Rent a golf cart to get around Ocracoke village without hauling a car over on the ferry
Ocracoke Island Golf Carts operates out of a spot along the Irvin Garrish Highway in Ocracoke village, renting carts to visitors who got off the ferry without a car of their own — which, on an island with no bridge or road connection to the mainland, describes most people who show up. A golf cart is the practical way to get around Ocracoke village itself: looping the narrow lanes near Silver Lake Harbor, the docks, and the shops and restaurants clustered around the anchorage, without hauling a vehicle over on the ferry or hunting for a parking spot.
The shop keeps long daily hours, open 8am to 7:30pm every day of the week, which covers early ferry arrivals looking to get settled in and evening trips out for dinner or a look at the harbor at sunset. For an island this size, with the village, the harbor, and the docks all within a short ride of each other, a rented cart covers most of what a visitor without a car needs for a few days on Ocracoke.

Great experience with this company time and time again. Their new location further down the highway is much more accessible. We had our cart inadvertently taken and it was replaced in less than 2 minutes. Will definitely always continue using this closing for cart rentals every year

We've been visiting Ocracoke Island for the past 6 summers and have always been pleased with Ocracoke Island Golf Carts. They are super responsive; this summer we had a bit of a flat tire which they fixed right away. The price is reasonable and we like the option of being able to rent for 10 days since we usually extend our week on the island.

We LOVE Ocracoke Island Golf Carts and use them regularly. Not only do we recommend them to our Airbnb guests on the island, but we use them when we are there as well. If you're ordering in advance, their online systems is VERY easy to use, or you can order in person. When we (or our guests) pre-order they are always on time to deliver AND plug the golf cart in one of our outlets. We find the golf carts reliable and easy to use. You can't go wrong with Ocracoke Island Golf Carts !!

I've been renting from them for over 5 years. The staff members are extremely friendly and willing to help. They always have our golf carts ready to go when I arrive on the island. I highly recommend them. Update for 2026: They moved their location next to the firehouse. I reserved the golf cart online prior to my arrival on the island, and it was waiting at my rental house. Ryan was very nice and offered to assist if I had any issues. The golf cart I received was clean and ran smoothly. I would definitely rent from them again.
