About HydroThunder

Family owned and operated for over 30 years, we are Key West's original and largest rental company.

Who We Are

Our Story

Welcome to HydroThunder of Key West! Featuring scooter, electric car, and golf cart rentals, HydroThunder is a one-stop shop for all your rental needs.

HydroThunder of Key West has been family owned and operated since 1994. We take great pride in being the only equipment rental company in Key West that replaces the entire rental fleet each year. It is our priority to provide our valued customers with safe, top-of-the-line equipment.

Our staff greets everyone with a smile (and usually a joke). We love helping visitors discover the best spots on the island and making sure your Key West experience is unforgettable. Our "island vibe" helps guests feel the breeze, run by the beach, and forget about being an adult for a while.

With the largest inventory in Key West, we rarely run out of vehicles. Whether you're a cruise ship visitor looking for a quick tour or a family on vacation wanting to explore every corner of the island, we've got you covered.
