Vehicle Rentals

Choosing transport for Anna Maria Island starts with where you are staying and how far you plan to travel. A bike may suit short outings near your rental; a golf cart gives a group more seats; a Jeep or car makes sense for trips beyond the island.

Compare your rental options

Bikes and e-bikes: Compare Beach Bums on Pine Avenue with AMI Beach Fun Rentals on East Bay Drive. Ask about bike sizes, helmets, locks and child carriers before reserving.
Golf carts: Check passenger capacity, delivery arrangements and where the rental company allows its vehicles to be driven. Confirm parking and charging arrangements at your vacation home.
Jeeps: Island Jeep Excursions offers Jeep rentals for island visits and outings farther afield. Check pickup or delivery details and the rental terms for your plans.

Before you book

Compare the full rental cost, delivery and collection fees, cancellation terms and equipment included. Ask the provider about current availability and driver requirements rather than assuming that every vehicle has the same rules.

You may not need a rental vehicle for every outing. Our Anna Maria Island bus and trolley guide explains other ways to get around. For time on the water, see boat tours and watersports.
