Rental Agreement
Add An Extra Driver To Your Golf Cart Rental
Two drivers are included with every reservation. If more than two adults in your group plan to drive, each one must be listed and approved on the rental agreement before getting behind the wheel. It takes about three minutes and is completed with a secure, legally binding electronic signature. Only approved, listed drivers may operate the vehicle, so add everyone who plans to drive.

01
Every Driver Must Qualify
- At least 22 years old
- Holds a valid driver's license
- Carries active auto insurance in their own name
- Listed and approved on the rental agreement before driving
Have your booking confirmation number, the extra driver's license details, and their auto insurance information ready.
The valid and collectible liability insurance and personal injury protection insurance of any authorized rental or leasing driver is primary for the limits of liability and personal injury protection coverage required by ss. 324.021(7) and 627.736, Florida Statutes. Each driver's own auto policy pays first for any claim arising from their use of the vehicle, so every driver should know what their policy covers before they drive.

The Terms Every Driver Agrees To
When an added driver signs, they agree to the same rental terms as the primary renter, and they confirm:
- They are driving a street-legal Low Speed Vehicle (LSV), a real motor vehicle, on public roads posted 35 mph or less (Fla. Stat. 316.2122).
- An LSV sits higher and weighs less than a car and handles differently. They will slow down before turning, take corners gently, keep every rider seated and belted, not overload it, and never allow lap riding. Most LSV incidents happen from turning too fast, not from driving straight.
- They received and read the operating instructions and the Florida LSV law summary before driving, and Beach Better warned them, in writing, that an LSV handles differently than a car.
- They voluntarily assume the risks of operating the LSV, including collision, rollover, serious injury, and death, and they are bound by the release and indemnity in the rental agreement.
Signing electronically has the same legal force as ink on paper under Florida Statutes 668.004 and 668.50 and the federal E-SIGN Act (15 U.S.C. 7001). Signing confirms each driver read and agreed to the rental agreement and its safety terms.

Common Questions
Extra Driver FAQ
Who needs to complete this form?
Any additional adult beyond the two drivers included in the booking who plans to drive the LSV must be listed and approved before driving. The primary renter is already covered by the original rental agreement and does not need to complete this form for themselves.
How much does it cost?
The extra driver fee is $15 per additional driver once you have more than two drivers to list. Two drivers are included at no extra cost. The fee is added to your rental invoice and collected as part of your final billing.
What do I need before signing?
You will need the booking confirmation number from your reservation, the extra driver's valid driver's license, and their auto insurance information. Every driver must carry active auto insurance in their own name, and under Florida law that insurance is primary for the vehicle.
Can I add an extra driver after my rental has already started?
Yes. The agreement can be completed at any point during your rental period. The extra driver must not operate the vehicle until the agreement is signed and approved by Beach Better.
Is the electronic signature legally binding?
Yes. Under Florida Statutes 668.004 and 668.50 and the federal E-SIGN Act (15 U.S.C. 7001), an electronic signature has the same force and effect as a handwritten one. Signing the extra driver agreement is a fully enforceable acknowledgment that the driver read and agreed to the rental terms.
Does the extra driver need to read the guide too?
Yes. Every driver should read the Beach Better Renter Guide and the Florida LSV laws before driving, so they know how the vehicle handles and where it is legal to go on the Emerald Coast. These instructions are sent in writing at booking and again on the day the rental begins.
What if my auto insurance does not specifically cover LSVs?
Most Florida personal auto policies extend coverage to Low Speed Vehicles operated on public roads, but coverage varies by carrier. Contact your insurance provider before signing to confirm. If your policy excludes LSVs, consider adding Renter's Collision Protection, which provides supplemental coverage for the rental period.
Does Renter's Collision Protection cover the extra driver?
Yes. If the primary renter purchased Renter's Collision Protection, coverage extends to all approved and listed drivers under the same policy terms. The extra driver does not need to purchase separate coverage.
Do I have to add my spouse or partner as an extra driver?
Yes. Every person who operates the LSV must be an approved, listed driver on the rental agreement. Spouses, partners, friends, and family all need to be listed and approved before driving. There are no exceptions based on relationship to the primary renter.
What happens if an unauthorized person drives the vehicle?
Letting anyone who is not an approved, listed driver operate the LSV is a prohibited use of the vehicle. It voids all coverage, and the primary renter remains fully responsible for any accident, citation, injury, or damage that results. Lockbox codes and keys go to approved drivers only. Keep the key secure and never hand the vehicle to an unauthorized driver.
