welove2cruisedou Posted May 3, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has ever rented one of the electric cars that seats 4 people? If so, what could you tell me about them? How fast do they go and did you get a map of Key West. Are they easy to drive and easy to park them? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

travellovers2 Posted May 6, 2010 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2010 We are renting a 4 seater this month when we cruise to Key West. Maybe you can call the people we are renting from and they can answer your questions. 305-294-8136. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinggamecock Posted May 13, 2010 #5 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Has anyone ever used the electric car rental on Best of Key West.com? If so, please share your experience. We are unsure if we want to book in advance or wait until we dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leruskin Posted May 20, 2010 #6 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I was wondering the same thing...prices, do they give you a map. etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgalpaugh Posted May 20, 2010 #7 Share Posted May 20, 2010 They're really just golf carts for the most part with 4 or 6 seats. They go at a reasonable, but not breakneck speed and are pretty easy to manuver. Only caution is that you'll have to pay to park everywhere you decide to stop and get out at the same rate as cars. Believe streetside is $1.75 an hour or something close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhopal21 Posted May 20, 2010 #8 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Actually the GEM cars http://www.gemcar.com/ are street legal vehicles that top out around 30 mph or so. Metered parking is .25 for 10 mins or $1.50 per hour. Several areas have parking pay boxes that cover many spaces but the rate is the same.
