Before renting, be aware of local golf cart operation laws!

Under South Carolina law, golf carts may not be operated:

  • On primary highways
  • More than 4 miles from your residence (or the residence you are staying at, in the case of events or vacations)
  • After dark (½ hr. after sunset until ½ hr. prior to sunrise)
  • By an unlicensed driver
  • On any sidewalk

Parents or guardians allowing an unlicensed child to operate a golf cart are subject to a fine in excess of $200.00. Golf carts being operated in violation of state law are also subject to being towed at the owner's expense.

Golf carts are allowed on secondary roads with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less and can cross primary roads. All state traffic laws must be obeyed, and the seating capacity of the golf cart cannot be exceeded.

Frequently Asked Questions

1What should I look for in a golf cart rental company?
There are a few key things to watch for:
  • Cart variety: Some situations call for a standard 4-passenger cart, while others might need a larger option or a street-legal LSV. Look for a golf cart dealership that offers different sizes and styles.
  • Delivery options: Having the cart delivered to your location (whether it’s a beach house, event venue, or office) can save you a lot of time and inconvenience.
  • Local knowledge: Rental companies that are familiar with the area can offer helpful advice about where you can legally drive and park your cart.
  • Clear pricing: Transparent, upfront pricing makes it easier to compare options and avoid surprise fees.
2Do I need a special license to drive a rental cart?
In most areas, you just need a valid driver’s license and to be at least 16 years old.
3Can I rent a golf cart for a wedding or corporate event?
Absolutely! More and more brides and grooms use golf carts to get around large venues or to add a fun touch to their big day. For company retreats, it’s an easy way to get teams moving comfortably across large properties. If you’re planning a big day, take a look at how golf cart rental can make your wedding unforgettable, and for work trips, this guide to using golf carts at corporate retreats is a great starting point.
4Do golf carts work well at the beach?
They sure do; just make sure you’re in a beach town that allows them. Many families say it’s the easiest way to get all your stuff to and from the shore, especially if you’re hauling beach chairs, coolers, or little ones. Bonus: parking is way easier. If you’re heading to a coastal spot, our Ultimate Guide to Golf Cart Rentals in SC Beaches breaks it all down, including what’s allowed in popular towns like Folly Beach, Isle of Palms, and Sullivan’s Island.
5How do I know if my rental cart is street legal?
To determine if a golf cart is street legal, you’ll need to check two key things:
  • Paperwork: Registration documents, proof of liability insurance from a DMV-recognized provider, a 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and a DMV-issued permit decal.
  • Equipment: Headlights, taillights, turn signals, and seatbelts for every passenger.
All of our rental golf carts at Garrett’s Golf Cars come fully equipped with essential safety features, so you can rest easy knowing your cart is street legal and ready for the road.

"We used Garrets for golf cart rentals for our visit to Tryon Equestrian Center. The pricing was excellent and the carts were spotless and clean, likely new since manual was still zip tied to the steering wheel shaft. Steve was excellent to work with. I would highly recommend Garrett's and look forward to working with them again for our golf cart needs at Tryon."
