Which type is right for you?
For most people, electric golf carts are the better choice: they cost less to run and maintain, run quietly, and produce zero fumes. Gas carts still make sense for very large properties, long daily distances, or steep terrain. On a Destin or Miramar Beach vacation, electric is a clear winner — our fleet is 100% electric, and rentals start at just $99/day.
Electric carts cost pennies per mile to charge. Gas carts need regular fill-ups and their fuel economy is measured in miles per gallon, not miles per kilowatt-hour — over a season of daily use, electric typically saves hundreds of dollars. Battery replacement is the big-ticket item on an electric cart, but it happens every few years, not every month.
Electric carts have far fewer moving parts: no engine, no oil changes, no air filters, no fuel system to winterize. Gas carts demand oil changes, filter swaps, and occasional carburetor attention. For owners who don't love wrenching, electric wins easily.
Modern electric carts cover 25–45 miles per charge — more than enough for a day of cruising Destin and Miramar Beach — and deliver instant torque for a responsive ride. Gas carts offer quick refueling and strong hill-climbing, which matters mainly on large or mountainous properties.
Electric carts are quiet enough to carry on a conversation at full speed, produce no exhaust, and are gentle on the environment — a real plus on the beach. Gas carts are louder and smell like fuel. On vacation, electric keeps the vibe relaxed and the air clean.
Our entire Destin and Miramar Beach rental fleet is brand new electric carts: 4-seat ($99/day), 6-seat Land Rover style ($149/day), and 8-seat ($199/day), all street legal and delivered to your door. Learn more in our Ultimate Golf Cart Rental Guide.
