Keep your cart running all season with this simple checklist
Keep your golf cart running with four habits: charge the battery after every use, check tire pressure monthly (18–22 psi), wash off salt and sand weekly, and store it dry with a charged battery. Electric carts need minimal maintenance — no oil changes, no gas — so these simple steps cover most of what a cart owner needs to do. If you're visiting Destin, skip the maintenance entirely: every cart we rent is brand new and serviced before delivery.
Your battery is the heart of an electric cart. Charge after every use — even short trips — and avoid letting it sit below 50% charge for long periods. Plug in overnight with the charger that came with your cart, and never leave it plugged in for weeks at a time without checking it.
Most golf cart tires run 18–22 psi — check the sidewall for the exact recommendation. Under-inflated tires drain battery faster and wear unevenly. Check monthly, and look for cracks or bald spots, especially on carts that sit in the Florida sun.
Coastal air is tough on carts. Rinse off salt and sand after beach trips, wipe down seats and dashboards, and use a UV protectant on vinyl seats. Keep the battery compartment dry and free of debris.
If you store a cart for the season: clean it, inflate tires to the top of the recommended range, store in a dry covered space, and keep the battery at 50–100% charge with a maintenance charger. In spring, check tire pressure, brakes, and battery water levels before your first ride.
