Golf carts in Bunnell, Florida: dealers, street-legal options, and what to know

Buying a golf cart in Bunnell

Two dealers sit on North State Street and a third is on US-1, so you can compare options without leaving town. eWheelz Golf Carts, at 108 N State St, carries new and pre-owned inventory, offers financing and insurance, and accepts trade-ins — a useful combination if you already own a cart you want to move on. Brian's Custom Golf Cars, at 2550 N State St, focuses on custom builds; because its website was unreachable at the time of our check, call (386) 586-5458 to confirm what is currently available. PB Golf Cart Guys, at 7755 US-1 Unit B, is a family-run shop selling new and used carts with customization and lithium service on offer.

On pricing, a new basic 4-seater typically runs $8,000–$12,000 across Florida; a 6-seater or lifted model is generally $12,000–$18,000. Dealer-used carts typically fall in the $4,500–$9,000 range, and off-lease fleet carts can start around $3,000. If you are weighing a street-legal LSV, budget $18,000–$35,000 new. eWheelz lists LSV inventory and financing, which can spread that cost out considerably.

Because Bunnell is a smaller market, inventory turns over quickly. It is worth calling ahead or checking each dealer's website before making the drive, especially if you have a specific model or seating configuration in mind. If local stock is thin, the St. Augustine dealers — about 30 miles south — add six more options including Golf Cart Factory, Mad Dog Premium Golf Carts, and Premium Golf Cart Co.

Custom builds and lithium upgrades

Two of Bunnell's three dealers specifically mention customization. Brian's Custom Golf Cars is built around it — the name says as much — though you will need to call to learn current build options since the site was not accessible. PB Golf Cart Guys also offers design customization, letting buyers choose colors, features, and seating layout. eWheelz covers parts and accessories as part of its superstore model, which can support aftermarket upgrades even if you bought your cart elsewhere.

Lithium battery conversions are worth a close look in Flagler County. The coastal heat here shortens lead-acid battery life to roughly three to four years, while a lithium pack typically lasts eight to ten years. A lead-acid replacement typically costs $900–$1,800; a lithium conversion runs about $2,000–$4,500 depending on voltage and capacity. PB Golf Cart Guys lists lithium as a keyword service, and eWheelz carries parts. If you are buying used, ask the seller when the batteries were last replaced and what chemistry they are.

Street-legal LSVs and service in Bunnell

eWheelz explicitly lists street-legal and LSV inventory, along with insurance — two things that go hand in hand if you plan to drive on public roads. A low-speed vehicle is titled and registered like a car, carries a VIN, and can legally travel on any Florida road posted at 35 mph or less. Converting an existing cart to LSV spec typically costs $2,500–$5,000 and requires lights, mirrors, seatbelts, and a windshield that meet federal standards. If you are unsure whether a cart qualifies, the guide below walks through the differences.

For ongoing maintenance, PB Golf Cart Guys lists repair and service, and eWheelz has a service department across its multi-location network. Annual service on a golf cart typically runs $150–$300 in Florida. Controller or motor repairs generally cost $300–$900 depending on the fault. Because Brian's Custom Golf Cars' website was unreachable, it is unclear whether they offer repair work — call to ask if you need service and want to stay close to home.

Where you can drive a golf cart in Bunnell

Florida law allows golf carts only on streets that a local government has specifically designated for cart use, generally roads posted at 30 mph or less, and only between sunrise and sunset. Bunnell has not published a blanket cart-friendly street map, so the practical step is to contact the City of Bunnell before you start driving. Driving on a non-designated road can result in a citation even if the speed limit looks low enough.

If your cart is titled and insured as an LSV, the rules are different: you can use any road posted at 35 mph or less, at any hour, with no sunrise-sunset restriction. Florida also updated its rules in October 2023 — anyone under 18 operating a golf cart on a public road now needs at least a learner's permit. Drivers 18 and older must carry a valid ID. These rules apply whether you bought locally or brought a cart from out of state.
