Your vehicle insurance coverage

  • Providing Local Style Rentals with your insurance information DOES NOT guarantee insurance coverage.

  • It is the Renter’s sole responsibility to ensure liability coverage and property damage with the renter’s auto insurance company before signing the rental agreement.

  • The renter is responsible for ALL liability and damages that may result while operating a Local Style Rentals street-legal golf cart, also known as a Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV).

It is refundable, if you......

Do you want the deposit back?

  • The owners have confirmed no parking violations.

  • The cart was rinsed and cleared of trash. Cover the front charging ports before rinsing the cart.

  • The cart is fully charged and plugged in

  • The owners confirmed no damage, and the cart is in working order.

  • The key must be returned to the lock box on your last rental day. A lost or damaged key is $75.

How to avoid a parking ticket.

  • Our golf cart comes with a pre-paid parking pass.

  • Fines will be issued even with a residential parking pass if you do not follow the parking rules.

  • Any fines issued are your responsibility to pay before your check-out date. Deposits will be returned once we confirm no fines were issued during your stay.

  • At spaces marked by BUMPERS: Vehicles must be parked straight, forward facing & centered at either a YELLOW or BLUE (handicapped) parking bumper (sometimes referred to as a “curb,” “stub,” or “stop block”).

    • Parking is not permitted in unmarked or right-of-way (streetside) areas.

    • All unmarked areas in the Paid Parking Zone are assumed to be a “no parking” area; the absence of “No Parking” signage does not indicate parking is allowed.

    • NO BUMPER = NO PARKING
