 | | Car rental in Key West: Go “topless” with a Convertible | | | Key West is home to all of the major car rental companies and some specialized local firms as well and nearly all offer convertible car rental options as well as hardtop and electric vehicles.
Driving around this pretty island city in a convertible is very relaxing and if you choose to take day trips along the ocean highway US 1, you will encounter one of the most scenic driving experiences in the USA, with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other.
Perhaps for the days you spend in Key West, you may choose to rent an electric car, which is smaller and easier to maneuver. These electric rental cars are locally known as “conch cruisers” and due to the tight layout of Key West, and an apparent lack of parking, they are a good option compared to traditional vehicles. But they are relatively expensive starting at around $60 for just a few hours.
When driving in Key West, be wary of pedestrians as walking is very popular, and make sure you stick to the speed limits as these are strictly enforced with large penalties for speeding.
You will need a credit card and driver’s license and must be over 21 years of age. It is advisable to take out extra insurance and there are plenty of gas stations in the area. | | | | | | |  | | Compare Cheap Car Rentals Deals | | |
