Tequesta is a small village of about 6,100 residents tucked along the Loxahatchee River in northern Palm Beach County. It sits close enough to Jupiter that most residents have easy access to a handful of dealers, yet the village has its own rules about where golf carts may travel — so it pays to understand both the local ordinances and Florida state law before you buy or rent.
The search query that brings most people to this page is specifically for ACE of Carts Tequesta, the family-owned dealership on US-1. If you are comparing options or need service, the Jupiter page lists two additional dealers a short drive south.

ACE of Carts
552 US-1, Tequesta, Florida, 33469
ACE of Carts, on US-1 in Tequesta, is a family-owned multi-location dealership carrying new and used carts from Club Car, Yamaha, ICON, Denago, and Epic, along with street-legal inventory, financing, trade-in valuation, rentals, a service department, fleet service, and battery care — the site describes it as Florida's Golf Cart Superstore with the area's largest selection.
The dealer on US-1 in Tequesta
ACE of Carts sits at 552 US-1 and carries a wide range of new and used golf carts. The brands listed on their site include Club Car, Yamaha, ICON, Denago, and Epic, covering everything from basic two-seaters to street-legal low-speed vehicles (LSVs). They also offer financing and will value a trade-in, which can make upgrading an older cart more straightforward.
Beyond sales, ACE of Carts runs a service department and handles fleet service — useful if a homeowners association or business needs multiple carts maintained at once. The site also lists rentals and a dedicated battery care section, which matters in South Florida where salt air and humidity are hard on lead-acid packs. The company operates additional locations in Stuart, Viera, and Daytona Beach.
If you need a second opinion or want to compare inventory, Jupiter's two dealers — Jupiter Golf Carts and Perfect Day Golf Carts — are a short drive south on US-1 and are covered on the Jupiter page.
What golf carts cost and what to expect when buying
New basic four-seat carts typically run $8,000–$12,000 in Florida, while a six-seater or lifted model is typically $12,000–$18,000. A factory street-legal LSV — one that meets federal safety standards and can be titled and insured — typically costs $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.
Battery replacement is one of the bigger ongoing costs. A lead-acid pack runs about $900–$1,800, but near the coast in South Florida those packs typically last only three to four years due to salt and humidity. A lithium conversion costs $2,000–$4,500 and typically lasts eight to ten years, making it the preferred choice for coastal owners. Annual service — fluid checks, brake inspection, tire rotation — typically runs $150–$300.
If you are weighing a standard golf cart against a street-legal LSV, the guide below explains the legal and practical differences in detail. The cost guide covers new versus used trade-offs and what to inspect on a pre-owned cart.

Where you can drive a golf cart in Tequesta
Tequesta permits golf cart use in specific communities under village and Palm Beach County rules. A standard golf cart — not titled as an LSV — may only travel on streets that have been locally designated for cart use, generally roads posted at 30 mph or less, and only between sunrise and sunset. Drivers 18 and older must carry a valid ID; under Florida law that took effect in October 2023, anyone under 18 needs at least a learner's permit to operate a golf cart on public roads.
A titled and insured LSV follows different rules: it may travel on any road posted at 35 mph or less, day or night, because it meets federal motor vehicle safety standards. That broader access is why some Tequesta residents choose to register their cart as an LSV, particularly if they want to cross busier connector roads. Conversion to street-legal status typically costs $2,500–$5,000 through a dealer.
Before driving on any public road in the village, confirm the specific streets that are designated for cart use with the Village of Tequesta or Palm Beach County — rules can change and vary by neighborhood. The Florida golf cart laws guide below summarizes statewide requirements.
