Thinking of renting an electric cart during your stay in Key West? You’re in for a fun, relaxed, and scenic way to explore the island. Whether you’re here for the day or a long weekend, electric carts, also known as street-legal golf carts, are a top choice for easy transportation.
At A&M Scooters, we make the process simple for first-time renters. In this guide, we’ll cover helpful tips, pricing expectations, and the best routes to make the most of your Key West experience.
Why Rent an Electric Cart in Key West?
Key West is a compact, walkable island, but walking in the heat — or with kids, shopping bags, or beach gear — can be a challenge. That’s where electric carts come in:
✅ No fuel needed — fully electric and eco-friendly
✅ Street legal — drive anywhere a car can (except on highways)
✅ Perfect for groups — available in 2, 4, and 6-seater options
✅ Easy to park — more compact than traditional cars
✅ Fun to drive — open-air, quiet, and stylish

- Driver must be at least 21 years old
- Valid driver’s license (domestic or international)
- Credit card for the rental and security deposit
- Agreement to obey traffic laws — carts are treated like cars on public roads
We’ll provide a quick safety demo before you hit the road — even if it’s your first time driving one.
