Renting a golf cart makes getting around easier for families—just be sure to plan ahead for delivery timing, HOA rules, and street parking limitations.

1. Local Rules You Must Know
Operating a golf cart in North Myrtle Beach (including Cherry Grove) is legal — but regulated. Use this section as your quick compliance guide so guests avoid fines and stay safe.
Where you can drive
Golf carts are only permitted on secondary roadways (posted 35 mph or less). You cannot travel along the main roads shown in red on the official city map (Ocean Blvd, 27th Ave S, Highway 17, Sea Mountain Hwy). You may cross those roads at intersections only.
Time & distance limits
Operation is sunrise to sunset only. Permitted carts may operate within 4 miles of the registration address (or 4 miles of a gated community ingress/egress) and only on secondary roads posted ≤ 35 mph. Crossing a >35 mph road is only allowed at an intersection.
Driver & documents
Drivers must be 16+ with a valid driver’s license. The operator must carry: registration certificate, proof of liability insurance, and driver’s license.
Safety & compliance
- Golf cart must display the South Carolina permit sticker.
- Seating capacity cannot be exceeded—everyone must have a seat.
- All state traffic laws apply (stop signs, signals, yielding).
- North Myrtle Beach PD enforces violations; fines typically start around $100+.
Quick checklist for renters:
- Valid driver’s license (16+)
- SC permit sticker displayed
- Proof of insurance in cart
- Stay on secondary roads (≤ 35 mph)
- Within 4 miles of registration address
- Sunrise to sunset only

5. Pro Tips for a Smooth Ride
- Charge nightly. Electric carts drain faster than guests expect—charge after heavy use.
- Secure cargo. Bring bungees or a small cooler strap for groceries / beach gear.
- Kids & seats. Don’t exceed seating; add boosters for smaller children.
- Eco mode. Use low-speed/eco mode to extend battery on longer loops.
- Delivery tip. Ask A-Jax to drop off at the driveway for the smoothest check-in.
