Buying a cart
How does the price builder work?
Open any cart and pick your plate, delivery and options. The all in price updates as you choose, with sales tax, the dealer fee and the title and tag fees already in it. When it looks right, tap Reserve this one and your build opens in an email to us, or text us the same build.
What is on top of the cart price?
Florida sales tax at 7 percent on the cart, options, delivery and dealer fee. A $159 dealer fee. Title, tag and registration at the Florida amount: $393 for a new plate or $251 to transfer yours. Delivery is $125 to Destin or Miramar Beach, $150 to Santa Rosa Beach, or free if you pick up at 76 N Holiday Rd. Extra long charging cord $89 and a name decal $49 are optional.
What does "from" mean on a price?
Each cart shows the starting price for that exact unit. It is the number the builder adds the fees to. Some carts are not priced online yet. They say Ask for the band, and a text gets you the number.
Are these golf carts street legal?
Every cart is a titled, plated Florida low speed vehicle (LSV) with a VIN, headlights, turn signals, mirrors and a belt at every seat. It can use public roads posted 35 mph or less, with a federal top speed of 25 mph.
What does ASPT mean?
ASPT means assembled from parts. These carts started as standard golf carts and were converted to street legal LSVs through the Florida HSMV process, and the Florida title says ASPT. They are fully street legal. The year on the title may not match the year the chassis was built. Every ASPT cart says so on its page.
What are the terms on a used cart?
Used and ASPT carts are sold as is. No returns, final sale, no factory or dealer warranty. An optional EWG extended warranty from 6 to 48 months is available on every used cart, with no deductible on electric carts, and it transfers if you sell. Ask for a quote on the plan alongside the cart.
Do you offer financing or take trade-ins?
Financing is available for qualified buyers through approved lenders. Email Sales@alwaysbeachbetter.com for current rates. We do not take trade-ins at this time.
Can I test drive one?
Yes. Text us first so the cart you want to try is ready at the showroom at 76 N Holiday Rd, Miramar Beach.
Renting a cart
Who can drive the cart?
Every driver must be 22 or older for the whole rental, hold a valid state issued driver's license, carry active auto insurance in their own name, and be listed and approved on the rental agreement before taking the wheel. Two drivers are included with every rental. Each added driver is $15.
Where can I drive it?
Any public road posted 35 mph or less. That covers Scenic Gulf Drive through Miramar Beach and Destin, Route 30A through Santa Rosa Beach, and most neighborhood streets. You may cross Highway 98 only at a signalized intersection and never travel along it. Sidewalks, the beach, bike paths and grass are off limits.
Is it really a golf cart?
No. Every Beach Better rental is a titled, plated Florida low speed vehicle (LSV) with a VIN, headlights, turn signals, mirrors and a belt at every seat. A true golf cart has no plate or title and cannot use public streets.
How do pickup and delivery work?
Pick a delivery zone and the delivery is part of the bundle price. We stage the cart before your start date. Prefer to collect it yourself? Self pickup at 76 N Holiday Rd, Miramar Beach, next to the Cumberland, is open around the clock from a code protected lockbox. Your four digit code arrives by email at 7 AM the day before and again by text once the cart is staged, after every driver is approved and the agreement is signed.
How do I charge or fuel it?
Electric: plug it in every night, and on return day charge it to full and leave it plugged in. Coming back under 90 percent adds a $100 recharge fee. Gas: it takes 87 unleaded. Bring it back full, add prepaid fuel for $18.50, or pay a $30 refueling fee if it comes back empty.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancellations 10 or more days before your start date carry a $50 fee. Cancellations inside 10 days are not refundable, and early returns are not refunded. If we call an early return for a hurricane, tropical storm or other safety event, unused days are refunded pro rata.
Whose insurance covers the cart?
Yours. Under Fla. Stat. 627.7263 the renting driver's own coverage is primary, and many personal auto policies exclude low speed vehicles, so check with your insurer first. Renter's Collision Protection is optional secondary coverage at $39.50 per driver per day with a $500 deductible. It does not replace your own policy.
Can I take it into my HOA or resort?
Some HOAs and resorts do not allow rental carts. Run your address through the neighborhood rules checker on alwaysbeachbetter.com before you book.

Do I need an appointment for tires?
No. Tire mounting is walk in, while you wait, at 76 N Holiday Rd, Miramar Beach. Flat repairs are usually done in 30 to 60 minutes. You can also book a visit online.

How does pricing work?
