For a truly relaxing getaway, head to Anna Maria Island, where you can get away from the crowds and high-rises and just enjoy everything great about Florida. This seven-mile stretch of land boasts some of the most incredible views, delicious food, and amazing shopping. Since the island is so small, you don’t even need a car to get around! One of the best ways to experience AMI is by renting a golf cart. Here is everything you need to know about getting a golf cart on the island.
History of Golf Carts
Golf carts have been a popular form of transportation for decades, and their history dates back almost a century. The first electric golf cart came into existence in 1932, but the model did not gain attention until the mid-1950s. Many more models were created throughout the 1950s by Merle Williams, and Max Walker created the first gasoline-powered version in 1957. Today, golf carts aren’t just popular with sportsmen, but they are instead accepted by the general population and are perfect for zooming around a small island like Anna Maria.
Driving Golf Carts
Golf carts are intuitive to drive, and they’re perfect for transporting your family and all of your things around the island. All of the golf carts that you will find near our Anna Maria cottages are road ready and will have you going in no time! Golf carts are legal on every street in AMI, as the speed limits are under 35 miles per hour. You’ll be able to go 25 miles before losing charge, giving you plenty of time to get where you need to go.
Where to Rent Golf Carts
There are several golf cart rental services near our Anna Maria Island accommodations, but one of the most popular is AMI Adventure Rentals. Choose a golf cart that fits 4, 6, or 8 passengers to suit your entire family. You can choose either a gas or electric cart, and the company will deliver your golf cart free to your rental.

Rental Info
As with any vehicle, there are a few restrictions when it comes to renting a golf cart. Anyone driving the golf cart must be aged 25 or over and have valid insurance as well as a driver’s license. At AMI Adventure Rentals, gas-powered golf carts must be picked up in person, while electric carts can be delivered. Renters must be present when picking up the vehicle or when it is being delivered so that they can show valid license and insurance.
