Description

For the ultimate in compact convenience and fuel economy, the Vino 1-seater scooter is a perfect Key West transportation choice. See the sights of the island up close and smell the tropical blooms in the wind over the handlebars as the efficient 4-stroke engine purrs. The Vino is known for its reliability, power, and comfort on the scooter-crowded roads of Asia and Europe, but besides practicality, pure pleasure is another reason Key West locals love to ride scooters. The Vino is a perfect choice for fun, speedy, and nimble solo travel through Old Town and around Key West. Easy online reservations and flexible rental slots from 3 hours to 24 hours or more make a Key West scooter rental the convenient, affordable, and exciting choice for island touring.

Frequently Asked QuestionsFAQ

The answers provided below are based on answers previously given to travelers by the Key West Water Sports customer support team.

Do you offer pick up at one location and drop off at another?

Yes, you may request a shuttle drop-off at a different location within Key West.

Do you provide a pickup service?

Yes, Key West Water Sports is happy to offer complimentary customer pick-up from any hotel or vacation home in Key West, as well as the Key West Express ferry dock. We do not pick up from the airport or the cruise ship dock, although our rental location is just two blocks from the port, making it easy to walk. Your Key West 1 Seater Scooter Rental email confirmation will contain a local phone number to coordinate your pickup. Avoid expensive taxis and high price parking, and let Key West Water Sports make your vacation easy.

How fast do your scooters go?

All Key West rental scooters have a top speed of 40 mph. Their 49cc engines are designed to fall below the engine size and top speed levels that would require a scooter to be licensed as motorcycles in most states. If the engine were larger, riders would also need to have a motorcycle endorsement on their driver’s license. Scooters cannot be ridden on Florida highways, which generally have a 40mph minimum speed. An important exception is South Roosevelt Blvd along the island’s south shoreline. Although it is technically part of US Highway A1A, the speed limit on Roosevelt is 30mph, so it is fine to ride a scooter to popular spots like Higgs Beach, the Edward B. Knight Pier, and Smathers Beach.

How old do you have to be to rent a scooter?

You must be at least 18 years old to rent a scooter in Key West and only the person on the rental agreement can drive the scooter. The rules covering rental and private vehicles are different as is the case in most states. You may occasionally see younger riders because Florida law allows anyone 16 and up with a driver’s license to ride a motor scooter on the road. Those young riders will be local residents with their own scooters, not the children or young friends of Key West visitors. And remember, scooter riders (electric cars and golf carts too) must follow the same laws that apply to other motor vehicles. This includes being issued a DUI citation should you get caught riding while intoxicated.

How old should you be to drive a Scooter?

Much like a regular car or truck, the driver must be 18 years or older and have a valid driver’s license. Any passengers should be tall enough to reach the foot pedals (usually 8 or 9 years old).

Can I let my child under 18 years old drive a scooter or electric car by themselves?

No, because you must be at least 18 years old to rent a scooter and 22 years old to rent an electric car. Only the person who enters into the vehicle rental agreement may operate the vehicle. Therefore, the minimum age for drivers will be 18 and 22 years old respectively. We apologize for any inconvenience, but rules like this are standard at any U.S. rental car agency and are required by insurance regulations.

Can you deliver our rental vehicle to our location?

No, we cannot deliver rental vehicles to your location. Check-in must be completed at our centrally located rental depot.

Can you drive a scooter or electric car outside of the island of Key West?

No. You can drive only within the city limits of Key West. Under Florida law, highways are off-limits to electric cars, golf carts, and scooters of all types because the minimum highway speed is set at 40mph except for certain exceptions in congested areas. Scooters can reach a maximum of 40mph but this would be quite risky unless you are an expert rider. Key West electric cars and golf carts have lower top speeds.

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 on to Stock Island with a 35mph limit, but be very careful of the busy highway traffic. An easy rule of thumb is to consider the CVS on the eastern edge of Stock Island as your travel limit.

How do I return a scooter or an electric car after hours?

If you need to return a scooter or electric car after hours, simply drive to the rental center and park where the other vehicles are parked. You may drop the keys in the after-hours drop box located at the rental check-out booth.

How do I setup the Free Shuttle for Key West 1 Seater VINO Scooter Rental?

If you plan on using the free shuttle to the rental location, please follow the instructions below to set it up:

  • If your booking is THREE (3) OR MORE DAYS OUT:
    Please call the local phone number on your confirmation email the day before your booking.
  • If your booking is for TODAY OR TOMORROW:
    Please call the local phone number on your confirmation email today.
  • Information for CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS:
    The rental location is a ten (10) minute’s walk from the port, so it may be quicker for you to walk over rather than wait for the shuttle.

How late can I get the free shuttle?

Free shuttle service available from 8am until 10pm daily is included with every Key West scooter and electric car rental. All the information you need to take advantage of the shuttle when picking up or dropping off your vehicle will be sent in an email when your booking is completed. You can also contact our customer service representatives if you have further questions.

What is the weather cancellation policy?

If the Key West 1 Seater Scooter Rental must be canceled due to bad weather, and you cannot go on another day or time, you will be issued a refund by Key West Water Sports.

Where can I park my car?

If required, parking instructions for the Key West 1 Seater Scooter Rental will be included in your confirmation email.

Where is the meeting point for this activity?

Please be sure to double and triple check your email address is correct at checkout so this important email makes its way to you!
