Why choose a gas golf cart over electric in Key West?

Gas carts never need charging, so they're ideal for all-day driving, cruise port day trips, and trips to Stock Island. Electric carts are quieter but require overnight charging access at your hotel or rental.

Do I need to refuel a gas golf cart rental?

Carts are delivered with fuel. Key West is only 4 miles long, so a tank lasts a long time — if you do need a top-up on a multi-day rental, any regular gas station works.

Are gas golf carts street legal in Key West?

Yes. All gas carts are registered Low-Speed Vehicles with seatbelts, lights, and plates, legal on every Key West road posted 35 MPH or less.

⛽ Gas vs. Electric — The Honest Comparison

Range: Gas wins. Drive sunrise to last call without thinking about a battery gauge.
Cruise day trips: Gas is the default for port visitors - maximum island coverage in limited hours.
Noise: Electric is quieter for slow Old Town cruising.
Charging: Electric needs an overnight outlet at your hotel; gas needs nothing.

🚨 Local Pro Tip: Staying on Stock Island (Perry Hotel, Oceans Edge)? Choose gas - the extra distance to Old Town and back makes unlimited range worth it.
