Now let’s dive into some essential travel tips to make your golf cart rental experience as breezy as a Gulf Coast morning.
Your Go-To Tips for Electric Golf Cart Travel in Beach Towns
Whether you’re vacationing in one of Florida’s laid-back beach towns or staying somewhere just a few blocks from the shoreline, local golf cart rentals are the perfect way to get around.
Here’s how to make the most of your ride from the moment you hop in:
Choose the Right Size for Your Group
Golf carts come in all shapes and sizes. For families or group outings, a 6 seater golf cart is perfect, as it gives everyone room without feeling crowded.
If you’ve got a big group or just want the extra space, we also offer 8 seater golf cart options that are roomy, comfortable, and ideal for beach gear hauls.
Want something more compact? No worries—our fleet includes four-seater models, so you’ll find the right fit for your plans.
Plan Smart Routes and Use Cart-Friendly Roads
All of our golf carts are street-legal, but they’re only allowed on roads marked 35 mph or lower. Lucky for you, most Florida beach towns are built for this kind of low-speed cruising.
What’s more, landmarks and popular destinations are often near these roads, so you’ll be able to visit them, plus scenic streets, and hidden gems while you also avoid traffic.
If you’re ever unsure where you can go, just ask us! We’ll gladly point out the best routes for your cart and let you know what areas are off-limits.
Take Advantage of Local Charging
Renting an electric golf cart? Electric carts run an average of 20–40 miles on a full charge—plenty for a full day of exploring. But if you’re staying overnight or planning multiple outings, plug it in when you can.
Most vacation rentals and hotels have an accessible outlet, and our team will walk you through exactly how to charge when we deliver your cart. If you’re in doubt of whether or not you’re allowed to charge at your lodgings, make sure to ask!
This kind of “opportunity charging” helps keep your battery topped off without changing your plans. Pause for lunch? Plug in. Back at your rental? Plug in. Easy.
Stay Sun- and Weather-Savvy
Florida weather is… spontaneous. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and maybe even a poncho for those quick afternoon showers. And don’t worry—our carts are ready. They’re roofed, open-air, and come with storage space to protect your gear.
And yes, our golf carts work in the rain, though we always recommend parking during heavy downpours for safety.
Bring the Whole Family—We’ve Got the Gear
Traveling with kids? We’ve got you. Let us know ahead of time and we’ll include a child seat with your rental at no extra cost. Our six person golf cart models are designed with families in mind, complete with seat belts and enough space for snacks, bags, and all your beach-day extras.
Need a smaller or larger cart? No problem! We have 4-seater and 8-seater options and yes, we’ll also include child seats if you let us know you need them. So pre-book today to secure your carts, and those seats.
Go Local and Skip the Car Drama
Local traffic and limited parking can suck the fun out of any beach day. Our local golf cart rentals let you sidestep the stress. Zip to your favorite coffee spot, roll up to the pier, and skip the miles of parked cars. It’s convenient, laid-back, and just plain fun.
And with our 6 passenger golf cart electric model? You can do all that without paying for gas too!
