Booking

How do summer rentals work?

During June, July and August we rent by the week, Saturday to Saturday. You can book one week or several back to back.

Can I rent for just a few days?

Yes, outside of summer. In spring and fall you can pick any start and end dates when you book online.

How much is due when I book?

A $150 deposit holds your cart, and the rest is due at pickup. If your rental totals less than $150, you simply pay it in full when you book.

Can I book by phone instead?

Of course. Call (704) 779-0263 and you'll talk directly to the owner.

The carts

How far can I go on a charge?

About 40 miles on one charge with our upgraded lithium batteries, versus roughly 20 for a standard cart. Plug it in each night and you're set for the next day. Please keep the battery above 30% while driving.

How many people fit?

Choose a 4-seater or a 6-seater. Our 6-seaters have plenty of room for the family plus chairs, a cooler, and even the dogs.

Do I have to pay for parking?

No. Our carts are registered with the Town of Oak Island, which means free parking for you.
