Frequently Asked Questions
You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. If the common
questions below don’t help, reach out to us.
Do I need a motorcycle license to drive a Slingshot?
Nope! All you need is a valid driver’s license. The Slingshot is classified as an Auto-Cycle, so no special license is needed in Florida, or any of the surrounding states.

Is a helmet required to rent a Slingshot?
Basic full-face Helmets are provided for the driver and a passenger at no additional charge. We recommend always wearing a helmet (safety first)!
Do I need to know how to drive a manual transmission to drive a Slingshot?
No, we have both automatic and 5-speed manual slingshots from the factory for your rental experience.
We at Clearwater Slingshot think having the option to drive a manual or automatic enables more people to experience the joy of driving a new Polaris Slingshot!
How many miles can I go without being charged extra?
You can drive as much as you want. The miles are unlimited.
Do I need to fill the gas tank up when returning the Slingshot?
Yes, we want you to spend your time riding and having fun cruising on the road, so you will start off with a full tank, but we ask that you fill up when you bring it back to us.
What are your rental requirements? And what's the deal with the insurance?
Our vehicles are available to drivers 21 and older. All renters are required to use our damage waver. The damage waiver costs are $25 per day, and all drivers and riders are required to sign our liability waiver and rental agreement. Also please arrive 15 minutes prior to you reservation time to allow for checkout time. A $100 deposit is required at reservation creation and is non-refundable but can be used for any future reservation within 1 year.
Also, a $750 credit card authorization ($750 Cash for ages 21-24) is required to take the slingshot out. This is not a charge, but an authorization. So when the slingshot is brought back without damage it will never have been charged.
Can you deliver the slingshot to me?
Delivery might be possible upon request. Please call to see if it is available in your area!
I only need the slingshot for a couple of hours. Do you have hourly rentals?
Yes, we offer 2,4,6,8,24 hour rentals with multi day rental discounts. Please feel free to call us with any questions.
