Golf carts in Port Orange: dealers, street-legal options, and where you can drive

What the two Port Orange dealers sell

Blum's Auto Mart (5584 S Nova Rd) describes itself as a street-legal golf cart specialist. The inventory page lists Bintelli carts alongside pre-owned vehicles, and the site offers online financing applications, a trade-in tool, and a vehicle finder for shoppers who have a specific model in mind. Mobile service is also mentioned, which is useful if your cart needs attention at home rather than at the shop.

Coastal Golf Carts (5840 S Ridgewood Ave) carries new Verdi, Coleman, and Kandi models plus Certified Pre-Owned E-Z-GO units. The site lists a full service department, a parts department, lithium battery sales, and delivery. A second location in Melbourne means the company moves enough inventory to stock multiple brands across a range of seating configurations — two-passenger through six-passenger units are shown on the site.

On pricing, a new basic four-seat cart typically runs $8,000–$12,000 in Florida; a six-seater or lifted model is usually $12,000–$18,000; and a street-legal LSV generally falls between $18,000 and $35,000 depending on features. Dealer pre-owned units typically start around $4,500–$9,000. Both dealers offer financing, so it is worth asking each about current terms.

Renting a golf cart in and around Port Orange

Blum's Auto Mart lists rentals as one of its services, making it the only business in this directory that rents carts directly in Port Orange. For a six-seater in season, Florida rental rates typically run $120–$250 per day or $500–$1,000 per week. Call ahead to confirm availability, vehicle size, and whether delivery to your community is included — rental terms vary by operator.

If Blum's does not have the size or dates you need, the nearest rental options are in Daytona Beach to the north, where Beach Carts Daytona and Boogie Down Golf Carts both list rentals, and in New Smyrna Beach to the south, where Grey Carts and e-Bikes and Salty Rentals Sales & Service offer rentals. Ormond Beach also has Daytona Area Rentals and Wave Wheels Golf Cart Rentals listed.

Where you can drive a golf cart in Port Orange

Port Orange permits golf cart use in specific communities under city and Volusia County rules. A standard golf cart — one not titled or insured as a low-speed vehicle — 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. Crossing a higher-speed road to reach a designated street may be allowed at marked intersections; check with the city for current crossing points.

A low-speed vehicle (LSV) is titled, registered, and insured like a car and can be driven on any road posted 35 mph or less, giving you considerably more range around Port Orange's commercial corridors. LSV conversions typically cost $2,500–$5,000 at a shop, or you can buy a purpose-built LSV from either local dealer.

Florida law requires drivers under 18 to hold at least a learner's permit to operate a golf cart on public roads (a rule in effect since October 2023). Drivers 18 and older must carry a valid ID. These rules apply on public streets; private community roads may have their own additional requirements set by the HOA or property manager.

Batteries, service, and keeping your cart running near the coast

Coastal salt air accelerates corrosion on battery terminals and wiring, and the heat shortens charge cycles on lead-acid packs. A standard lead-acid battery pack typically lasts three to four years in coastal Volusia County and costs about $900–$1,800 to replace. Lithium packs run $2,000–$4,500 for a conversion but last eight to ten years and handle the climate better — Coastal Golf Carts specifically lists lithium batteries in its parts department.

For routine maintenance, annual service at a Florida dealer typically runs $150–$300 and covers connections, brakes, tire pressure, and charger function. Controller or motor repairs generally fall in the $300–$900 range. Neither Port Orange dealer's website lists specific service hours, so call ahead to schedule. If you need repair work and cannot reach either local shop, Boogie Down Golf Carts in Daytona Beach and Salty Rentals Sales & Service in New Smyrna Beach both list repair services.
