Exploring the island of Key West is all about soaking up the sunshine, enjoying the scenery, and moving at your own pace. When it comes to getting around, electric cart rentals — also known as street-legal golf carts — are becoming the top choice for travelers who want convenience, comfort, and style.
At A&M Scooters Key West, we offer a range of clean, eco-friendly electric carts that are perfect for touring the island. Whether you’re traveling with your family, friends, or wedding party, here’s why electric carts are one of the smartest transportation options on the island.
- Stress-Free Island Travel
Key West streets are narrow, parking is limited, and traffic can get backed up near popular tourist areas like Duval Street, Mallory Square, and the Historic Seaport. Driving a full-size car around the island? Not fun.
Electric carts offer:
✅ Easy maneuverability in tight spaces
✅ Simple, legal parking in designated cart zones
✅ Fewer restrictions than larger vehicles
✅ No fuel needed — just plug in and go!
And unlike full-size car rentals, you won’t need to worry about expensive daily parking fees or navigating tight hotel parking lots.
- Great for Families, Friends & Groups
Whether you’re on a family vacation, a girls’ weekend, or visiting for a destination wedding, electric carts make it easy to stick together and share the experience.
At A&M Scooters, we offer:
- 2-Seater Carts – Great for couples or light travel
- 4-Seater Carts – Ideal for families or double dates
- 6-Seater Carts – Perfect for groups, reunions, or wedding parties
Everyone gets a seat, a breeze, and a view — and your group can travel together instead of splitting into multiple vehicles.
- Eco-Friendly and Quiet
Key West takes pride in its natural beauty and sustainability efforts, and electric carts fit right in. With zero emissions and minimal noise, these carts help preserve the peaceful charm of the island.

- Easy to Drive — No Experience Needed
Electric carts are simple to operate — just like driving a small automatic car. Most drivers get the hang of it in minutes.
To rent and drive one of our carts, you only need:
- To be 21 years or older
- A valid driver’s license
- Basic understanding of road rules and right-of-way
Not sure where to go? Our staff provides maps and personalized route suggestions so you can start your adventure with confidence.
- Go Where Cars Can (Almost) — But Park Easier
Electric carts are street-legal on roads with speed limits of 35 mph or lower, which includes almost all of Key West.
Popular cart-accessible locations include:
Fort Zachary Taylor State Park – Ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and picnicking
Key West Cemetery – Quiet, shaded roads with fascinating history
Smathers Beach & Higgs Beach – Easy beachfront access and relaxed parking
Historic Seaport – Dockside dining and sightseeing
Duval Street – Park nearby and walk to all the action

- Save Time, Energy & Money
Compared to cars, taxis, or rideshares, electric carts offer a budget-friendly and time-efficient way to explore the island:
No waiting for Uber
️ Less money spent on parking
⛽ Zero gas expenses
More time at attractions, less time in traffic
With cart rentals starting around $100/day (and discounts for multi-day rentals), it’s one of the best values for island transportation.
- See More, Do More
With your own electric cart, you can build a custom itinerary or just cruise where the breeze takes you. Unlike trolleys or tour buses, you’re in charge of the stops, the schedule, and the soundtrack.
Want a few scenic route suggestions? We’ll highlight:
- Best selfie spots
- Local food trucks and island bites
- Quiet neighborhoods with old island charm
- Hidden boutiques and galleries
