Daytona Beach golf cart dealers, rentals, and custom shops

Buying a golf cart in Daytona Beach

The Daytona Beach market has options across every price tier. A new basic 4-seater typically runs $8,000–$12,000, while a lifted or 6-seat model is generally $12,000–$18,000. Street-legal LSVs — which must meet federal safety standards and carry a title, registration, and insurance — typically start around $18,000 and can reach $35,000 for a fully equipped model. Used dealer inventory usually falls in the $4,500–$9,000 range, and off-lease fleet carts can start around $3,000.

Ace of Carts on LPGA Blvd carries multiple brands including Club Car, Yamaha, ICON, Denago, and Epic, and offers financing and trade-in appraisals. Cart Nation on N Nova Rd sells factory-direct electric carts in 2-, 4-, and 6-seat configurations with a range of series from performance to hunting-spec. eWheelz Golf Carts out on Tomoka Farms Rd covers new inventory, pre-owned carts, financing, and insurance in one place, with the added convenience of a multi-location service network.

If you are open to something unconventional, Cricket Mini Golf Carts on Fentress Blvd manufactures its own lightweight mini cart line with a five-year warranty — useful for tight communities, assisted-living campuses, or anyone who wants a smaller footprint. Their Beach Buggeez collapsible model is designed specifically for coastal use. B Wilson Enterprises on S Nova Rd also lists as a dealer, but the website was unreachable at time of check, so a phone call is the best first step.

For a custom build rather than an off-the-shelf purchase, Daytona Performance Carts — in the same Fentress Blvd building as Cricket — builds golf carts, LSVs, and UTVs from the ground up and machines custom parts in-house. That makes them worth a call if you want something specific that a standard dealer catalog does not cover.

Renting a golf cart near the Daytona Beach shore

Two businesses on S Atlantic Ave — Beach Carts Daytona at 313 S Atlantic Ave and Boogie Down Golf Carts & Bicycles at 2304 S Atlantic Ave — are positioned for beachside rentals. Both list rental services, though Boogie Down's website was unreachable when checked and Beach Carts operates through a Facebook page, so calling ahead to confirm availability, pricing, and delivery options is the practical first step for either.

Across Florida, a 6-seat cart rents for roughly $120–$250 per day or $500–$1,000 per week during peak season. Rates vary by cart size, season, and whether delivery is included. eWheelz Golf Carts on Tomoka Farms Rd also lists rentals and has experience coordinating deliveries across its multi-location network, which can be useful if you need a cart dropped at a specific address.

Before renting, confirm that the streets where you plan to drive are designated for golf cart use under Daytona Beach's ordinance, or that the cart qualifies as an LSV for broader road access. Daytona Beach Shores has its own rules separate from the city, so check with the rental provider about where the cart is street-legal.

Custom builds, LSV conversions, and performance upgrades

Daytona Performance Carts on Fentress Blvd is the most specialized custom shop in the directory. Their site describes full builds and repairs for golf carts, LSVs, and UTVs, with an in-house CNC shop for fabricating parts that are not available off the shelf. They stock lifts, stereos, lighting, tires, and wheels, and handle everything from a single upgrade to a ground-up build.

An LSV conversion — adding the lighting, mirrors, seatbelts, and speed capability required under Florida law — typically costs $2,500–$5,000 depending on the base cart and what components are needed. A converted LSV must be titled, registered, and insured to operate on roads posted up to 35 mph. If you are starting from a stock cart and want full road access, getting a quote from a shop like Daytona Performance Carts before buying the base vehicle can help you budget the total cost accurately.

Cricket Mini Golf Carts also offers custom and lifted builds within their mini cart line, which is a different category — lighter, more compact, and suited to communities or campuses rather than open roads. Their commercial and medical variants are built to order, and the five-year warranty covers the full cart rather than just the drivetrain.

Battery care and service in a coastal climate

Atlantic salt air and humidity shorten lead-acid battery life noticeably — expect roughly 3–4 years near the coast versus about 4 years inland. A replacement lead-acid pack typically runs $900–$1,800. Lithium conversions cost more upfront, around $2,000–$4,500, but the packs last 8–10 years and are less sensitive to the charging irregularities that coastal humidity can cause. Several Daytona Beach dealers have noted the shift toward lithium among local buyers for exactly this reason.

For routine maintenance, annual service typically runs $150–$300 and covers battery checks, brake inspection, tire pressure, and connection cleaning — all of which matter more in a salt-air environment. Controller or motor repairs generally fall in the $300–$900 range depending on the fault. Daytona Performance Carts lists full service and repair. Boogie Down Golf Carts & Bicycles also lists repairs, though their site was unreachable at time of check — call ahead to confirm.

If you need service and the Daytona Beach shops are not the right fit, Ormond Beach just to the north has eight listed businesses including Advantage Golf Cars, which lists repairs, and Wave Wheels Golf Cart, which covers sales, rentals, and repairs. New Smyrna Beach to the south has Salty Rentals Sales & Service, which handles all three as well.

Where you can drive a golf cart in Daytona Beach

Daytona Beach permits golf cart use in specific communities under a city ordinance — not citywide. That means you need to confirm your neighborhood or destination is covered before assuming you can drive on public streets. Daytona Beach Shores, which borders the city, operates under its own separate rules. If you are unsure whether a particular street is designated, the city's public works or code enforcement office can clarify.

Under Florida law, a standard golf cart may only be driven on streets that have been locally designated for cart use, generally roads posted at 30 mph or less, and only between sunrise and sunset. A Low-Speed Vehicle — one that meets federal safety equipment standards, is titled and insured, and is capable of 20–25 mph — can be driven on any road posted 35 mph or less without the sunrise-sunset restriction.

Since October 2023, Florida law requires anyone under 18 to hold a learner's permit or driver's license to operate a golf cart on public roads. Drivers 18 and older must carry a valid ID. These rules apply whether the cart is owned or rented, so rental providers are required to ask. If you plan to use a cart for broader road access beyond designated community streets, an LSV-titled vehicle is the practical route.
