Me my dad and sister

I've rented from Pirate Scooters four or five times now, and they've been amazing every time. Most recently, I rented from them to celebrate my father's 70th birthday, and the experience was just as fantastic as ever. The scooters are top-notch--practically brand new and run flawlessly. What really sets Pirate Scooters apart is their incredible customer service. The staff are super friendly, always ready to help, and genuinely care about making sure you have a great experience. Plus, the name is spot-on--some of the guys working there look like real pirates, which adds to the charm! Their location is perfect, right in the heart of the action in Key West, making it super convenient to pick up and drop off. Getting around on a scooter transforms your trip--zipping through the island, exploring every corner, and soaking in the sights becomes so much more fun and hassle-free. If you're visiting the Keys, I can't recommend Pirate Scooters enough. They'll make your trip unforgettable!

This was the second year we rented from these guys. They are so nice and will bend over backwards to make sure that you are happy. We rented scooters for the boys and a gas golf cart for my wife and I. The scooters were brand new and we did not have any issues. You can go back and they fill them up for no additional cost. We will rent from them every year.

The ongoing pandemic has definitely taken a toll on a lot of businesses and public places since a consumer's mindset to buy anything outside of essentials or to visit a public place like a park or beach, has crippled down significantly. Now by living with what has become the new normal, it is commendable on how these businesses and public places continue to remain open and cater to the general public by following the safety standards. It is now all the more important that we as customers, support these heroes during these dark hours to mankind. Not every time you would wish "why can't I rate beyond a 5 star?" Well, this is one such business. Their scooters that drive around the 2*2 square miles of Key west is their first advertisement. We were only driving around in our car when we spotted a lot of scooters and that enticed us to try out one of those scooters. We were at our hotel and called them on a fine morning to check if they had pickup to their place and Viola, they did! We had Joe who picked us up in a van and drove us to their place for a scooter pickup. He was a man who knew the place and as we asked him more questions on what to see, where to park, when to visit, he had answers for them all, like a Wikipedia of Key West. He in fact took some detours to show the places that he had mentioned, before getting to Pirates. Our first impression of this place was spot on, right away. The pricing is super nominal and the checkout process was a breeze. We had a guy walk us through the mechanics of the scooter, made us do a quick trial ride and then let us go our ways. Riding a scooter in Keys is the best fun thing to do to traverse through the busy traffic and to find easier parking spots than when you drive a car. Our epic day was almost ruined when we thought we lost our scooter's keys at the Higgs beach and Sean was our savior who turned up in less than 10 minutes with a duplicate and later we returned the scooter too. To our luck, we never lost the key and returned it promptly, the next day to them. Hands down they have one of the best customer services we have experienced and this place is a must try if you are looking to rent scooters/golf carts at the Keys!

SUPER NICE PEOPLE. We rented a scooter during a cruise stop out of Ft Lauderdale to revisit places all over the island we had been before. Being a guy who went from a mini-bike at 12 to a 1962 250cc Harley street/trail at 14 to a 1963 Hog at 18 to a 1984 Honda Nighthawk 700SC ... um, "quite a few years ago". I was all smiles when they asked me to take a turn around the block before letting Patti get on the back. An hour later I was calling them to ask why I couldn't start it ... to have them politely direct my attention to the kill switch that they had pointed out to me when they first went over the scooter with me. I figured I had accidently tripped it while putting the scooter up on its stand. So we had a lovely ride all over the island and upon return I had Patti get off at the curb before tooling into their back lot and asking "where do you want this?". I got off, and in putting the stand down with my right foot for balance and leverage, trapped my left sandal under the stand and ended up with the scooter on top of me. I'm sure I came off looking like the idiot of the week, but these guys had that almost "Aussie-like" demeanor of "no problem mate, it happens here all the time". We thought 50 bucks for three hours was worth every penny to get away from the hordes of tourists and we can testify that you cannot rent from nicer people.

