L4OB03L Ocean Blue 4 Seat Touchscreen Electric Golf Cart Rental Guide, Miramar Beach

01

One Cushion And You Have The Key

The front seat cushion lifts straight up, and the black lockbox is sitting on the floor underneath it, right alongside the battery. One lift, one code, and you are holding the key.

1. Lift the front seat cushion. The box is on the floor underneath, next to the battery.
2. Line up your four digits. Straight across. They park half a notch off more often than you would expect.
3. Slide the black button down. The lid pops and the key is right there.

02

The Dash, And Why It Beats A Phone Mount

Turn the key to the first position and the dash and screen come up together. Give it a beat to boot before you decide something is broken. The screen handles audio and vehicle status, and the pad set into the dash charges a compatible phone with no cable at all. Lay it flat, it charges. That is the whole trick.

• The pad only works with the cart on. Key off means no charging, so a phone left on the pad overnight is a phone that did not charge.
• Your phone leaves with you. Every stop, no exceptions. This is an open vehicle with no lockable compartment, and a phone sitting on a lit dash pad is an advertisement.
• Cases matter. Thick cases, pop sockets and metal card wallets block wireless charging. If nothing happens, take the case off and try again before you text us.
• Hot phone, slow charge. A dash in Florida sun gets warm and phones throttle charging when they heat up. Not a fault.
• Screen frozen? Key fully off, count to five, key back on. That clears almost everything, and a dead screen never stops you driving.

03

The Part We Will Not Skip

This is a licensed motor vehicle that weighs a fraction of what your car weighs. Every approved driver should read this before taking the wheel for the first time.

• Four seats, four belts, four riders. Children counted the same as adults. No laps, no standing, nobody on the back step while it moves, hands and feet inside.
• 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. Codes go to approved drivers only, and anyone else driving is prohibited use, which voids coverage and shifts responsibility to the renter.
• Car seats travel 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.
• Florida DUI law applies exactly as it does to a car. Choose the driver before dinner.
• 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.

04

Pulling Away

1. Belts on before the key goes in.
2. Tow switch reads RUN, not TOW. Near the battery compartment under the seat, or on the passenger side by the glovebox. On TOW it is dead by design.
3. Key twice to the right. One click for the dash and screen, two for the drive system.
4. F or R at a complete stop. Never while it is still rolling.
5. Ease onto the pedal. Electric torque is instant and silent, so give it the first block.
6. Headlights, blinkers and horn. Use them on public roads the way you would in a car.

05

Two Charges To Keep Track Of

Your phone is the one on the dash pad. The vehicle is the one that matters. Plug the cart into a standard wall outlet every night, roughly eight hours from low to full, and any time it is parked at the house during the day. Expect about 20 to 22 miles from a full charge, less with four aboard and the glow system running all evening.

• Every night, even after a short run. Habit beats memory on vacation.
• One outlet per vehicle. Two on a single circuit trips the breaker overnight.
• Older place, clear the circuit. Unplug the coffee maker and the TV from that outlet first.
• Both cord ends glow when it is really 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.

The round ECO gauge sits above the glovebox on the passenger side, and the screen shows battery status once the vehicle is on. Lithium reads honest through the whole pack, so trust the needle and check it before you leave for dinner rather than on the way home.

06

Sound And Glow

Pair through the screen, or open Bluetooth on your phone and pick this cart's speaker. Either way it stays paired for the week. Keep the volume where you can still hear a siren, a bike bell or somebody shouting, and bring it down through the neighborhoods after dark.

For the lights: dash lit first, 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.

Underglow is decoration, not lighting. Headlights, tail lights and blinkers are what keep you legal and visible after sunset.

07

Legal Roads

L4OB03L 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 means Scenic Gulf Drive through Miramar Beach and Destin, County Road 30A through Santa Rosa Beach, and the neighborhood streets between them. The orange lines on the map are your roads.

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

08

The AirTag, Arrival And Return

Every vehicle carries an Apple AirTag that cannot be removed, which is how we find you quickly when you need help. If your phone flags an unknown AirTag traveling with you, that is ours, and the ID is L4OB03L, matching the windshield.

It arrives clean and charged by your start time, sometimes early, because drivers run a geographic route rather than the clock, which is how delivery stays free. Early is yours to use. If nobody is home we park it neatly to the side and keep moving.

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, phone off the pad.
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: lost key or remote $50, missing cord $50, stranded tow $200, late return $100 an hour, and any citation passed through plus a $35 admin fee. The rest is in the Terms.

09

When It Sulks

Will not charge

Cord ends dark, go to the breaker. A tripped GFI is nearly always the answer. Reset, replug, look for the glow. Still nothing, unplug for thirty seconds and try again. 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 list before you text.

Screen dark, or the pad is not charging

Screen: key fully off, five seconds, key back on. Pad: the cart has to be on, the phone has to be flat and centered, and a thick case or a metal card holder will block it. Neither one stops you driving.
