Are you kidding? You’ll be riding around a tropical island in an open-air golf cart. “Bliss” is the word that comes to mind. Have a look at all the photos of happy customers in our Gallery or our social media.

We have a fleet of Club Car Onward 6-passenger, gas-powered street-legal carts with lifted suspension and 14″ wheels — four forward-facing seats and two rear-facing seats that also fold flat for cargo.

Our street-legal carts are Low Speed Vehicles (LSVs), a regulated category of motor vehicles under Federal and Florida Law. LSVs are registered, licensed, and insured, and are permitted to drive on any road where the posted speed limit is 35 mph or less. All the roads on Sanibel and Captiva Islands are 35 mph or less.

In Florida, a street-legal golf cart is a golf cart that’s equipped with seat belts, turn signals, mirrors, headlights, DOT-grade windshield, and other safety features. All our carts include these mandatory features and are titled and registered in the State of Florida. For more information, see the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Guide to Owning Low Speed Vehicles.

We need your valid driver’s license, you proof of auto insurance, your signature on a rental agreement, and your payment.

All our carts are insured, and with your signature on our rental agreement and a swipe of your credit card your rental period on our carts is insured — but your current auto insurance is still the primary insurer.

Our rental day is a 24-hour period, just as major auto rental companies are. So (for example) if we deliver your 2-day rental cart on a Monday at 9:00 am, we’ll pick it up that Wednesday at 9:00 am.

For Multiday rentals, we offer free delivery within the 2-hour delivery window you select at time of booking and free pickup at the end your rental period. For hourly and daily rentals, you stop by one of our Island locations to pick up and drop off a cart.

Anyone 21 and older who is listed on the rental agreement as an “Additional Driver” and who provides their driver’s license and proof of auto insurance.

Yes. You must be 21 years old to rent or drive a cart.

No. You must be at least 21 years old to drive one of the carts.

The carts go up to 25 mph.

No. Carts may only be driven on the roadways on Sanibel Island and Captiva Island. Carts cannot leave the perimeter of Sanibel Island and Captiva Island.

No. It is illegal to drive any golf cart, including our street-legal carts, on the bike path (which we in Sanibel refer to as a “Shared Use Path”).

You can park our cart anywhere you are permitted to park a car (in a parking lot, for example). Sanibel does not allow parking along roadsides. And please note the special rules for beach parking:  only Sanibel residents with beach parking permits are allowed to use Permit Parking spots; our carts as commercial vehicles are not allowed beach parking permits. All others must use one of the public beach parking lots and follow the instructions for paid parking. The City of Sanibel actively enforces parking restrictions and will write an expensive ticket if you park without paying or in an unpermitted location. (And then we’ll have to chase you down and charge you an administrative fee, which is no more fun for us than it is for you.)

The carts have a 5-gallon gas tank and can travel approximately 150 miles on a full tank. The first tank is on us. If you do run low on gas during your rental period, you have the option of refilling the tank at our local gas station or purchasing our mobile refill service. Please call or text us with any questions or to arrange for a refill.
