Cartwheel Rentals are street-legal, gas golf carts that are designated under Florida law as low speed vehicles (LSVs). These LSVs are permitted to drive on any street where the posted speed limit is 35 mph or less. All the roads on Sanibel and Captiva Islands are 35 mph or less.

In Florida, a street-legal golf cart is a golf cart that’s equipped with seat belts, turn signals, mirrors, and other safety features. All our Carts include these mandatory features and are titled and registered in the State of Florida. For more information, see the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Guide to Owning Low Speed Vehicles. https://www.flhsmv.gov/pdf/mv/lowspeedvehicles.pdf
