Key West 4 Seater Electric Car Rental

Yes, car seats are required: Florida law requires children aged 5 and under to be properly secured in a crash-tested, federally approved child restraint device.

We provide them free of charge; request one during your rental pick-up.

Yes, pets are allowed.

In Key West, you’ll find a mix of Level 2 and some DC fast charging stations, typically in public parking areas, hotels, and popular destinations. Here are a few places to check out for EV charging:

Public Parking Garages and Lots

• Key West Historic Seaport – Located near the downtown area and has Level 2 charging.
• Mallory Square Parking Lot – Close to popular attractions and offers Level 2 charging.

Hotels with Charging Stations

• Many hotels, such as The Reach Key West and Casa Marina Key West, provide EV chargers for guests.
• If you’re staying at a hotel, call ahead to confirm charger availability.

Retail and Grocery Stores

• Publix Supermarket on N Roosevelt Blvd sometimes has EV chargers in its parking areas.

Fully charging an EV often takes 4-8 hours. We also have gas-powered cart options. 

Our electric cars can comfortably seat passengers up to 6′ 8″.

That’s well above our pay grade. Since it’s outside the Key West city limits, where rental vehicles are not allowed, it would have to be with a special agreement you make with the base.

Good luck, and we hope you get something figured out. Thank you for your service.

No, our vehicles do not have a radio.

Yes

Our electric cars have a lockable storage compartment for small items, and you can leave larger luggage items at the rental depot for a few hours.

They can reach speeds of up to 25 mph.

Yes, multi-day rentals come with a charger. Most accommodations in Key West allow EV charging. Be sure to double-check, just in case.

Only a standard foldable wheelchair can fit in the compartment.

Our Key West 4 Seater Electric Car Rentals can comfortably seat individuals up to 6 ft 8 in (80 in/203 cm) tall.

The electric cars can run for up to 20 miles (around 8 hours). 

City of Key West ordinances forbid overnight parking on downtown streets, parks, and beaches.

You may park your car overnight at your guesthouse or Airbnb (take care not to park in spaces marked “residential” or you’ll get towed), at your hotel if allowed, or in the parking lot of the Hyatt Centric Hotel, located at 601 Front St, Key West, FL 33040.

Yes, it has a lockable compartment at the back.

The main difference is that in 4-seater electric cars, all the seats face forward, whereas in gas-powered 4-seater golf carts, the two back seats face the rear.

The electric cars are smoother and quieter, while the gas golf carts are more “fun.”

Yes, we have seats available in several sizes. Florida child seat laws are the same for any car including electric cars and golf carts – all children under the age of 5 years old or weighing less than 70lbs must be in a child safety seat. Every passenger must have their own seat with seat belts and no one can be held on another person’s lap.

The electric cars have a top speed of 26 mph. This is perfect for getting around the narrow streets of Key West’s Historic Old Town, where the speed limit is 20mph.

The top speed on any street on the island is 30mph, but traffic often limits drivers’ speeds. Remember that battery life in any electric vehicle is related to the average speed the driver maintains, vehicle load, and other factors. When higher constant speeds are maintained, the battery discharges faster.

No, we do not require a security deposit for your Key West 4 Seater Electric Car Rental.

The operational surcharge covers ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the vehicles.

If you’re having issues filling out your waiver online, fear not; you may do so at check-in.

Only the drivers need to sign a waiver.

While there are a few free parking spots in Key West, most spots are metered or in paid lots. The meters take credit cards and, sad to say, cost about the same as other cities in the US.

You’ll return the vehicle to the original check-in location. If it’s after our 6:00 PM closing time, simply park it and leave the keys in our after-hours dropbox.

The area is under heavy video surveillance, so rest assured, you will get credit for bringing back our baby (just be sure to lock it up, please).

We don’t deliver vehicles but can pick you up from your hotel and bring you to the shop for check-in.

Unfortunately, we don’t have space at our rental depot, but there is paid street parking and a large parking lot at the bight (A&B Marina).

Having a driver’s license is mandatory for a Key West 4 Seater Electric Car Rental.

We don’t provide or offer vehicle insurance for your Key West 4 Seater Electric Car Rental; you will use your existing car insurance.

No, because you must be at least 18 to rent and drive a scooter and at least 22 to rent and drive an electric car or golf cart.

In addition, only the person entering the vehicle rental agreement may operate the vehicle.

We apologize for any inconvenience. Rules like this are standard at any U.S. rental car agency and are required by insurance regulations.

You can only drive off the island within the Key West city limits. An easy rule of thumb is to consider the CVS on the eastern edge of Stock Island as your travel limit.

This is because, under Florida law, highways are off-limits to smaller vehicles such as electric cars, golf carts, and scooters, which do not reach the minimum highway speed of 40mph.

All of the streets on the island of Key West have posted speed limits of 30mph or less, so you can go anywhere on the island. This includes South Roosevelt Blvd., which is technically part of US Highway A1A.

The speed limit in Old Town is 20mph, so these vehicles are very useful for getting around the heart of Key West. The Key West city limits include most of Stock Island, and US1 crosses onto Stock Island with a 35mph limit, but be very careful of the busy highway traffic.
