Key West on July 4th?

I think we are going to do the trolley, it seems like the best option to really see most of the sights, as we have never been there before. Is it easy enough to get the tickets when we get off the ship or should we get them ahead of time? Thanks!!

While we were in Key West(btw, we loved it!) we saw people driving around in these teeny tiny rental cars. They reminded me of a dune buggy with a roof. They had "rent me" all over them. They were very cute...anyway, I never saw them advertised as a part of the shore excursions. Does anyone know how to go about renting them?

It looks expensive to me considering that you can get a mid size car for less than $30 plus tax. http://bellsouthpwp.net/t/r/troprent/prod03.htm

The electric cars are $120 a half day and $180 full day in Key West.

NOTE: The electric cars are popular with tourists, but HUGELY unpopular in Key West.

Getting around Key West is easy and the trolley is great for the overview. Scooters are THE NUMBER ONE way to get killed or injured, and the electric cars are comfortable, and slow, but finding a place to park is a real challenge in Key West. Parking is another reason NOT to rent a car for a short time. One of the best tings about Key West is ready transportation, cabs are plentiful and colorful.
