So, you’ve decided to rent a golf cart for your Isle of Palms vacation—great choice! But now comes the next question: which golf cart is right for your trip?

At Just Beachy Carts, we know that every vacation is different. Some guests are looking for luxury features. Others want something affordable and functional. Whether you’re visiting with kids, friends, or just your significant other, choosing the right golf cart can take your island experience to the next level.

We offer four main models:

• BeachyPremier 6 Pass

• BeachyFun 6 Pass

• BeachyPremier 4 Pass

• BeachyFun 4 Pass

Let’s break down each option so you can book the cart that best matches your vibe, group size, and travel needs.

Understanding Our Fleet

All of our carts are:

• Street-legal LSVs

• Fully registered, insured, and safety checked

• Delivered directly to your rental

• Ready for use on any IOP road 35 mph or under

But there are two major variables to consider:

1. Seating Capacity (4 or 6 passengers)

2. Experience Level (Premier vs Fun)

Let’s explore the difference between the Fun and Premier models first.

BeachyFun Carts: The Laid-Back Option

Our BeachyFun carts are designed for guests who want convenience, simplicity, and savings. These carts still come equipped with the essentials:

• Comfortable bench seating

• Safety belts and lights

• Windshield and mirrors

• Basic storage space

• Quiet electric operation

These carts are perfect for:

• Smaller budgets

• Shorter stays (3–4 days)

• Casual cruisers

• Beach-goers who don’t need tech extras

Think of it as your island shuttle—easy to drive, fun to ride, and efficient to charge.

BeachyPremier Carts: Elevated Comfort & Style

Want to ride in style? Our BeachyPremier models offer upgraded features for guests who prioritize luxury and convenience:

• Premium seating (extra cushioning + modern design)

• Bluetooth sound system

• Enhanced LED lighting

• Extended storage for beach gear

• Sleek finishes for photo-ready moments

These carts are great for:

• Families with young kids (more space, better seats)

• Couples who want added comfort

• Weddings and special events

• Long stays or large Airbnb groups

• Travelers used to a high-end experience

Whether you’re pulling up to dinner or exploring IOP at night, the Premier line makes the journey part of the fun.

4-Passenger vs 6-Passenger: Who Needs What?

Another important factor is group size. Here’s how to think about it:

4-Passenger Carts

• Best for couples, solo travelers, or families of 3–4

• Easier to park in tight driveways or lots

• Great for guests staying in smaller rental homes

6-Passenger Carts

• Perfect for families with kids + grandparents

• Ideal for friend groups or larger rentals

• Extra space for coolers, chairs, umbrellas, and bags

• Also useful for wedding parties and group excursions

Pro tip: Even if you’re a group of 4, the extra space in a 6-passenger Premier cart can be a big plus if you’re hauling a lot of beach gear daily.

Still Not Sure? Ask Yourself These Questions

Choosing the right cart doesn’t have to be hard. Ask yourself:

• How many people will ride at once?

• Will you be carrying a lot of beach gear or groceries?

• Do you want a more basic ride or something Instagram-worthy?

• Do you plan to drive mostly short distances, or use it throughout the day?

• Are you okay without Bluetooth, or is music a must-have?

If you’re still unsure, our team is happy to walk you through your options and match you with the right fit based on your itinerary.

Customer Use Cases

Here’s what past guests had to say about their choices:

“We went with the BeachyFun 4 Pass and it was perfect. We just needed something easy to get to the beach and back with our two kids. Super clean and easy to drive.” – Amy S.

“We booked the Premier 6 Pass for our friend group trip and it was so worth it. The Bluetooth speakers were a hit every day on the way to the beach.” – Tyler J.

“It was our anniversary trip, and we wanted something a little nicer. The Premier 4 Pass was basically a mini convertible golf cart. So fun.” – Lindsey T.

Why It Pays to Choose the Right Cart

Renting a golf cart on IOP is about more than just transportation—it’s part of your experience.

Choosing the right one means:

• You’ll stay comfortable during longer rides

• You’ll have enough room for your entire party

• You’ll avoid having to call or switch rentals mid-week

• You’ll get the right features for your lifestyle (music, lighting, space)

At Just Beachy, we take the time to make sure your cart feels like a perfect fit.

Still Deciding? Here’s Our Recommendation
