Plan your trip

Book before you arrive

A few things go fast or are much easier to have waiting at your rental. Tick them off as you go.

🛺 Golf cart (street-legal LSV)Carts are the most popular rental on the island and they do run out. Reserve as soon as your dates are set, especially for spring, summer and holiday weeks. You'll need a valid driver's license (most companies also ask for proof of auto insurance).
