Golf Cart Rentals Miramar Beach, FL Rules
As you may have noticed, there are a ton of Golf Carts along Scenic Gulf Drive in Miramar Beach, where our vacation rentals are located. Like regular vehicles, there are several rules associated with the privilege of guests being able to rent and drive a street-legal golf cart along scenic Gulf Drive. Please consult the Florida DMV and the company you rent from for the most up-to-date information on these rules.
People really enjoy driving the scenic Gulf Drive in low-speed vehicles or golf cart rentals. A favorite pastime for the golf cart group is moving to Pompano Joes or crossing over 98 to go to the Destin Commons for shopping, dinner, or a movie.
Florida Law currently states: “A low-speed vehicle or mini truck may be operated only on streets where the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less. This does not prohibit a low-speed vehicle or mini truck from crossing a road or street at an intersection where the road or street has a posted speed limit of more than 35 miles per hour.”
