Why Rent a Street Legal Golf Cart
A street legal golf cart isn’t your average course cart. Instead, ours come equipped with everything Alabama law requires for on-road use:
- Headlights, taillights, and turn signals
- Rearview and side mirrors
- Seatbelts for every seat
- A windshield
- A horn
- Slow-moving vehicle (SMV) signage
As a result, you can legally drive our carts on Dauphin Island’s public streets. In addition, you can drive them on posted low-speed roads around Mobile.
Overall, these carts are perfect for beach access, short grocery runs, or a slow cruise to dinner. Plus, there’s nothing quite like feeling the breeze with the top down. In short, you get all the fun, minus the parking stress.
Dauphin Island Golf Cart Rentals
Dauphin Island is one of the best spots on the Gulf Coast for a golf cart rental. After all, the island is small, flat, and golf-cart-friendly from end to end. Because of that, a street legal cart lets you:
- Ride the beach-access roads without circling for parking
- Get from your vacation rental to the sand in minutes
- Explore Fort Gaines, the Audubon Bird Sanctuary area, and the public pier
- Make an easy trip to local restaurants, ice cream shops, and the marina
Currently, we offer daily, multi-day, and weekly rentals for Dauphin Island guests. Both 4-seat and 6-seat carts are available, so you can pick what fits your group.
Need delivery? No problem. Simply share your address when you book your reservation, and we’ll bring the cart straight to your beach house, condo, or rental property.
