Golf carts in Fort Lauderdale: dealers, service, rentals and where you can drive

Fort Lauderdale golf cart dealers and brands

Start on Powerline Road. Golf Car Depot at 6500 Powerline is Broward's largest cart showroom — E-Z-GO, ICON, Evolution, Denago and Tomberlin new, a deep pre-owned lot, financing and mobile service — and Broward Electric Car (the county's established E-Z-GO and Cushman dealer) now lists the same address, so one stop covers both. Beachside Golf Cars on W Broward Boulevard is the other high-volume lot, with rent-to-own and commercial carts. For Club Car, ICON and Bintelli, Prime Golf Cars has a Fort Lauderdale location backed by its Riviera Beach main store; CT Car Golf Carts sells street-legal and custom carts with financing, from a Hallandale Beach workshop.

Prices: $8,000–$12,000 for a basic new four-seater, $12,000–$18,000 for six-seaters and lifted carts, $18,000–$35,000 for a street-legal LSV, $4,500–$9,000 for dealer used carts. Fort Lauderdale dealers see a lot of marina and yacht-crew buyers, so most stock utility beds, cargo boxes and salt-resistant packages — ask, because they are not always on the floor.

If you are shopping new in Broward, also check Davie and Pompano Beach; both have dealers within fifteen minutes.

Golf cart service, repair and mobile repair in Fort Lauderdale

"Golf cart service Fort Lauderdale" and "mobile golf cart shop" are the two most common ways people reach this page, and the answer splits the same way. Shop service: Golf Car Depot and Broward Electric Car (E-Z-GO and Cushman warranty work), Beachside Golf Cars, All Star Golf Car and Prime Golf Cars all run service departments and take carts bought elsewhere. Mobile service: Golf Car Depot and Prime Golf Cars both send a technician to your community or marina, which is worth the call-out fee when the cart will not move.

If the cart needs to go to a shop and you have no trailer, A.A.I. Golf Cart Transport will move it for a flat fee — cheaper than a tow truck and they know how to strap a cart. Budget $900–$1,800 for a lead-acid battery pack, $2,000–$4,500 for a lithium conversion (the default recommendation in South Florida's heat and salt), $300–$900 for controller or motor work, and $150–$300 for an annual service. Carts kept near the Intracoastal need terminals cleaned every six months.

Where you can drive a golf cart in Fort Lauderdale and Broward

Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale do not open public streets to plain golf carts, so a standard cart stays inside gated communities and private property. A titled, insured low-speed vehicle (LSV) — 20–25 mph, VIN, lights, mirrors, seat belts, windshield — can be driven on any road posted 35 mph or under, which in practice means the residential grids of Victoria Park, Rio Vista, the Las Olas Isles, Coral Ridge, Wilton Manors, Oakland Park and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. It does not include Federal Highway, Sunrise, Oakland Park Boulevard or A1A where posted above 35.

Golf Car Depot, Broward Electric Car, Prime Golf Cars and CT Car all sell LSV-spec carts; converting an existing cart runs $2,500–$5,000 plus a VIN inspection before the tax collector will title it. Drivers need a valid license and PIP/PDL insurance, and since 2023 anyone under 18 needs a learner's permit for any cart on a public road.

Golf cart rentals in Fort Lauderdale

Two options: Ocean Golf Car Rental on Powerline Road (open seven days, street-legal and lifted carts by the day or week) and Luxe Kart, which delivers luxury six-seat LSVs for events, weddings and visitors. Broward Electric Car, Beachside and Prime also rent for commercial and event use. Because Broward has no cart-friendly public streets outside LSV rules, rentals here are mostly for events, boat shows and gated-community guests rather than beach cruising — for that, see Pompano Beach or Hollywood.
