No. Carts are not allowed on the beach, on sand, or on dirt roads.

Is there a security deposit or insurance required?

There’s a $25 non-refundable booking deposit. We don’t require separate insurance, but we keep a card on file to cover any fees or damage — fuel, cleaning, towing, late return, lost key, or damage to the cart. You’re responsible for any damage while the cart is in your care, and keep in mind your personal auto insurance likely won’t cover a Low-Speed Vehicle.
