1. Taxi & rideshare services

Rideshare companies Uber and Lyft are also available on the island.

2. Bicycle

Key West is only seven miles around, flat, and easy to explore by bicycle if it’s not too hot. Moving around Old Town is best on two wheels because you can travel quickly and you don’t have to worry about parking.
