Key West Golf Cart, Scooter and Bike Rentals: What They Actually Cost

A golf cart carries four to six people and starts at $99–$150 depending on the operator and how many hours you take; a scooter carries one or two and starts at $39; a bike is $15–$20 for the whole day, and the island is four miles long. That is the whole decision. Everything below is the detail that changes which of those three you should book — how the hourly ladders work, which companies turn away renters under 21 or 22 at the counter, and who will bring the thing to your hotel.

One thing to know before any of the cards: every price here was checked against the operator's live booking calendar on the day this was written, for four separate dates across the next two months. The number on the card is the cheapest tier the operator actually sells, and the duration next to it is what that number buys.

How Rental Pricing Works Here: It's a Ladder, Not a Day Rate

Nobody in Key West rents a cart "for the day" at one price. Every operator sells a ladder of durations, and the short rungs are much cheaper than the 24-hour rung. Island Style Ride is the clearest example: the same four-seat cart is $99 for four hours, $119 for eight, and $139 for 24 hours. Fun Rentals runs the same shape — $125 for four hours (back by 5 PM), $139 for the day (also back by 5 PM), $159 for a true 24 hours. Sunset Watersports at the Casa Marina starts lower and shorter: $100 for three hours, $130 for five, $155 for eight, $190 for a day.

Read the ladder against your actual day. If you're off a ship at 9 AM and back aboard by 3, the four-hour tier is the correct purchase and the 24-hour tier is $40 of cart you'll never sit in. If you're staying three nights and want wheels the whole time, the math flips: Keys Kartz sells its Key West four-seater at a flat $130 per day and $840 for seven, Island Style's week is $639, and Paradise Rentals' is $900 — and at that point the day rate is the only rung that matters. Pick the rung, not the product.

Age Rules: Who Gets Turned Away at Pickup

This is the part nobody prints on the booking page until you're standing at the counter. The age to rent a cart in Key West is not a state rule; it's set per operator, and it is enforced at pickup, not at checkout. Book a cart at 20 with the wrong company and you'll have a confirmation email and no cart.

Here is what each operator's own booking terms say, quoted from the tier notes on the listings above:

• Sunset Watersports (Casa Marina carts): every rental tier is listed "Ages 22+."
• Conch Carts: "Must be 22 years or older to rent | Valid drivers license required. Proof of Insurance Required." — the only operator on this list that asks for proof of insurance.
• Fun Rentals: carts are "Ages 21+" on the all-day, 24-hour and multi-day tiers; the ScootCoupe side-by-side scooters are "Ages 21+" on every tier; bike rentals are "Ages 18+."
• Island Style Ride: its six-seater cart listing reads "Ages 21+"; the four-seater, scooter and bike listings carry no age line.

Fury, Mile 0, Keys Kartz, Paradise Rentals and The Key Rides publish no age requirement in their booking tiers, which means we can't tell you what they enforce — assume a valid driver's license at minimum and ask before you book if anyone in the group is under 25. The practical rule: if your driver is 21, Fun Rentals and Island Style will rent; if your driver is under 22, Sunset Watersports and Conch Carts will not.

Delivery: Who Brings It to You

Three of these operators come to you, and one of them has a catch. Island Style Ride delivers everything it rents — carts, scooters, bikes — and its listings say so plainly: "We come to you. Please book the time you would like us to deliver." Key Lime Bike Tours delivers and picks up bikes "from your hotel or guesthouse free of charge." Mile 0 Rentals delivers its carts too, but not on the cheapest rung: the $120 four-hour tier carries the note "NO DELIVERY on 4 hour rentals; Must select 8 hour if you want the cart delivered." So Mile 0's delivered price is $150 for eight hours, not $120 — the $120 is real, but you walk to it.

Everyone else is a pickup: Fury at 505 Greene Street by the piers, Sunset Watersports at the Casa Marina, Fun Rentals downtown. For a ship day that's fine — Greene Street is minutes from the cruise gangway. For a hotel stay on the far side of the island, a delivered cart or bike is worth more than the $5–$20 you'd save with a cheaper pickup.

Cruise Day or Overnight? Different Rungs of the Same Ladder

A ship day is a three-to-five-hour window between the gangway opening and all-aboard, and that window is exactly what the short tiers exist for. Fury's three-hour cart ($120) is timed 9:15 AM to 12:15 PM. Sunset Watersports' three-hour ($100), Island Style's four-hour ($99), Mile 0's four-hour ($120) and Fun Rentals' four-hour ($125) all fit inside a port call with room to spare. On a scooter, Island Style's $39 four-hour tier does the same job for one rider; on a bike, $15–$20 covers the day outright. Buy the short rung and spend the difference on lunch.

A multi-day stay changes the math. Once you want the cart for two or three days, the per-day rungs start to matter more than the hourly ones: Keys Kartz at a flat $130 per day, Paradise Rentals at $179 per 24 hours, The Key Rides at $180. For a full week, Island Style's $639 and Keys Kartz's $840 are the numbers to compare. And for a week on two wheels, Island Style's $59 bike or Key Lime's $65 bike is less than a single day in most carts.

FAQ

How much does a golf cart rental cost in Key West?

Four-seat carts start at $99 for four hours (Island Style Ride), $100 for three hours (Sunset Watersports), and $120 for three to four hours (Fury, Mile 0). Full-day and 24-hour tiers run about $139–$190 with the same operators, and Keys Kartz prices its Key West carts flat at $130 per day.

How old do you have to be to rent a golf cart in Key West?

It depends on the operator. Sunset Watersports lists its carts at Ages 22+, and Conch Carts requires renters to be 22 years or older with a valid driver's license and proof of insurance. Fun Rentals gates its carts and ScootCoupes at Ages 21+ and its bikes at Ages 18+. A renter under the cutoff is turned away at pickup, so check the age before you book.

Is a four-hour rental enough for a cruise ship day?

Usually, yes. The island is about four miles end to end, and a ship day is a three-to-five-hour window, which is exactly what the 3-, 4- and 5-hour tiers are built for. Island Style ($99), Sunset Watersports ($100), Fury ($120), Mile 0 ($120) and Fun Rentals ($125) all sell a short cart tier; scooters start at $39 for four hours and a bike is $15–$20 for the day.

Which Key West rental companies deliver?

Island Style Ride delivers carts, scooters and bikes to you. Key Lime Bike Tours delivers and picks up bikes at your hotel or guesthouse free of charge. Mile 0 Rentals does not deliver on its $120 four-hour cart tier — its listing says you must select the eight-hour tier ($150) if you want the cart delivered.
