AVALON GOLF CARTS

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What age do I have to be to rent a golf cart?

A: You must be 25 years old to rent a golf cart. Drivers must be at least 18 years old, possess a valid driver’s license, and have access to a major credit card.

Q: Do I need car insurance to rent?

A: Yes. You must have an active automobile insurance policy in your name to rent a golf cart.

We strongly recommend contacting your insurance company to confirm or add coverage for a Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV). If your insurance does not cover an at-fault accident, our insurance may provide coverage; however, the deductible starts at $5,000.

It is the renter’s responsibility to verify coverage. Proof of insurance is required at the time of pickup.

Q: Which roads can I drive on?

A: Our low-speed vehicles may be operated only on roads with speed limits of 25 MPH or less in:

• Avalon, New Jersey
• Stone Harbor, New Jersey
• Sea Isle City, New Jersey

Golf carts may not leave the island or be driven on roads with speed limits exceeding 25 MPH.

Q: Can I get a refund for bad weather?

A: No. Refunds are not issued due to poor or inclement weather.

Q: Do I need to charge the golf cart if I didn’t use it today?

A: Yes. Golf carts should be charged whenever they are not in use, including overnight. Like a cell phone, the battery slowly loses charge over time. Regular charging helps maximize battery life and ensures the cart is ready when needed.

Q: How long will a charge last?

Polaris GEM

• Estimated range: 20–30 miles per charge

Bintelli, Swift, and Denago Carts

• Estimated range: 15–20 miles per charge

All carts should be fully charged every night.

Q: Can I drive in the rain or during flooding?

A: Yes, golf carts can generally be driven in the rain. However, never drive through flooded streets or standing saltwater, as water can damage electrical components and create unsafe driving conditions.

Q: How fast do the golf carts go?

A: All of our street-legal golf carts have a top speed of 25 MPH.

Q: What is your cancellation policy?

A: We request at least one week’s notice for all cancellations. Cancellations made within 7 days of the scheduled rental date are subject to a $50 administrative fee.

Q: How can I make a reservation?

A:

• June 20th through Labor Day: Weekly rentals only
• Off-Season: Shorter rentals may be available; please call for availability and discounts

To reserve, call (609) 967-1400.

Q: How will I know how to operate the golf cart?

A: When you arrive, your golf cart will be clean, fully charged, and ready to go. An Avalon Golf Carts employee will provide a full orientation and answer any questions before you leave.

Q: Can I reserve a cart from Friday to Friday?

A: Please call our rental office to confirm availability. If a cart is returned early, we may be able to arrange Friday pickup, but availability cannot be guaranteed.

Q: Can I rent for only 1, 2, or 3 days?

A: During peak season, rentals are available on a weekly basis only. In the off-season, shorter rentals are permitted with a minimum three-night stay.
