Golf Cart Rentals On Anna Maria Island

Nothing screams a beach vacation quite like a golf-cart ride around town and to the beach. You can pack your family, friends, and even your beach gear on the golf cart and take on the adventurous day. While when most people think of beach rentals, they imagine kayaks, beach chairs, and umbrellas, we highly suggest you add a golf cart to your list of beach needs.

Since Anna Maria Island is such a small town, you can drive to the beautiful, white-sand beaches, delicious restaurants, and spectacular shopping. The island is so small that you can rent a golf cart and never even have to drive a car around once you arrive. Simply park your golf cart at your vacation rental, and hop in when you're ready to explore the island.

To experience Anna Maria Island in the best way possible, renting a golf cart is definitely a must. Here are our favorite places for golf cart rentals and everything you need to know before doing so.


Golf Cart Information

Unlike many beach towns, Anna Maria Island allows golf carts on every street. Every golf cart that you will rent is street legal and you can enjoy strolling down every street on the island without worrying about breaking any rules.

Every street has a speed limit of 35mph or less, and the average golf cart runs about 25 miles per hour before you start to lose charge. Since they're such low speed vehicles, it's a safe way to enjoy your beach getaway. All drivers are asked to have a valid driver's license, to ensure the safety of others while driving on main roads. You can choose from a cart that fits 4, 6, or even 8 passengers depending on the size of your group.

Many of the rental places offer gas or electric carts, and several companies will deliver the golf cart to you for free if you choose to opt-in for that service. You can choose between rentals for the day, week, or even longer if you are staying all winter. The prices range depending on the time of year, type of golf cart, and how long you will keep it.
