go ahead ... get on the road

GOJOE Rentals is excited to bring new low speed vehilces (LSVs) to St. Joe and southwestern Michigan.  

​A fun way to get around town, to & from the beach, and more.  Our LSVs are much more than an ordinary golf cart; they are compliant with state regulations for street legal operation and equipped and configured with many safety related components & certified to operation on public roads up to 35 mph speed limit with a maximum speed of 15 or 25 mph.

maps

Our LSV's can be used on roads up to 35 mph around town. You are not allowed to operate on roads with a 40 mph speed limit or higher, except to cross those roads.  Our regular golf carts can be operated on private property (non public roads) or on roads where the local municipality has approved them.

See our road maps below. Roads off limits to LSV's are shown in black where 40mph signs start.

NOTE: LSV'S are not currently permitted on the Blossomland, Bi-Centennial or Napier bridges due to 40MPH speed limits :-( Hoping to get that changed and we could use your help.
