Planning your first trip to Key West? Get ready for sunshine, island vibes, and one of the most fun and efficient ways to explore the island — scooter rentals!
Whether you’re in town for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, renting a scooter in Key West is the perfect way to cruise past traffic, find parking with ease, and soak in everything the island has to offer.
At A&M Scooters, we help visitors enjoy smooth, safe, and stylish transportation, right from the heart of Old Town Key West.
Why Choose a Scooter in Key West?
Key West is only about 4 miles long and 2 miles wide, making it ideal for scooters. Here’s why renting one makes sense:
✅ Skip the Traffic: Cars can get bogged down, especially in Old Town. Scooters glide past bottlenecks.
✅ Easy Parking: Forget hunting for a spot. Scooters can park almost anywhere legally — even in tight downtown spaces.
✅ Fuel-Efficient & Eco-Friendly: Our scooters are fuel-efficient, and some models are electric, making them ideal for environmentally conscious travelers.
✅ Fun & Island-Friendly: You’ll feel the breeze, hear the island sounds, and be part of the local vibe.
Do You Need a License?
Yes. To legally rent and ride a scooter in Florida, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have a valid driver’s license (a motorcycle endorsement is not required for 50cc scooters)
- Wear eye protection (helmets recommended, especially for new riders)
At AM Scooters, we’ll walk you through everything — from choosing the right model to understanding local laws.
First-Time Scooter Rider? No Problem!
If you’ve never ridden a scooter before, don’t worry — most of our first-time customers haven’t either. Our team provides:
- Safety instruction
- Scooter operation tips
- Test rides in a safe area before you hit the road
We want you to ride with confidence and enjoy your Key West experience without stress.
