Destin rules & regulations

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

Street-legal rules

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

Golf carts permitted on streets ≤ 35 mph.

The rules

  1. Public-road use is permitted on streets posted at or below 35 mph.
  2. Only Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs) with a plate, seat belts and DOT lighting may operate on public streets.
  3. Driver must be at least 16 years old and hold a valid state driver's license.
  4. Florida law lets plated, insured LSVs operate only on streets posted 35 mph or less, with a valid driver license; a city may prohibit LSVs on roads it controls. Standard golf carts are not LSVs.
  5. Every passenger must be in a designated seat with a functioning seat belt where required. No riding on laps, bumpers, or cargo beds.
  6. No riding under the influence. The same DUI rules that apply to cars apply to golf carts.
  7. Yield to pedestrians and bicycles. Use headlights and taillights whenever visibility is reduced.

Local tips

  • US-98 is off-limits — plan routes on Gulf Shore Drive and the neighborhood grid.
  • Book early for June and July; Destin is one of the tightest cart markets in Florida.

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.
