Fill’ er up! All Slingshots are rented with a FULL tank of REGULAR gas. Unless specified on a promotion or special offer, it must be returned with a FULL tank of REGULAR gas. Now, if you like you can leave the hassle to us and for $40 we will handle refueling of the slingshot. Our manual slingshots require 91 Octane fuel or higher.
How is the security deposit handled?
We ask for a minimum of $500 deposit on all rentals which is due at the time of the delivery of the slingshot. The amount of the deposit is based on a background and credit check, which is solely up to the companies discretion to decide how much security deposit will be held. You can choose if you like to give the deposit in form of cash or card, if done with a credit card in most cases we will only do a PRE-AUTHORIZATION to simply verify if the funds are available to cover the security deposit. Once the slingshot is returned damage free, in the same condition as when picked up, the pre-authorization or deposit will be released.

Yes. we can guide you through basic suggestions and operating instructions of the slingshot. If you want to have a more advanced course, we can offer it as an additional hour-course during the first hour of your daily rental.
Does Slingshot Rentals offer proper gear to drive the slingshot?
Yes. we offer all the additional safety items needed excluding any motorcycle clothing gear. (meaning gloves and jackets) We offer helmets at an additional cost of $10. If you have your own helmet or are part of the legislative exceptions for helmet use in the state of Florida, you do not need to rent a helmet with us.
