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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
