Marco Island is one of the more cart-friendly communities on Florida's southwest coast. The city permits golf cart use on many local streets under a municipal ordinance, and the island's compact layout — beaches, restaurants, and residential neighborhoods all within a few miles — makes a rented cart a practical way to get around without a car. Visitor demand is strong enough that two rental operations have set up shop here, both on or near North Collier Boulevard.
What the island does not have, at least among listed businesses, is a full-service dealership or repair shop. Residents who want to buy a cart or need mechanical work will need to look toward Naples, about 20 miles north, which has more than a dozen dealers. That said, both local shops list dealer and rental services, so it is worth calling ahead to ask about used inventory or light service work before making the drive.

Scootertown - Motor scooter and Golf Cart Rental
1095 Bald Eagle Dr Unit 4, Marco Island, Florida, 34145
Scootertown, on Bald Eagle Drive, rents six-person golf carts along with motor scooters and bicycles; their site lists the Denago brand, street-legal carts, delivery, and repair as keywords, so call ahead to confirm current inventory and services.
Renting a golf cart on Marco Island
Both shops on the island rent golf carts, and both mention delivery as a service on their websites — useful if you want a cart waiting at your rental property when you arrive. Marco Island Bike Rentals (917 N Collier Blvd, (239) 235-0519) is part of a multi-activity rental operation that also handles kayaks and waverunners. Their site references street-legal carts, so ask specifically whether the cart they hand you is tagged and insured for road use or limited to designated cart paths.
Scootertown (1095 Bald Eagle Dr Unit 4, (239) 394-8400) lists six-person golf carts and mentions the Denago brand on its site, along with delivery and repair. A six-person cart is a good fit for a family or a group of friends who want to explore the island together. Rental rates for a six-seater in season typically run $120–$250 per day or $500–$1,000 per week across Florida; call each shop for current Marco Island pricing, since rates shift with season and availability.
Before you book, confirm whether the cart is a standard golf cart or a titled low-speed vehicle (LSV). That distinction matters for where you can legally drive it, which is covered in the section below. Also ask about the waiver process — Marco Island Bike Rentals mentions a sign-waiver step on their booking page, so factor that into your arrival time.
Where you can drive a golf cart on Marco Island
Marco Island operates under a city ordinance that designates certain local streets for golf cart use. In practice, the island's grid of residential streets and the routes connecting beaches, shops, and restaurants are largely accessible, but you are still bound by Florida state law on top of local rules. A standard golf cart may only be driven on streets that the local government has specifically designated — generally roads posted at 30 mph or less — and only between sunrise and sunset.
If you want to drive on any road posted at 35 mph or less without the sunrise-sunset restriction, the cart must be titled and registered as a low-speed vehicle (LSV), carry liability insurance, and meet federal safety equipment standards including headlights, turn signals, mirrors, and a seatbelt for each passenger. An LSV conversion typically costs $2,500–$5,000 at a shop equipped to do the work. When renting, ask the shop which category the cart falls into so you know your limits before you pull out of the lot.
Florida law also sets age rules for drivers. Anyone under 18 operating a golf cart on a public street must hold at least a learner's permit — a rule that took effect in October 2023. Drivers 18 and older must carry a valid ID. These rules apply to rented carts just as they do to privately owned ones, so make sure every driver in your group is prepared.
Buying a cart or getting repairs near Marco Island
Neither of the two listed businesses on Marco Island is primarily a sales or service dealership. Scootertown lists repair as a keyword on its site, so it may handle light work — call (239) 394-8400 to ask. For anything more involved, or if you want to buy a cart, the nearest concentration of dealers is in Naples, where more than a dozen businesses operate, including B&W Golf Cars (in business since 1974), Gator Golf Cars, Affordable Carts, and Beach Bugz, which also offers transport. Bonita Springs has three dealers including Golf Cart Monkey and SWFL Golf Carts.
New basic four-seat carts typically run $8,000–$12,000; lifted or six-seat models run $12,000–$18,000; a street-legal LSV from a dealer is typically $18,000–$35,000. Used dealer inventory generally falls in the $4,500–$9,000 range, and off-lease fleet carts can start around $3,000. If you already own a cart and are weighing a battery upgrade, the coastal salt air on Marco Island is harder on lead-acid packs than inland conditions — expect three to four years of service life versus about four years inland. Lithium packs last eight to ten years and handle the humidity better, with conversion costs typically running $2,000–$4,500.
Fort Myers, roughly 40 miles north, has the widest selection in the region, with dealers including Bintelli Golf Carts, Cart Nation, CartsMD, Coastal Carts, and Golf & Electric Vehicles, which also runs a dedicated parts and service location. Fort Myers Beach has four dealers as well, including Beach Carts of FMB and The Cart Shack, and is a shorter drive than downtown Fort Myers for island residents heading north on US-41.

How long do golf cart batteries last near the coast?
