A&M Rentals

A&M Rentals has run as a family business in Key West since 2005, operating from a main location on Truman Avenue near the entrance to Duval Street, with a second location near the Casa Marina Resort on South Street serving guests staying in that part of the island. Two decades of continuous family ownership has given the business time to build a loyal local following among both repeat visitors and residents who need short-term transportation.

The rental fleet covers premium scooters starting around forty dollars, electric and gas golf carts starting around a hundred dollars, and beach cruiser bicycles starting as low as fifteen dollars, giving the shop a fairly wide price range to work with depending on a customer’s budget and how far they plan to travel around the island. Open seven days a week from eight in the morning to six in the evening, the hours are built around the rhythm of a typical vacation day, early enough for guests headed to breakfast and late enough to accommodate evening returns.

One of the more practical services the business offers is free delivery and pickup to any hotel, vacation rental, or cruise ship port in Key West, a detail that matters significantly for cruise ship passengers on a tight schedule who do not want to spend part of a short port day walking to and from a rental shop. The company specifically calls out cruise ship, ferry, and airport pickups as a specialty, suggesting a business that has built real infrastructure around serving visitors arriving by means other than a personal car.

With two locations covering different parts of the island and a rental fleet spanning from budget bicycles to golf carts, A&M Rentals positions itself to serve a broad cross-section of Key West’s visitor transportation needs, from a family wanting a golf cart for a few days to a cruise passenger who just needs a bike for a few hours before their ship departs. The continuity of family ownership since 2005 also means the shop has weathered multiple tourism seasons and hurricane cycles under the same management, a form of resilience worth noting for a business tied so closely to Key West’s seasonal and weather-dependent visitor economy.

Because the business operates two separate pickup locations, guests staying anywhere between the Duval Street entrance and the Casa Marina area generally have a relatively short walk to one location or the other, and the free delivery option removes even that step for guests who would rather not walk to a rental counter at all. Golf carts have become an increasingly popular rental choice among families and larger groups looking to travel together without splitting across multiple bikes or scooters, and the shop typically keeps a range of cart sizes in rotation to match group size. Staff generally recommend booking golf carts a few days ahead during the busier winter tourist season, when that category of rental tends to sell out fastest.