Us driving the scooter

My husband and I had a fantastic experience renting a dual-seater scooter at Pirate Scooter Rentals. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had ridden scooters before, but not a ton, and their instructions were super helpful. They gave tips for navigating the island, including a scenic drive along the southern coast. The pricing is budget-friendly, even for last minute extensions. Would definitely rent from them again!

Five stars for Sunshine Scooters and that's before I even get into the chaos we managed to create…read more If you're looking for the clean, polished version: great customer service, newer equipment, and a crew that'll bend over backwards to get you rolling. There's a reason they're one of the top rental spots in Key West everything from the scooters to the carts is dialed in, and they make exploring the island easy, smooth, and honestly pretty hard to mess up... unless you're us. We started out like responsible adults early morning, clear heads, solid plan: cruise around for a couple hours, take in the island, maybe stop here and there. Somewhere around late morning, though, that plan quietly slipped overboard. Next thing you know, we've got a small fleet scooters buzzing, two carts rolling, music blasting off a Bose speaker, cooler packed like we were prepping for an expedition. We weren't just sightseeing we were inhabiting the island. Drifting through traffic at that slow, salty Key West pace, catching the breeze, waving at strangers, stopping at random corners, parks, and stretches of shade like a bunch of grown men pretending we didn't have responsibilities waiting back home. And then... the nonsense. I didn't know scooters could do wheelies turns out they can. Didn't know golf carts could drift turns out they absolutely will if you find even a whisper of wet pavement (and somehow, we always did). We probably broke every unwritten rule: music too loud, turns too wide, laughter echoing down streets like we owned the place. It wasn't fast, it wasn't reckless in the "life flashing before your eyes" kind of way it was that slow, careless, teenage kind of fun where the world just feels wide open. Looking back, we probably deserved an escort... or at least a warning. But that's the thing those scooters weren't just transportation, they were the excuse. The real experience was just us being us, a little wild, a little dumb, and having the kind of day you can't quite explain without smiling.

We've had some shady experiences in the past when renting ATV's and other scenarios where we rented a vehicle, but our experience with Sunshine Scooters was nothing like that at all. Nancy is the master planner and had already figured out everything we needed to do before arrival. She previously called the store several times before pickup to see what our scooter would cost, if we could park our car here while renting the scooter (which we could), to receive the lowdown on where we could park, and the basic rules of the road. When we arrived, we were promptly greeted by one gentleman behind the counter than handed off to Brandon. Brandon was a superstar - friendly, great smile, respectful, provided a map and circled several locations we had on our to-do list, and gave us all the other information we needed to survive a week on a scooter driving around in the Keys. Good job Brandon! They have helmets available at no additional charge and there are restrooms for customers as well. The restrooms are surprisingly in great shape and very clean, I did not expect this from a scooter rental store. The rental cost us a little over $200 for 6 days. I believe it is normally more than that but we were able to get a military discount, so be sure to let staff know if you are former military. One scooter fits two people and it's a 50 CC, so max speed is around 45 when you're going downhill. You can get around to just about anywhere in Key West on this thing and parking for scooters is free unless noted otherwise. If you are in a car or golf cart you're looking at spending $5-$10 an HOUR to park anywhere in this city, so scooters and bicycles are the way to go if you want to park for free. You will be required to sign some paperwork like any other rental place, but the one cool thing about renting the scooter is that the insurance coverage only cost $10 the entire time your rent it. The only stipulation is that if you do have an accident and there is visible damage to the vehicle be sure to get a police report filled out otherwise you will not be covered. The scooter gets roughly 100 miles to the gallon, I know because I used to have a 50 CC just like this one. If you do get low on gas the shop will fill it up for free. They also offer a pickup service if you are unable to bring the scooter back. Additionally, they have a key drop area out front where you can drop the scooter and key off after normal business hours if you need to head out of the Keys unexpectedly. All-in-all, riding around on this scooter made our vacation so much more enjoyable. We were free to drive anywhere we wanted and had access to free parking everywhere. If you are here on vacation, I highly recommend getting you a scooter from Sunshine Scooters.
