Local tips

  • Only registered, insured low-speed vehicles may use public roads — confirm allowed streets with your host before riding.
  • Plan to ride on the island: the bridges off Ocean City 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.
