There’s just something about island life that invites you to slow down, soak in the sunshine, and enjoy the ride — and there’s no better way to do it than behind the wheel of a street-legal golf cart from Island EV Rentals.
Whether you're winding along the coast, grabbing shaved ice in Lahaina, or beach hopping through Kihei, driving a street-legal golf cart adds an extra dose of fun, freedom, and fresh air to your Maui adventure.
Street-Legal, Island-Ready
Yes, it’s legal — and it's a total vibe. Island EV Rentals offers licensed and registered Low Speed Vehicles (LSVs) that are fully compliant with Hawaii state law. That means you can legally drive them on any public road with a posted speed limit of 35mph or less, which just so happens to include some of Maui’s most scenic coastal stretches and beloved beach towns.
With seat belts, turn signals, headlights, mirrors, and license plates, these aren’t your typical golf carts — they’re stylish, electric cruisers built for comfort and adventure. Whether you’re heading out to brunch, beach hopping for the day, or just catching sunset vibes, these carts turn heads and make every outing more memorable.
The Ultimate Open-Air Island Experience
Imagine this: ocean breeze on your face, sun on your skin, and unobstructed views in every direction. In a golf cart, you’re not just driving — you’re immersed. With the top down and music playing, you feel the pulse of the island in every turn.
Parking? A breeze. Traffic? Less stress, more smiles. And best of all, these carts are 100% electric, so you can cruise with confidence knowing you’re exploring Maui sustainably.
Perfect for Couples, Families, and Groups
With 4- and 6-passenger models available, our street-legal carts are ideal for all kinds of travelers. Planning a romantic getaway? Nothing says "island romance" like a sunset cruise in a convertible EV cart. Traveling with the crew? Everyone rides together — and everyone has fun.
Island EV Rentals even offers convenient delivery and pickup to your hotel, Airbnb, or vacation rental, so all you need to do is hop in and roll out.
Where Can You Go in a Street-Legal Golf Cart on Maui?
With a street-legal golf cart from Island EV Rentals, your Maui journey becomes as much about the ride as the destination. These Low Speed Vehicles (LSVs) are fully legal to operate on any public road with a speed limit of 35mph or less — and that includes some of the most iconic and scenic areas on the island.
Here are some of the best coastal spots to explore in your street-legal golf cart:
Kihei: The Laid-Back South Shore
Kihei is a beach lover’s paradise — and the perfect place to enjoy the freedom of a golf cart.
Cruiseable Stops:
- Kalama Beach Park
- The Cove (perfect for surf lessons)
- Kihei Kalama Village (food trucks, shops, bars)
- Kamaole Beach Parks I, II, & III
Suggested Route: Start near South Kihei Road and cruise between Kamaole I and Kalama Park. There's no better way to beach-hop than with the breeze in your hair and parking that’s a breeze.
Kāʻanapali: Resort Coastline with Big Views
One of Maui’s most famous resort destinations, Kāʻanapali is tailor-made for golf cart exploration — especially within the resort zones and beach access roads.
Cruiseable Stops:
- Whalers Village (shopping + beachfront dining)
- Kāʻanapali Beachwalk (pedestrian path with epic views)
- Hanakaʻōʻō Beach Park (a.k.a. Canoe Beach)
Suggested Route: Stick to the resort access roads and lower Honoapiʻilani Road to get around safely, all while enjoying views of the West Maui Mountains and neighbor islands across the channel.
Wailea: Luxury Meets Open-Air Leisure
Known for upscale resorts and manicured beachfront paths, Wailea offers smooth, quiet roads and stunning scenery, perfect for electric cruising.
Cruiseable Stops:
- Shops at Wailea
- Wailea Beach, Ulua Beach & Polo Beach
- Wailea Blue and Gold Golf Courses
Suggested Route: Use Wailea Alanui Drive and the resort connector roads — slow-paced, golf-cart-friendly, and surrounded by luxury landscapes and ocean views.
Mākena: Raw Beauty at the Edge of the Road
Just beyond Wailea, Mākena feels wild, wide open, and untouched. While you’ll need to keep an eye on the posted speed limits, much of Mākena’s access roads fall within LSV-legal zones.
Cruiseable Stops:
- Mākena Landing
- Big Beach (Oneloa)
- Mākena State Park
Suggested Route: Cruise down Mākena Road, especially near the landing and north entrance to Big Beach — a surreal experience in the early morning or at golden hour.
Pro Tip: Use Google Maps with the “Avoid Highways” Filter
If you’re planning your route, use Google Maps and toggle on “avoid highways” to see all the scenic, golf cart–legal options Maui has to offer.
Island Life, Redefined
From sunrises in Kihei to sunsets in Mākena, a street-legal golf cart makes getting there half the fun. Whether you're cruising with your partner or your whole ʻohana, this is the kind of ride that becomes the highlwaiting.
