Top 3 Golf Cart Rental Providers for Your Emerald Coast Tour

1. Bike the Beach

Enjoy quick and easy transportation on your Emerald Coast vacay with Bike the Beach! This rental shop has two branches, making it accessible to both tourists visiting Panama City Beach and Santa Rosa Beach. Bike the Beach offers golf cart rental services for $435 to $925, depending on the number of days. Both their 4-seater and 6-seater vehicles are available for delivery at a minimal delivery fee of $20.

To rent a cart, you must be at least 21 years old with a valid driver’s license and proof of auto insurance. In the absence of the latter, you may pay a refundable $200 cash deposit.

Because golf carts fall under low-speed vehicles (LSVs), you may use them only on public streets with a maximum speed limit of 35 mph. You can’t drive them along Middle Beach Road (Hutchinson Boulevard) and Back Beach Rd. (Panama City Beach Parkway). You can’t use them on the beach, along sidewalks, and on bike paths as well.

To drive a golf cart, you must be at least 16 years old and own a driver’s license. But 15 year-olds are also allowed as long as they’re traveling with an adult (21 years old and up) and have a permit.

If you opt to pick up your golf cart rental, you may do so at 11 AM on your check-in day. Make sure to drop off the vehicle by 11 AM on your return day.

Past customers of Bike the Beach love the shop’s exceptional service, cool prices, and friendly staff. They also provide maps to guide you in getting around the area. Plus, they have ample parking for your car while you cruise around in your golf cart.

Based on reviews, they even exceeded some customers’ expectations, considering that Rally by the Beach is a relatively small company compared to other golf cart rental providers.
