Our golf carts are registered, licenced and insured as Low Speed Vehicles (LSV) in the state of Florida. The same rules and laws apply to LSV’s as regular cars. Children under 5 must be properly seated in the appropriate car seat for their age. We do not provide car seats, you can rent a seat from a 3rd party provider.
For additional information please visit Florida Department of Transportation Safety and Low Speed Vehicles Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
All of our vehicles are registered and licensed Low Speed Vehicles (LSV). This means they can be driven anywhere the speed limit is 35 mph and below per the state of Florida. This encompasses the entire island of Anna Maria. Our carts are not permitted to leave Anna Maria Island, this means do not cross a bridge leaving AMI (Manatee, Cortez, and Longboat Key). Low Speed Vehicles (golf carts) are not permitted to be driven on Longboat Key. Holmes Beach has special ordinances that apply to golf carts not registered as Low Speed Vehicles. LSV’s must obey all traffic laws and regulations the same as cars. All passengers must wear a seat belt at all times. Children under 5 years old must be in a proper child seat for their age and size. Please call us 941-841-7368 if you have questions about the location of your rental and the use of one of our carts.

With a full charge each morning you can explore the island with no hesitation. There are so many factors that play into how far you can go it is difficult for us to make promises. The average for our carts is 45 miles on a full charge. Your best bet is to plug the cart in each night and you will have more than enough charge to drive our 7 mile island without issue.
Both gas and electric have the same top speed so no need to worry about one being faster than the other.
It really comes down to preference, size of your group, and availablity of power for charging at the home you have rented.
Condo renters should always double check with their rental managment company for electrical access. Some condo’s do not allow electric golf carts and do not have outlets accessible for charging them in their parking area. In this case you will need to rent a gas golf cart.
