Okay booked to go this year (last time was at least 15 years ago). Looks like the waterfront has change quit a bit over the years. So what is parking like near the venue these days? We are staying out near the airport so thought we would just drive there, but heard not a lot of parking around the area anymore. Thought about renting a couple scooters and just leave the car at the hotel. Give me your thought. Thanks

Just take a taxi or Uber. They are plentiful.
Or rent a scooter.

We got garage parking off Duval just fine last month, however we are parking our car and will just uber or rent bikes to where we are going, too much of a headache to deal with.

rent bikes....there's not a hill in Key West; so very easy to pedal around and "park" them.

Thanks for the info. Looked at the bicycle option but age and leg issues kind of rule them out. Will figure it out once we get there on Thursday.

Scooters, bikes or golf carts. They’ll even deliver to your hotel. Ask at front desk.

And scooter parking is actually a PITA at times too because they ticket the fock out of them. They have to be in designated parking spots.

Hogs Breath makes you pay for scooter parking, and they tow them several miles north of you don’t. They tow them so far that you can’t legally ride them back down Rt1 (for whatever reason). So you have to cab/Uber up there, and then pay to have them brought back to KW. Friends of mine found this out the expensive way. Fortunately they were/are ACTUALLY TOW TRUCK drivers themselves so they knew the ‘secret handshake’ and got off a bit easier in the wallet.

Keep in mind you can get a dui on a bicycle, golf cart and a scooter! On foot you just get a drunk in public.....
