Once you’ve chosen from our stunning selection of Anna Maria Island rentals with pools and set your vacation itinerary, you might be wondering: what’s the best way to zip around the island without having to use the car or public transportation in order to avoid traffic?
The easy answer is: rent a golf cart!
Golf carts offer a delightful, cost-effective, and hassle-free means of transportation on Anna Maria Island throughout your visit. Numerous sections on the island are exclusively allocated for golf carts, bicycles, and pedestrians. Given the island’s compact dimensions—just seven miles long and two miles wide—utilizing a golf cart presents a highly practical approach to exploring and enjoying the breathtaking beauty of this barrier island.
Street-legal golf carts can use all roads on Anna Maria Island, Bradenton Beach, and Holmes Beach.
There are several Anna Maria Island golf cart rental shops in and around the area where you can choose the best vehicle for you and your family.
We’ll take a look at some of these Anna Maria Island golf cart rentals, give details about how you should choose one, and explore Anna Maria Island beachfront rentals to consider when booking your next vacation!
Why Rent a Golf Cart?
When you think about the practicality, enjoyment, and ease of using a golf cart on Anna Maria Island, perhaps the real question should be: why shouldn’t you rent a golf cart on your AMI vacation?
Riding a golf cart allows you to enjoy the beautiful AMI weather instead of being stuck in a car or on a bus. The weather is almost always sunny and nice so you won’t have to worry too much about rainy or cool weather.
Electric golf carts eliminate the need for gas stops altogether! With just one charge, you can cruise for up to 30 miles, easily covering all your daily activities. Maneuvering and parking are a breeze with these carts, and their versatility extends to beachside and park outings, adding even more convenience to your adventures.
Think you can’t get to where you’re going fast enough when using a golf cart? These little vehicles actually go 20 mph—faster than you might have realized. They are allowed on all roads at 35 MPH or less.
Choosing Your Cart
The right golf cart for you and your family boils down to: size and type.
Most gas and electric carts are 4- to 6-passenger vehicles. Electric carts are the preferred type, as they are less noisy and more economical than their gas-powered counterparts. Also, no more trips to the gas station so you have more time to do the things you came to AMI to do.
Where to Rent
If you’re convinced that tooling around in a golf cart is the way to go on Anna Maria Island, the next step is to find out where you can find the right fit for you.
Below you’ll find a few places in and around AMI where you can secure the right cart at the right price.
