How Can I Book a Cart?
Booking a golf cart is as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4. Send us an email. Confirm your rental dates, times, place, etc. Upon confirmation of those important information you agree to the price quoted and we’ll send you a secure link to make payment right from our website.
-

Most definitely safe. Our website is secure to ensure a safe environment to do business with our clients/customers.
-

Your booking is confirmed only after making deposit or full payment. Upon making payment you’ll receive an email with your payment receipt and confirmation.
-

Every step of booking a Golf Cart with Thrifty Dollar can be completed via our website. Our response time is superb and quick. There’s no need to leave our website to book your cart today.
-
What documents do I need to bring to get behind the wheel?
Just bring your standard, valid driver's license from home and a major credit card. There is no need for a special international permit—your local license works perfectly here. Just remember to keep your physical license on you whenever you are driving around the island.
-
Can my teenager drive the cart if they have a license?
Anyone operating our carts must be at least 18 years old. As long as they meet that age requirement and are listed on your rental agreement, they are good to go.
-
Where do we meet you to get our keys?
We make it completely seamless. Tell us when and where you land—whether it’s the San Pedro airstrip (Maya Air or Tropic Air) or the water taxi dock (San Pedro Belize Express or Sprinter) —and we will be right there waiting for you. If you prefer, we can also drop the cart off directly at your resort, Airbnb, or rental villa within San Pedro Town at no extra charge.
-
How do I navigate traffic and parking in town?
Downtown San Pedro relies heavily on one-way streets, so keep an eye on traffic flow. When parking, watch out for curbs painted red—those are strict no-parking zones. Also, give the corners plenty of space; parking right next to an intersection blocks the view for others and can net you a local traffic ticket.
-
Is it safe to take the cart all the way out to Secret Beach?
Yes, our carts are built for it! The journey out west is a classic island road trip. Just keep in mind that the road gets quite bumpy and unpaved once you turn off the main highway. Take it slow over the potholes, keep an eye out for other travellers, and you'll have a great drive.
-
Are your carts powered by gas or electricity?
We use an all-gas fleet. Electric carts simply can't hold enough juice for long island exploring. With a gas engine, you don't have to cut your day short or worry about finding a charging outlet while you are out exploring the northern beaches.
-
What are the expectations for gas usage?
All of our golf carts are delivered to you clean and with a full tank of gas. We ask that you return the cart with the same amount of fuel it had when you received it.
Our gas-powered carts are highly fuel-efficient—a full tank typically lasts for about 120 to 150 miles of driving, which is more than enough for several days of exploring San Pedro, Secret Beach, and Ambergris Caye without needing a refill.
If you do need to top off during your trip, there are several convenient gas stations located right here in town. If the cart is returned with less than a full tank, a refueling fee will be applied to cover the difference:- ¼ Tank Low: $10 USD
- ½ Tank Low: $20 USD
- ¾ Tank Low: $30 USD
- Empty Tank: $40 USD
-
How do I make sure the cart doesn't get stolen?
Crime is low, but prevention is easy. We provide a heavy-duty steering wheel lock with every rental. Whenever you step away from the cart—even if it's just for a few minutes to grab a quick bite—take the keys with you and secure the locking bar in place. Please avoid leaving bags, cameras, or phones visible on the seats.
-
What should I do if a tire goes flat or the engine won't start?
Don't panic. Mechanical hiccups happen, but we are always on standby. Every rental includes free, around-the-clock roadside help. Just find a safe spot to park, send us a quick text or WhatsApp message, and our local team will head your way immediately to fix the issue or swap your cart out for a new one.
-
Who pays if the golf cart gets damaged?
While our rental rates include basic third-party liability to cover injuries or damage to others, any physical damage to the cart itself during your trip is the responsibility of the renter. We always recommend doing a quick walk-around with our team at pickup to note the cart's condition.
-
What exactly is covered in the daily rental rate?
Your rental rate covers the clean, fully inspected, gas-powered vehicle for the exact duration of your booking, along with our premium guest services. This includes complimentary delivery and pickup anywhere in the main San Pedro area (including the airstrip, water taxi docks, or your hotel), a heavy-duty security lock for peace of mind while exploring, and full access to our 24/7 on-island roadside assistance team as well free wash.
-

Securing your vehicle is a safe, straightforward, and fully secure three-step process:
- Submit Your Request: Complete our quick online reservation form with your preferred travel dates, pickup location, and your choice of a 4-seater or 6-seater vehicle.

-
What types of vehicles do you offer, and how many people can they carry?
We manage a versatile, modern fleet featuring both standard 4-seater and spacious 6-seater models. Whether you are traveling as a couple, a family, or a larger group, we have the right size to ensure everyone rides comfortably. To guarantee the safety and comfort of your party, we kindly ask that you select the seating capacity that accommodates your entire group, as local regulations strictly limit passengers to the designated seating capacity.
-
Is it safe to submit my information and pay through your website?
Absolutely. Your security and privacy are our top priorities. Our online reservation system and payment gateways utilize industry-standard, fully encrypted SSL technology. This ensures that your personal details and payment information are completely protected and secure from the moment you submit your request to the final transaction. You can book your island transportation with complete peace of mind.
