Golf carts

Question

Where can you rent golf carts

Answer

Destin and the surrounding Emerald Coast area have several options for renting golf carts, which can be a convenient way to explore beach neighborhoods and resort areas. Most rentals cater to both short-term and longer-term needs, including daily or weekly rentals.

Where to Rent Golf Carts

Local Golf Cart Rental Companies: Many small, independent rental shops in Destin and nearby Miramar Beach offer a variety of carts, from basic electric models to larger, more luxurious carts. Examples include Destin Golf Cart Rentals and Emerald Coast Golf Carts.
Resort or Vacation Rental Services: Some resorts and vacation rental management companies provide golf cart rentals directly for their guests. This can be convenient if you are staying in a beach community like Sandestin or near Crystal Beach.
Online Booking Platforms: Websites that specialize in local rentals often list golf carts for daily or weekly use, sometimes with delivery and pickup included at your vacation rental or condo.

Tips for Renting

Book in advance, especially during peak tourist season (spring and summer), as golf carts can sell out quickly.
Check whether the rental includes insurance or liability coverage — some companies require proof of insurance or offer optional coverage.
Confirm delivery and pickup options; some companies will drop off the cart directly at your rental property, which is highly convenient.
Review the local traffic rules for golf carts in Destin. Some roads allow golf carts, but not all, so plan your routes accordingly.
Inspect the cart upon pickup to ensure it’s fully charged (if electric) or fueled (if gas), and check for any damage to avoid extra charges.

Overall, Destin has plenty of golf cart rental options for both short and extended stays. Choosing between independent rental shops or resort-provided carts often comes down to convenience and whether you need delivery to your accommodation.
