Dan and Kathy H. (new owners!) from Perrysburg, OH and their family over the holidays
Several of our guests (and owners) enjoy renting their own electric carts while tooling around Sanibel Island!
Sanibel Carts is our local source for street-legal, solar-paneled electric carts. They offer door-to-door delivery, along with knowledgeable and friendly service and top-of-the-line vehicles.
Sanibel Carts are street-legal, electric golf carts that are designated under Florida law as low speed vehicles (LSVs). These LSVs are permitted to drive on any street where the posted speed limit is 35 mph or less. (All the roads on Sanibel and Captiva islands are 35 mph or less.)
In Florida, a street-legal golf cart is a golf cart that’s equipped with seat belts, turn signals, mirrors, and other safety features. Every Sanibel Cart includes these mandatory features and is titled and registered in the State of Florida. They even come equipped with an official “B” parking sticker from the City of Sanibel to make parking a breeze!
Last year, Sanibel Carts added solar panels to their entire fleet of 4-seater and 6-seater electric carts to help reduce guest carbon footprints. All you need to do is park in the sunshine to let the solar panel on top of the Cart to help top up the battery. The Carts can travel approximately 35 miles on a full charge. You can travel from Lighthouse Beach Park on the east end of the island all the way to the shops and restaurants on Captiva Island and back in just under 30 miles.
You must be 21 years old to rent or drive a Cart. The Carts may only be driven on the roadways on Sanibel Island and Captiva Island (not on beaches or bike paths) and the Carts cannot leave the perimeter of Sanibel Island and Captiva Island (they cannot be driven on the causeway).
Cart around the island in style on your next vacation! For more information — including how to arrange for free delivery and pick-up — call Sanibel Carts at 239-500-CART or visit their website at sanibel-carts.com.
