This page covers where to rent, what to buy, how to drive legally on the island, and what the salt air does to batteries.

Fort Myers Beach sits on Estero Island, a narrow barrier island in Lee County where a golf cart is often the most practical way to move between the beach, restaurants, and resorts. The Town of Fort Myers Beach permits golf cart and LSV use on many local streets under its own ordinance, and registered LSVs can travel certain sections of Estero Boulevard under Florida statute — making the island one of the more cart-friendly communities on the Gulf Coast.
Salt air, humidity, and the occasional hurricane make the coastal environment unusually hard on lead-acid batteries and electrical connectors. Most dealers and rental operators on the island have shifted toward lithium-powered carts for that reason. Whether you are visiting for a week and want a cart delivered to your rental, or you live here and are shopping for something to keep in the garage, the businesses below cover most of what you need.

Renting a golf cart on Fort Myers Beach
Two operators listed here focus specifically on rentals with free delivery to your door. Beach Carts of FMB, on Estero Boulevard, offers gas and electric carts in 4- and 6-passenger configurations and delivers to Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva, and Fort Myers properties. Island Carts FMB, on Buttonwood Drive, runs an all-electric fleet with lithium power, Bluetooth stereos, and the street-legal equipment required for Estero Boulevard travel, also with free delivery and pickup.
Rental pricing across Florida typically runs $120–$250 per day or $500–$1,000 per week for a 6-passenger cart in season. Rates vary by cart type, season, and rental length, so check each operator's current rate card before booking. Both operators serve the island's resorts, condos, and vacation rentals, which is useful if you are staying somewhere without easy access to a dealer.
If neither island rental operator has availability — the island is small and demand spikes during season — Affordable Carts on San Carlos Boulevard also lists rentals as a service. The Fort Myers page on this site covers additional rental options a short drive across the bridge.

Buying a golf cart or LSV on the island
The Cart Shack, on San Carlos Boulevard, carries several LSV-class brands — Honor, Jet EV, Alset, EZ Kruiser, and Voyager — alongside refurbished and used inventory. It has an in-house service department and parts counter, and offers financing and trade-in. For buyers who want a cart that can legally travel Estero Boulevard sections posted at 35 mph or less, an LSV-class vehicle is the right category to look at. Affordable Carts, also on San Carlos Boulevard, is a multi-location chain with E-Z-GO and Club Car inventory, financing, and a service department.
New basic 4-passenger carts typically run $8,000–$12,000; lifted or 6-passenger models run $12,000–$18,000; street-legal LSVs are typically $18,000–$35,000 depending on brand and features. Dealer used carts generally fall in the $4,500–$9,000 range, and off-lease fleet carts can start around $3,000. Given the salt-air environment here, it is worth asking specifically about lithium battery options — lithium packs typically last 8–10 years versus 3–4 years for lead-acid near the coast.
If you want a wider selection, the Fort Myers page lists more than a dozen dealers across the bridge, including Cart Nation, X Golf Cars, and Golf & Electric Vehicles, among others. Bonita Springs also has three dealers — Affordable Carts, Golf Cart Monkey, and SWFL Golf Carts — within reasonable driving distance.

Service, repairs, and battery upgrades
Both The Cart Shack and Affordable Carts on San Carlos Boulevard list service departments and parts counters. If you own a cart on the island, the salt air and humidity make annual servicing more important than it would be inland — connectors corrode, terminals oxidize, and battery cells degrade faster in coastal conditions. Annual service typically runs $150–$300 at a Florida shop; controller or motor repairs generally fall in the $300–$900 range.
Lithium battery conversions are the most common upgrade request in coastal markets like Fort Myers Beach. A lithium pack typically costs $2,000–$4,500 installed and lasts 8–10 years, compared with $900–$1,800 for a lead-acid replacement that may need replacing again in 3–4 years. The Cart Shack's site specifically highlights lithium inventory, and Island Carts FMB runs a lithium rental fleet, so both are reasonable starting points for a conversion conversation.
For more extensive repair needs or specialty parts, the Fort Myers page lists Golf & Electric Vehicles Parts/Service and CartsMD LLC, among others, a short drive across the Matanzas Pass bridge.

Where you can drive a golf cart on Fort Myers Beach
The Town of Fort Myers Beach permits golf carts on many local streets under its own ordinance. A standard golf cart — not titled or registered as an LSV — is generally limited to locally designated streets, typically those posted at 30 mph or less, and may only be operated from sunrise to sunset. Registered LSVs, which must meet federal safety equipment standards, can travel Estero Boulevard sections and any Florida road posted at 35 mph or less at any hour.
Florida law requires drivers 18 and older to carry a valid ID when operating a golf cart on public streets. Since October 2023, drivers under 18 must hold at least a learner's permit to operate a golf cart on a public road. Neither age group is required to have a full driver's license for a standard golf cart, but an LSV is treated more like a motor vehicle and requires a valid license to operate on public roads.
If you plan to drive to Sanibel or Captiva — both Beach Carts of FMB and Island Carts FMB list those islands as delivery areas — note that the Sanibel Causeway is a state road and a standard golf cart cannot legally travel it. A street-legal LSV with proper registration and insurance is required for that route. The Sanibel page on this site lists The Moke and Cabana Club for local options on that island.
