What’s not to like about golf carts? They are cheaper and more energy efficient than cars, and they are convenient, fun, and easy to drive. But some communities do not allow golf carts, legal or otherwise, or have extremely strict rules regarding who, where, when, and from which company, a golf cart can be used. Please note, you are solely responsible for any citations or fines attached to our rental golf cart during your rental period.
Basically, you can drive on public streets and private streets determine these laws individually. How do you know if you’re on a private road or a public street? There’s a simple trick to knowing for sure: any road with a GREEN street sign is a county maintained road, while any road with a BLUE street sign is privately maintained.
