Margate rules & regulations

Every renter must review these before booking. You'll be asked to acknowledge them at checkout.

Street-legal rules

Margate — what you can and can't do on a cart

Golf carts permitted on streets ≤ 25 mph.

The rules

Public-road use is permitted on streets posted at or below 25 mph.
Only Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs) with a plate, seat belts and DOT lighting may operate on public streets.
Driver must be at least 17 years old and hold a valid state driver's license.
New Jersey law allows titled, registered and insured low-speed vehicles (LSVs) on roads posted 25 mph or less (35 mph only where a town or county allows it), with a valid driver's license. Towns may ban LSVs entirely.
Every passenger must be in a designated seat with a functioning seat belt where required. No riding on laps, bumpers, or cargo beds.
No riding under the influence. The same DUI rules that apply to cars apply to golf carts.
Yield to pedestrians and bicycles. Use headlights and taillights whenever visibility is reduced.

Local tips

Only registered, insured low-speed vehicles may use public roads — confirm allowed streets with your host before riding.
Plan to stay on Absecon Island (Margate, Longport, Ventnor and Atlantic City): the bridges off it carry faster traffic than low-speed vehicles may use.
Give your host your rental address at checkout so the cart is dropped where you are staying.

Summaries of publicly posted municipal ordinances. Guidance only — you are responsible for following current local law. Verify with the town office before riding on public roads.
