Delivering a golf cart to a customer is a delightful experience. We encounter someone — or a couple, a family, a group of friends — just off a hectic day or two of travel. The pressure of their daily grind is now a world away, maybe for the first time in a long time, and they suddenly find themselves enveloped by a tropical paradise. They are, consciously or not, decompressing. Then we show up, with a shiny golf cart and a relaxed smile, and send them on an enchanting open-air journey around a sun-kissed island.
We say it often because it’s true: We deliver happiness.
From our very first customers, who hold permanent pole position in our Photo Gallery (Hi Dan & Kathy!), we’ve made friendships and developed a loyal following. Maybe it’s because we were the first to bring a new, joyful mode of transportation to our islands. Or maybe it’s because we go the extra mile to make sure our customers have a wonderful time, not just on our carts but on our islands.
Here’s our theory: we meet people at a special moment in their lives — and in a magical place — and deliver them happiness.
How lucky are we?
Our loyal customers are what make Sanibel Carts go. For that and much else, we say: Thank you!
And to those of you who haven’t rented from us: put us to the test — and find out why our customers keep coming back year after year.
In 2018 Sanibel Carts became the first company to bring street-legal golf cart rentals to Sanibel & Captiva Islands. Over the years we’ve built, lost, and rebuilt our business through Red Tide, Covid, and Hurricane Ian. We pride ourselves on the quality of our well-maintained carts and our outstanding Island-based customer service. We are the only rental company with offices on Sanibel and Captiva Islands, and are able to provide you with prompt roadside assistance during your golf cart rental.
We offer free delivery to your doorstep in Sanibel & Captiva or easy pickup & after-hours drop-off at our Sanibel and Captiva rental offices and other locations. Our staff of knowledgeable & friendly islanders takes great pride in ensuring that you have a safe and superb experience on our Islands.
Sanibel Carts’ owners, Jeff Blackman and Laura DeBruce, have been traveling to Sanibel since the 1980s. They bought a house on Island in 2010 and made Sanibel their primary residence in 2015 when their son started at the University of Florida. Even though she’s not a golfer, Laura has always preferred driving a golf cart to any other mode of transportation. “There’s a sense of freedom and fun that goes along with a golf cart, plus there’s a deeper connection to the environment and other travelers when you’re in an open-air, slower moving vehicle.” The business was born when their beloved Golden Retriever, Charlie, took a liking to riding shotgun in their first cart.
Laura and Jeff are happy to bring street-legal, low-speed vehicles to beautiful Sanibel and Captiva Islands.
