Renting a scooter in Key West is one of the simplest ways to get around the island. You have arrived in Key West, you are ready to explore, and you are considering renting a scooter for the first time.
Good choice. But before grabbing the keys and heading toward Old Town, there are a few things every first-time renter should know.
🛵 Choosing Between a One- and Two-Seater
Start with the obvious question: Will you be riding alone?
A&M Rentals offers one-seater and two-seater scooters. A one-seater is a practical option for solo travelers, while the two-seater lets two people travel together without renting separate scooters.
You can review the latest options on A&M’s Key West Scooter Rental page.
📋 Understand the Rental Requirements
A&M states that scooter renters must be at least 18 and have a valid driver’s license or qualifying foreign passport. Current rental information also indicates that gas is included.
Before leaving the rental location, familiarize yourself with the scooter’s controls and ask questions about anything you aren’t comfortable operating.
🐢 Start Slowly
Key West may feel relaxed, but its streets can be busy with cars, bicycles, scooters and pedestrians.
If you’re new to scooters, give yourself time to become comfortable before entering the busiest areas. Follow traffic signals, watch carefully for pedestrians and never assume another driver sees you.
🗺️ Plan a First Ride
One advantage of having a scooter is being able to combine several Key West experiences into one outing.
You might explore Old Town before heading toward the Southernmost Point, continue toward the Atlantic side of the island, and stop at one of the beaches before returning downtown.
A scooter makes it easy to change plans when you spot somewhere interesting.
⏱️ Think About Rental Length
A&M offers shorter rentals as well as daily and multi-day options. If you only want a few hours of sightseeing, you don’t necessarily need a full vacation rental. Travelers planning to use a scooter throughout their stay can compare longer-duration rates instead.
🌴 Make Renting a Scooter in Key West Part of the Trip
Your first scooter rental doesn’t have to be complicated.
Choose the right scooter, learn the controls, follow the road rules and give yourself enough time to enjoy the ride. You’ll quickly discover why scooters are such a natural fit for Key West.
