Key West golf cart FAQs
Can I drive a rental golf cart on Duval Street?
Yes. Key West's rental carts are street-legal LSVs allowed on any street posted 35 mph or less, and nearly every city street, including Duval, qualifies. Many drivers prefer parallel streets like Simonton or Whitehead, which carry less traffic. No city ordinance banning carts from Duval was found when these rules were reviewed (August 2026).
Do I need a special license to rent a cart in Key West?
No — a standard valid driver's license is all Florida law requires. Rental companies set their own minimum ages, commonly 21 to 25, so check the operator's terms before booking.
Can I take the cart to Stock Island or up the Keys?
Never up the Keys: carts are not allowed on US-1 / the Overseas Highway or on the bridges. Stock Island depends on the operator — some permit it on streets posted 35 mph or less, others restrict rentals to Key West proper. Confirm the range rule with your operator.
What does a golf cart rental cost in Key West?
Observed September 2026: full-day rates for 4-passenger street-legal carts ran roughly $100 to $190 depending on the operator, with 6-passenger carts higher and weekly rates roughly $650 to $1,100. Several operators also rent by the hour for cruise-ship port days. Rates change seasonally — each listing shows what we last observed, and the operator confirms final pricing.
Where do you park a golf cart in Key West?
In standard car parking spaces, which in Old Town are usually metered or paid. Carts may not be parked on sidewalks. Parking scarcity is the main reason visitors choose a cart over a rental car here.
