Common questions.

Yes. You must have a valid driver's license and be at least 21 years old to rent. All drivers must sign our rental agreement before pickup.

Yes. A valid driver's license from any country works. The license you already drive with at home is all you need, and it goes through the same quick ID check as a U.S. license.

Yes, but every driver has to be added and verified before they drive. Each additional driver must be at least 21, hold a valid driver's license, complete the same quick ID check you did (license photo and a selfie), and sign the rental agreement in their own name — so they'll each need their own email address. You can add drivers yourself from the rental link we text you after booking. Anyone who hasn't been added and verified is not an authorized driver, and letting them drive breaks the rental agreement and voids insurance coverage for any accident.

Book online at beachmoderentals.com. Pick your cart, dates, and delivery zone. The whole process takes under 2 minutes. You'll get instant confirmation.

We accept all major credit cards through our secure checkout. Your rental total and a refundable security deposit are charged at booking.

Free cancellation up to 10 days before your rental start time. After that, the rental fee is non-refundable.

We don't refund or reschedule for weather. The normal terms apply: cancel 10 or more days ahead for a full refund; inside 10 days the booking is non-refundable. The cart has a windshield and sliding side windows but no doors. If the weather turns, pull over and park somewhere safe until it passes.

Most of the year, one day is fine. Some peak weekends and holidays have a 2- or 3-day minimum. The booking page shows the minimum for your dates before you pay.

No. We rent by the calendar day, not in 24-hour blocks. Deliveries and pickups start at 9:30 AM, and the cart is due back by 8 PM on your last day or by 8:30 AM the next morning. Friday to Sunday is three days, and you keep the cart the whole time.

Usually, as long as the cart is free for the extra days. The quickest way is your booking page (the link in your confirmation text and email). It shows how many more days are available and prices them at the lower additional-day rate, and you pay and sign right there. You can also call or text (619) 431-3160 while you still have the cart. Please don't just keep it: a cart kept past its return time without an extension is a late return, which may be charged a flat $100 late fee.

Yes. Each cart seats six, so a group of 7 to 12 takes two carts, booked under your name as two bookings for the same dates. We run a small fleet, so book early.

We deliver directly to your hotel, Airbnb, or address in Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Mission Beach, La Jolla, for $40 covering delivery and pickup. Delivery to Campland on the Bay and Mission Bay RV Resort is free, and your cart waits just outside the gate, not at your campsite or RV site. See how pickup and delivery work below.

Pickup is curbside at the Taylor Branch Library in Pacific Beach. The exact spot and your lockbox code come in your pickup link on the day.

Campland on the Bay, Mission Bay RV Resort, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, Mission Beach and La Jolla. Contact us for locations outside these areas.

Yes. We deliver to most hotels, homes and rentals in Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, Ocean Beach and La Jolla for $40. Delivery is free to Campland on the Bay and Mission Bay RV Resort. Renting more than one day? You'll need a regular power outlet where the cart is parked overnight, because many hotels with garage-only parking don't have one. Check before you book.

Often, yes. "Carts Available Now" on our website lists carts that are charged and ready at our pickup spot. Book one there and you can be driving in minutes. For same-day delivery, call or text (619) 431-3160.

Standard delivery is after 9:30 AM, and pickup can be arranged as late as 8 PM. We coordinate the exact time based on your reservation and arrival/departure times from San Diego.

By 8 PM on your last rental day, or by 8:30 AM the next morning — whichever works better for you. Please have it fully charged with the charging cord left with the cart. Returns after that may be charged a flat $100 late fee, so if you're running behind, text us at (619) 431-3160 and we'll usually work with you.

The cart stays with you for your whole rental — there's no nightly drop-off. Keep it parked wherever you're staying and plug it in overnight so it's ready each morning. You only bring it back on your last day.

Yes! All our carts are fully registered and street legal in California. They can be driven on roads with speed limits up to 35 mph.

Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, surround sound system, USB charging at every seat and world-class customer service.

Our carts have a top speed of 25 mph, which is perfect and legal for San Diego beach neighborhoods with speed limits of 35 mph or less. We recommend driving 20 mph or less to enjoy the view.

About 25 to 30 miles, depending mostly on how many people are riding. Around the beaches that's further than it sounds: Pacific Beach to La Jolla Cove and back is roughly 10 to 12 miles.

The cart is fully electric and charges from any regular household outlet, no special equipment needed. Plug the charging cord into the cart, then into the outlet. The cord we include is 50 feet long, so it reaches from most driveways and parking spots. A full charge takes about 6 to 8 hours, so the simplest routine is to plug it in overnight. Please return the cart fully charged on the morning of drop-off, and leave the charging cord with the cart. A cart returned with a low or empty battery may be charged a flat $100 charging fee, and a lost or damaged cord is $100. If you can't charge it for any reason, text us first at (619) 431-3160.

California's child passenger safety laws apply in our carts exactly as they do in a car — the same standards you'd follow driving your own vehicle apply here. We don't provide car seats, so please bring your own.

A full charge typically takes between 6 and 8 hours. We recommend charging the cart overnight to ensure it's ready for use. If you are returning the cart in the morning, please ensure it has been fully charged prior to drop-off.

Yes! All carts are $160 for the first day and $130 for each additional day plus sales tax. If you plan on renting from us for multiple weeks then please reach out to see if we can provide an additional discount.

A $200 refundable security deposit is included in your checkout total. It's refunded automatically after you return the cart in good condition with no damage.

We pass on the actual ticket amount plus a $10 processing fee (other violations can carry a fee of up to $50). It comes out of your deposit, or off the card on file if it arrives after your deposit was returned. Citations can reach us weeks after a rental ends.
