation easy.
Do you offer pick up at one location and drop off at another?
Yes, you may request a shuttle drop-off at a different location within Key West.
Can you drive a scooter or electric car outside of the island of Key West?
No. You can drive only within the city limits of Key West. Under Florida law, highways are off-limits to electric cars, golf carts, and scooters of all types because the minimum highway speed is set at 40mph except for certain exceptions in congested areas. Scooters can reach a maximum of 40mph but this would be quite risky unless you are an expert rider. Key West electric cars and golf carts have lower top speeds.
All of the streets on the island of Key West have posted speed limits of 30mph or less, so you can go anywhere on the island. This includes South Roosevelt Blvd. which is technically part of US highway A1A. The speed limit in Old Town is 20mph, so these vehicles are very useful for getting around the heart of Key West. The Key West city limits include most of Stock Island, and US1 crosses on to Stock Island with a 35mph limit, but be very careful of the busy highway traffic. An easy rule of thumb is to consider the CVS on the eastern edge of Stock Island as your travel limit.
Can I let my child under 18 years old drive a scooter or electric car by themselves?
No, because you must be at least 18 years old to rent a scooter and 22 years old to rent an electric car. Only the person who enters into the vehicle rental agreement may operate the vehicle. Therefore, the minimum age for drivers will be 18 and 22 years old respectively. We apologize for any inconvenience, but rules like this are standard at any U.S. rental car agency and are required by insurance regulations.

The only way to see Key West!
Michael B, Jan 2023 Verified
First - book directly with Hydro Thunder. TripAdvisor does a poor job of explaining exactly where you need to go to pick up the scooters - this was a theme we realized across multiple booked activities and excursions. Once we sorted all that out, we had a wonderful experience with Hydro Thunder. They were flexible with us, took the time to explain how to use the Vespas we rented (they are quite heavy) and got us all set up. We absolutely loved the experience of riding around Key West in the sunshine and seeing the city up close and personal. Highly recommend Hydro Thunder!
Perfect scooter
Steve N, Nov 2022 Verified
The company runs like a well oilled machine. The very one has a roll in taking care of the customer. When we got to our location via the scooter shuttle bus, our scooter was ready. The scooter was in great shape. It wasn’t beat up like others Ives seen at other places. The scooter ran like a champ.

My son has some mobility issues, so we decided to rent scooter while in Key West for the day. The staff was great (very funny & helpful), and the scooter worked very well. The rental process was quick and easy. Highly recommend!
Just what we needed
Joan M, Aug 2022 Verified
We upgraded to a golf cart. Easy to rent and easy to return. The only note I would add is, if you drive there by car and pull into the resort parking lot, it’s a mess. No where to park because it’s for guests (understandable) Better to go on the side street next to the check in area.
Great experience
Magen K, Jul 2022 Verified
My husband and I had a blast driving around key west on the 2 person scooter. We visited key west for just a day as a part of our cruise, and the walk to the scooter pick up location was only about 5 minutes from our ship. They were surprisingly very simple to drive and have a little compartment in the seats that locks if you need a storage place. Friendly people working the stand
Awesome Key West 1 Scooter

By far, the best experience ever in renting scooters! The shuttle service is a bonus that is well worth renting from Awesome Key West 1 Scooter.
