Anna Maria Island moves at 35 miles per hour, and nothing matches that pace like a golf cart rolling down Gulf Drive with the doors already off. Visitors who land in Holmes Beach with a rental car often spend day one hunting for parking near packed beach accesses and narrow residential streets built for something slower.
One island outfit keeps topping local review boards for that exact reason. Established in 2007, Fun & More Rentals built its name on maintained fleets, direct delivery, and honest pricing. Travelers comparing Holmes Beach golf cart rentals usually land on this shop, for five clear reasons.
Fun & More Rentals has been operating since 2007, long before some of the present-day rental stores on Anna Maria Island even existed. These details come out in various ways: employees who know which side roads flood during a storm, maintenance of the golf carts during rentals instead of once a season, and a Google rating that consistently stays at 4.7 stars across 400-plus reviews. New shops can copy a website. They can't copy two decades of repeat guests.
Most competitors rent a single category of gear. This store has golf carts, bicycles, beach chairs, kayaks, paddleboards, and baby gear for rent all in one booking. The family that doesn’t have a car will have everything to make their week of transportation and beach days easy in just one transaction. One delivery window, one pickup, one point of contact if a cart needs attention mid-week.
Every golf cart gets dropped at the vacation rental, condo, or hotel before check-in and picked up after checkout, at no added charge. For a destination where the average visiting party stays nearly six days, that timing matters. Research from the Bradenton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, reported by the Anna Maria Islander, put June's average stay at 5.9 days with an average party of 2.9 people. Guests land, reach the property, and the cart is already parked out front.
Florida laws only require a driver’s license to drive golf carts, without setting an age limit for such drivers. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, no minimum age limit is set for operating a golf cart in the state of Florida. The dealer demands that customers be 25 years old before purchasing golf carts from them, while Florida state law does not demand anything like this. Proof of insurance and seatbelts are required by the dealer for every seat in the cart.
Rental round-ups covering the island, including one from CartFinder, only list shops holding a Google rating of 4.5 stars or higher — a bar this business clears with room to spare.
Anna Maria Island's broader tourism numbers explain why that combination matters. Manatee County drew an estimated 114,500 visitors in a single peak month, per the same bureau data, with vacation-rental occupancy above 67%. A crowded island rewards operators who get families off the road and into a cart with minimal friction — a reputation that compounds over seasons, not one good review week.
What is the minimum age requirement for renting golf carts from Holmes Beach?
Age limits depend on individual companies. For this business, a customer needs to be 25 years old, and he/she must present both his/her driver's license and car insurance before renting.
Do I need to have a license and insurance to operate golf carts on Holmes Beach Road?
Yes, you do. All golf carts operated on public streets are subject to the requirements of Florida licensing, and this company also needs to verify that you have insurance while renting a cart.
Are there any additional fees for delivering golf carts to my place?
No, the service of delivering and returning a golf cart to our shop is free. Our company drops you off at your vacation property.
Can I select the size or color of my cart?
Four- or six-seat options are common choices, and your selection can usually be honored based on the availability in the rental fleet at the time of reservation.
Holmes Beach does not require a car to have fun; it requires a vehicle that suits its own rhythm. A clean and functional golf cart from Fun & More Rentals transforms a journey that takes five minutes into one that takes only two, eliminating the concern of "Where do we park?" from the equation entirely. This is what the service provides you: less hassle and more opportunity to enjoy the sand while still wearing it. Make your reservation early, and the cart will take care of the rest.
