Common Questions
Should I Tip for service?
You will not be asked for a tip and we do not expect that you provide a tip. We are a service based business and we will provide you with a product to bring some additional convienence or pleasure to your vacation. If you feel you would like to add gratuity for your service, it would be greatly appreciated. We only accept tips in cash.
Will Beach Fun Rentals deliver off the island?
Yes, we deliver on Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key along with many parts of Manatee County and Sarasota County. Let us know your address and we will provide you an estimate for delivery fees.
What is the difference between class 2 and class 3 ebikes?
Class 2 will have a top speed of 20mph, class 3 is closer to 28mph. The Class 3 battery is a longer lasting battery and capable of carrying a heavier rider. Both classes will have pedal assist and a throttle option. Be sure to let us know the height and weight of all your riders.
What are the different types of bikes offered?
A cruiser bike is a standard bike with coaster style braking.
Geared bikes are available in different styles with differing gears. If you need a specific style, plan ahead and tell us exactly what you are looking for.
Can I get a basket, helmet and lock for my bike?
Baskets - Our standard cruiser bike is the only bike which will include a basket. Some geared bikes may have a basket but most do not. It will vary based on the style of bike.
Locks - All rentals will include 1 lock for every 2 bikes rented. Additional locks can be rented or purchased.
Helmet - Available upon request.
When is the best time to request a reservation?
We offer reservations up to 6 months in advance. Once we meet our reservation limit, reservations are closed. We may still have walk-in availability on many items so come to our store early when you arrive and you may find what you need. We do not offer a stand by list on any item.
Am I able to reserve chairs or beach items?
Many homes and vacation properties provide beach items (such as chairs, umbrellas, wagons, body boards and more) for use during your stay. We do not offer reservations for beach items as many people arrive and realize once they get here, they don’t need the items. Once you arrive and determine if your property does not have beach items or if the items are in poor condition, you should stop by our store to choose the items you need. These items are on a first come first serve basis and delivery is an option after you have come to the store and selected the items for your rental.
I am just looking for pricing, can you provide a FREE estimate?
Yes. Complete the form in the reservations link and you will receive an estimate. One you approve the estimate we will send you the invoice where you will be able to leave a deposit to finalize your reservation.
Can I return my items after hours?
Motor vehicles may be dropped off after hours. Park your vehicle in a legal parking spot then place the key in the "lock box" and text us a picture of your return. Any item returned after hours is still your responsibility. To avoid any additional fees on theft or damaged items left unattended plan to return during our store hours.
My bike got a flat tire or the chain fell off, what should I do?
The island has road hazards, hidden thorns, broken shells, nails and other items that may damage a tire or cause a chain to come off so this is a common issue. During business hours, the quickest way to fix this would be to find the local trolley or bus stop and mount your bike and bring it back to our store to get it repaired. We are sometimes able to come and assist you but this may not be as quick as bringing the bike back to us. Do not leave the bike unattended or unlocked, as it is still your responsibility. After hours leave us a message and we will make an effort to come to you on our next scheduled truck route.
Where am I allowed to drive my rental cart or scooter?
Carts (low speed vehicles) are only allowed on AMI. Scooters and ebikes may also travel to LBK. Licensed motor vehicles are legal on all roads on the island but they are not allowed on beaches, sidewalks or in bike lanes.
How old do I have to be to rent and drive a scooter, golf cart or ebike?
You must be 21 years old to rent any item.
We offer different options based on age. See our reservation page or give us a call.
Can I rent a 2 person scooter?
Yes. A gas scooter can hold 1 or two people and we do not charge additional. Scooters can carry up to 330lbs and have a top speed of 32mph. Let us know so we can match you with the correct scooter. Reservations are suggested.
