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.
