Here’s everything you need to operate your cart.
Getting the key
Lockbox codes go only to verified drivers on the signed rental agreement. If your code didn’t arrive, ask your group’s primary driver — we can’t reissue to anyone outside the agreement.
Primary drivers: your code was sent twice — at booking start by text and email, and again the night before by email. Check spam if you’re missing the latest copy.
- Lift the middle row seat at the armrest. The lockbox is mounted alongside the battery, just below the bench.
- Set the 4 digits, then slide the black tab downward. Lid pops up. Key’s inside.
Middle row, seat up, lockbox alongside the battery.
Charging the cart
Plug in every night on a standard outdoor outlet — no special equipment, just the cord we provide. The touchscreen shows your battery percentage anytime you want a status check.
Finding the charge port
Driver’s side, behind a small black flap. Flip the flap up, plug in.
Charge port closed and open.
The dial above the port tells you when it’s done
A small two-tone gauge sits above the port. Red = CHARGING. Green = FULL.
Always wait for green. Pulling the cord while the pointer is still on red means starting tomorrow under 100%.
Cord test: Both ends of the extension cord should glow when plugged in. If they’re dark, the outlet’s probably tripped. Try a different circuit before assuming the cart is the problem.
Charging habits that protect your trip
- Plug in nightly. Every night, no exceptions.
- One cart per outlet. Two carts on the same circuit will trip the breaker.
- Older buildings need a dedicated circuit. Unplug the coffee maker and TV before plugging in the cart.
- Cord rides with you. Don’t leave it at the property. If the battery runs low away from home, you’ll need the cord.
- 12-gauge, outdoor-rated cord only. Lighter cords overheat and can fail.
The 50% rule: Below half charge, the battery drops noticeably faster than the top half drops. Treat 50% as your "head home" floor.
Reading the battery on the touchscreen
Look at the display above the steering wheel. The number labeled SOC (State of Charge) is your battery percentage in real time. 99% reads as full.
SOC reading shown at 81%.
Bluetooth audio & touchscreen
The touchscreen above the steering wheel is wired for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Turn the key to ON, open Bluetooth on your phone, pick the cart’s speaker name — music streams through the cabin speakers and your phone mirrors to the dash.
Touchscreen with CarPlay and Android Auto.
Glow lights
Start the cart (key in ignition, dashboard lit), grab the silver remote tethered to the dash by cord, and press Power.
Mode: cycle through solid, running effects, pulse, scan, strobe, fade, S.O.S., music-reactive, voice-reactive.
Color: red, hot pink, pink, purple, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, white, color cycle, color fade.
Speed: five speed levels for whichever effect you’ve picked.
If the lights won’t come on: Look low on the dashboard for a black switch with a blue indicator light. Flip it to ON. Still nothing? Verify the ignition key is turned (dash should be lit). Leave the other toggle switches alone.
Apple AirTag — on every cart
Every Beach Better rental carries an installed Apple AirTag that can’t be removed. It’s there so we can locate and help you faster when something needs help. Each cart has its own ID number on the windshield — if your iPhone surfaces an AirTag notification, that number lets you confirm the alert came from our vehicle and not someone else’s.
What’s included
The cart comes ready to drive — nothing’s an upgrade tier.
Driver requirements & rules
- Drivers must be 22 or older. Valid driver’s license required, plus personal auto insurance that covers LSV operation.
- Two drivers included on every booking. Each additional driver is $15 and signs the agreement online.
- Lockable storage box add-on. $6.50/day. Add it online without coming to the store.
- No lap riders, including infants. Every passenger gets a seat and a belt.
- Accidents on public roads → call 911. Florida law requires a crash report when property damage exceeds $500.
- Roads only. Public roads posted 35 mph or less — Scenic Gulf Drive, 30A, neighborhood streets. Never the beach, sidewalks, or Emerald Coast Parkway (Business 98).
- Se habla español.
When your rental begins
The cart will be clean and ready by your reservation start time. If it’s ready earlier, we’ll send a heads-up so you can get rolling.
Delivery rental? Because of how many deliveries we run daily, the cart may arrive earlier than your scheduled window. When that happens, you’re welcome to start using it right away.
We can’t hold delivery to match a property manager’s preferred window. When that comes up, we park the cart neatly to the side, out of the way.
When you’re done
- Key back in the lockbox. Set it inside, close the lid, scramble the digits.
- Text us when it’s ready. (850) 830-4699. We’ll come at the end of your rental window or shortly after, depending on the route.
Common questions
How many people can comfortably ride in a 6-seat golf cart?
Six adults, comfortably. The cart has three forward-facing rows with full 3-point seat belts at every seat — no jump seats, no rear-facing benches. Cup holders at every row, plenty of legroom across all three rows. Children five and under need a car seat or booster per Florida law, same as a regular vehicle.
Will the white cart show every speck of sand and dirt?
Less than you’d think. We wash and detail between every rental, and the cart will look sharp when it arrives. Day-to-day use along Scenic Gulf Drive and 30A will leave normal road dust — same as any vehicle — but the cart is cleaned again before the next renter. You’re not penalized for normal use.
Can I drive a rental golf cart in light rain?
Yes, briefly. The cart has a roof and windshield so a passing shower won’t shut down your trip. In a steady downpour, pull over and wait it out — the cabin is open on the sides, so you and your passengers will get wet, and standing water on the roads becomes a traction issue. Never drive through deep puddles or flooded streets.
Can I install a car seat or booster in a Beach Better golf cart rental?
Yes — and Florida law often requires it. Children under three must ride in a properly installed car seat, and children under five typically need a booster, same as in a regular vehicle. Every seat in the cart has a 3-point seat belt, which most modern infant and convertible seats are designed to use. Bring your own seat (we don’t provide them), buckle it in following the manufacturer’s instructions, and verify the latch is snug before driving. Transporting a child under three without a proper car seat results in immediate cart confiscation with no refund.
Troubleshooting
Cart isn’t charging
If the extension cord ends aren’t lit, start with the breaker — a tripped GFI is the cause about nine times out of ten. Reset, replug, retry. If the breaker checks out but the cart still isn’t charging, unplug, count to 30, plug back in. Charging more than one cart? Each needs its own outlet on its own circuit.
Cart won’t power up or move
Check the tow switch first. It must be on RUN, not TOW. It’s near the battery under the seat, or front passenger side near the glovebox. Then turn the ignition key two clicks clockwise — first click lights the dash, second click wakes the cart.
Stuck? Send us a photo first.
About 90% of the time, a quick photo or 10-second video tells us exactly what’s happening — faster than describing it. That’s the first thing we’ll ask for, so lead with it.
