Key West 2 Seater Deluxe Scooter Rental

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.

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.

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).

No, we do not require a security deposit for your Key West 2 Seater Deluxe Scooter Rental.

The operational surcharge covers ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the vehicles.

If you’re having issues filling out your waiver online, fear not; you may do so at check-in.

Only the drivers need to sign a waiver.

While there are a few free parking spots in Key West, most spots are metered or in paid lots. The meters take credit cards and, sad to say, cost about the same as other cities in the US.

You’ll return the vehicle to the original check-in location. If it’s after our 6:00 PM closing time, simply park it and leave the keys in our after-hours dropbox.

The area is under heavy video surveillance, so rest assured, you will get credit for bringing back our baby (just be sure to lock it up, please).

We don’t deliver vehicles but can pick you up from your hotel and bring you to the shop for check-in.

Unfortunately, we don’t have space at our rental depot, but there is paid street parking and a large parking lot at the bight (A&B Marina).

Having a driver’s license is mandatory for a Key West 2 Seater Deluxe Scooter Rental.

We don’t provide or offer vehicle insurance for your Key West 2 Seater Deluxe Scooter Rental; you will use your existing car insurance.

No, because you must be at least 18 to rent and drive a scooter and at least 22 to rent and drive an electric car or golf cart.

In addition, only the person entering the vehicle rental agreement may operate the vehicle.

We apologize for any inconvenience. Rules like this are standard at any U.S. rental car agency and are required by insurance regulations.

You can only drive off the island within the Key West city limits. An easy rule of thumb is to consider the CVS on the eastern edge of Stock Island as your travel limit.

This is because, under Florida law, highways are off-limits to smaller vehicles such as electric cars, golf carts, and scooters, which do not reach the minimum highway speed of 40mph.

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 onto Stock Island with a 35mph limit, but be very careful of the busy highway traffic.
