Key West is a popular destination year-round, but especially busy during spring break, Fantasy Fest in October, and the winter holiday season. Last-minute rentals are sometimes available, but options may be limited and prices higher. If you have a large group or specific vehicle requirements, advance booking is the best way to guarantee availability. Our team can accommodate short-notice requests whenever possible, so don’t hesitate to reach out even if your trip is coming up soon.

Parking a large vehicle in Key West can be challenging due to narrow streets and limited space, especially in Old Town. Designated bus parking areas are available at the Truman Waterfront Park, near the Key West Ferry Terminal, and at certain public lots like the one at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park. For drop-offs and pickups, popular spots include Mallory Square, Whitehead Street near the Ernest Hemingway Home, and Simonton Street Beach. Always check with your destination in advance, as some hotels and attractions require permits or have specific instructions for oversized vehicles. Our team can help you plan the best routes and parking arrangements based on your itinerary.

Your quote includes the use of the vehicle for the specified duration and mileage, standard onboard amenities, and all taxes and fees. There are no hidden charges or surprise costs—everything is clearly outlined in your contract. Optional upgrades like extra mileage, tolls, or additional amenities may be available upon request.
