Choosing a golf cart in Key West can get confusing fast. There are electric and gas options, and each one is available in two, four, six, or even eight-seat versions, with corresponding price points. If the choices are starting to blur together, all you need to do is breathe.
The guide below explains every cart in plain language so you can pick the right size in about a minute and focus on the fun parts of your trip.
1. Electric vs Gas: What’s the Difference?
Electric carts move almost silently, don’t make any noise, and can be charged overnight for very little money. They are great if you prefer rides that are quiet and leave a smaller environmental footprint.
Gas carts have a smooth engine hum and a slightly longer range, which is useful for long trips where you won’t be near an outlet. Their top speed on the island is the same, which is about 25 mph, and they can both park in the same small bays.
2. 2-Seater Electric (Couples’ Cruiser)
It’s small, quick, and simple to park outside that secret taco stand. Their prices start at $80 for two hours, and three days cost about $470. They are perfect for travelers who prefer to travel alone or with a partner who likes to carry light luggage.
3. 4-Seater Electric (Family Favorite)
You can fit two adults in the front, two kids (or bags) on the back bench, and other things under the seats. The price range is the same as the two-seater, making it a great deal with double the seating capacity.
4. 6-Seater Electric (Quiet Crew Carrier)
You can keep the team together and still whisper through Old Town together. You can take one for a Short spin at $140 for three hours. But if you’ll be staying for long, you can consider the three-day option that costs about $725, or go for even longer days.
5. 4-Seater Gas (Classic Compact)
Do you love the sound of an engine or the feel when you handle one or do you want to go to even farther beaches? Then this is the perfect one for you. For two hours, this cart costs $80, and for three days, it costs about $470, the same as the electric four-seater.
6. 6-Seater Gas (Range King)
It has six seats, a full tank, and a “go anywhere” attitude, which makes it perfect for fishing charter mornings that turn into chases at sunset. You can expect to pay around $140 for three hours and $725 for three days.
7. 8-Seater Upgrade (Limited Inventory)
Got two families or a bachelor squad? Our eight-seater gas carts let everyone ride together, share coolers, and halve parking stress. Inventory is tight—book these first.
8. Rental Requirements Snapshot
- Age and License: Drivers 18 and older with a valid license (foreign passports are also accepted) can rent from A&M Rentals. Many places require drivers 22 and older, so you’re already ahead of the game with us.
- Road rules: Stay on streets posted at ≤ 35 mph; US-1 is off-limits.
