Rules & safety

Short version: drive it like a car, park it like a bike, keep it inside the resort. Here is the long version.

To rent a cart

21 to rent

The renter signing for the cart must be 21 or older with a valid driver's license and a payment card.

Licensed drivers only

Anyone behind the wheel needs a valid driver's license. No exceptions for teenagers, ever.

Everyone buckled

Seatbelts for every rider, kids included. Carts only carry as many people as there are belts.

Where you can drive

Our carts are for use inside Jamaica Beach RV Resort. They do not go on public streets, the highway or the beach, and we go over the boundaries again at pickup.

  • Resort grounds only. The cart stays inside Jamaica Beach RV Resort, on the resort roads and loops.
  • No public streets. The cart does not leave the property, and it never rides along FM 3005 / Termini-San Luis Pass Road.
  • No beaches. Carts stay off the sand and the dunes. Park at your site and walk over to the beach.
  • Roads only. Keep to the resort roads, not the sidewalks.
  • Daylight rules. Take it easy at dusk, use the lights, and remember the cart tops out at neighborhood speed by design.
We handle the upkeep. Every Salty Karts cart goes out inspected and equipped: lights, mirrors, horn, reflectors and seatbelts. You just drive.

While it is yours

Weather

Gulf storms move fast. If the sky turns, park it and wait it out. Rain is fine, standing water is not.

Charging

Overnight rentals get the charger. Plug in at your site each evening and the cart never thinks about range.

Parking

Off the road, out of the dune vegetation, not blocking a beach access. Driveways and marked spots are fair game.

Trouble

Flat, warning light, weird noise? Call (409) 632-0200 and we come to you. Do not wrench on it yourself.
