Belts
A belt at every seat, and every rider stays seated and belted. No lap riding and no sharing a belt, at any age.

Reading the charge
A round gauge above the glovebox or a percent readout above the steering wheel, depending on the cart. Your cart guide shows which.

Questions

Before you book

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.
