4LB12L Lime Green 4 Seat Electric Golf Cart Rental Guide, Miramar Beach

01

Why Low Beats Lifted For A Lot Of Groups

Lifted carts look great and they get booked on looks. Low carts get booked by people who have loaded a toddler, a beach bag and a grandparent into one in the same trip. 4LB12L is the low one, and it earns that place three ways.

• Short step in and out. Nobody is climbing. That matters at the end of a long beach day when everyone is sandy and tired.
• Lower center of gravity. It leans less in a corner than a lifted cart. Still not a car, but the physics are on your side.
• Easier to load. Coolers and chairs go in at waist height rather than over a lip.

02

The Rules, Once, Plainly

1. Four seats, four belts, four riders. Kids counted the same as adults. No laps, no standing, nobody on the back step while it is moving, hands and feet inside.
2. Approved drivers only. 22 or older, valid license, active auto insurance in their own name, listed and approved on the signed agreement before the rental began. That is who gets the lockbox code. Anyone else driving is prohibited use, which voids coverage and shifts responsibility to the renter.
3. Car seats come with you. Florida Statute 316.613 requires a child through age 3 in a separate carrier or an integrated child seat, and a booster does not satisfy it. A child aged 4 or 5 needs a carrier, an integrated seat, or a booster.
4. Phone down while moving. Handheld and hands free are both prohibited in motion. Stop somewhere safe and lawful first.
5. Florida DUI law applies exactly as it does to a car. Pick the driver before dinner, not after.
6. Walk around it before the first drive. Tires, belts, lights, body. Text a photo of anything wrong to (850) 830-4699. If there is a crash: 911, stay at the scene, report it, then text us.

03

Key, Then Go

The lockbox sits under the front seat, beside the battery, and the seat lifts on its armrest.

1. Lift the front seat by the armrest. The cushion swings up and the box is right there.
2. Line the four digits up straight, then slide the black button down. The lid pops and the key is inside. Close the seat before anyone sits on it.
3. Tow switch on RUN. Near the battery under the seat, or passenger side by the glovebox. On TOW the cart is dead on purpose.
4. Key twice to the right. One click lights the dash, two clicks wakes the drive. One click is why most carts seem broken.
5. F or R at a complete stop, then ease onto the pedal. Instant, silent torque. Give it the first block.

04

Charging, And The Gauge

Lithium ECO battery. Standard wall outlet, every night, roughly eight hours from low to full, and plug in any time it is parked at the house. The round gauge sits near the glovebox on the passenger side and reads honest through the whole pack.

• Plug in nightly, even after a two mile run. Habit beats memory on vacation.
• One outlet per vehicle. Two on one circuit trips the breaker overnight.
• Older place, clear the circuit. Coffee maker and TV unplugged from that outlet first.
• Both cord ends glow when it is charging. Dark ends mean a dead outlet, not a dead cart.
• The cord rides with the vehicle. Left at the condo, it becomes a $200 tow the first time you run low.

05

Glow And Sound

Wake the dash with the key, then press Power on the small silver remote tethered to the dashboard. Mode runs solid, seven chase patterns, pulse, scan, strobe, fade, S.O.S and music or voice reactive modes. Color covers red, hot pink, pink, purple, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, white and two cycling options. Speed has five levels.

Glow lights are decoration. After sunset your headlights, tail lights and blinkers are what keep you legal and visible. For music, key to on, open Bluetooth on your phone and select this cart's speaker. Keep it low enough to hear a siren, and turn it down through the neighborhoods at night.

06

Where It Can Legally Go

4LB12L is titled, tagged and insured as a Low Speed Vehicle under Florida Statute 320.01 and 49 C.F.R. 571.500, and Florida Statute 316.2122 puts it on public roads posted 35 mph or less. That is Scenic Gulf Drive through Miramar Beach and Destin, County Road 30A through Santa Rosa Beach, and the neighborhood streets between them.

Never US-98 at any point, including crossing it anywhere other than a legal signalized intersection. Never sidewalks, beach walkovers, dune trails or the sand.

Communities write their own rules on private roads, and several along 30A and inside Sandestin do not allow rental vehicles at all. Check your address on the Neighborhood Rules page before you plan the day, park in marked spaces only, and never block a walkover, a bike lane, a crosswalk, a hydrant or a driveway.

07

AirTag, Start And Finish

Every vehicle carries an Apple AirTag that cannot be removed, which is how we find you fast when you need help. If your phone flags an unknown AirTag traveling with you, that is ours, and the ID on the windshield tells you which vehicle it belongs to.

It arrives clean and charged by your start time, sometimes early, because drivers route by geography rather than the clock. Early is yours to use. If nobody is home we park it neatly out of the way.

1. Charge to 90 percent or better and leave it plugged in. Under 90 is a $100 charge.
2. Key back in the lockbox, digits scrambled. Cord back in the vehicle.
3. Text (850) 830-4699 when it is ready. We come at the end of the rental or shortly after, depending on the route.

Charges worth dodging: key or remote $50, cord $50, stranded tow $200, late return $100 an hour, citations passed through plus $35 admin. The rest is in the Terms.

08

If Something Is Off

Will not charge

Cord ends dark, go to the breaker. A tripped GFI is nearly always the answer. Reset, replug, watch for the glow. Still nothing, unplug for thirty seconds and retry. Two vehicles at the house means two separate circuits.

Will not start or move

Tow switch on RUN, key twice right, parking brake released, selector fully in F or R. Work that order before you text.

Anything that feels unsafe

Soft tire, steering that pulls, a brake pedal that goes long. Park somewhere safe and legal and text us instead of finishing the drive on it.
