Golf carts are the primary mode of transportation on Ambergris Caye. This guide covers pricing, licensing, where to drive, and tips for getting the most out of your rental.
Why a golf cart?
Most streets in San Pedro are narrow and made of sand or stone. Cars are impractical and slow — golf carts are faster, easier to park, and let you enjoy the breeze. Locals and visitors alike use them daily.
Pricing on Ambergris Caye
4-seater carts typically run $35–$45/day; 6-seater carts $60–$75/day. Weekly rates are the best value. At VIP, our 4-seater is $35/day or $210/week, and the 6-seater is $65/day or $390/week — with free island-wide delivery.
Where to pick up your cart
The most convenient option is to reserve before you fly and have the cart waiting at John Greif II Airport (SPR). We're 100 ft away. We also deliver free to any hotel, resort, or water-taxi dock on the island.
Driver's license and age
You need a valid driver's license from your home country and must be 18+. No special Belizean permit is required for short-term tourist rentals.
Driving tips
Drive on the right. Top speed is around 25 mph. Watch for pedestrians, kids, and dogs. Most carts don't have doors — bring sunscreen and a hat.
