Isle of Palms

Known for its nesting sea turtles and rich history, the Isle of Palms is a peaceful place to vacation, fish, and explore South Carolina’s Lowcountry. See the island like never before with Low Speed Vehicle and golf cart rentals so you can see for yourself what’s so special about this corner of the Atlantic on your next vacation.

Isle of Palms has tons of activities for your family to enjoy—and getting around will be a breeze with one of our LSVs DAY OR NIGHT unlike a normal golf cart rental!

Cancellation Policy: 

This is a non-refundable reservation but you have options. You may cancel at any time, for any reason and receive a future rental credit that does not expire without any additional expenses.

When you are making the reservation you will have an option to buy a $30 covid coverage plan with Lightning Bugz. This plan allows you to cancel up to 5 days prior to your arrival and receive a full refund of the rental rate. The ticket service fee from the reservation system is not refundable. This coverage is only applicable if someone you’re traveling with has a positive test result and you are canceling your entire trip. Proof of positive test results as well as proof of trip cancellation will be required to be emailed to rentals@lightningbugzlsv.com
