A late-afternoon light spills across Coast Highway as an electric LSV eases out from under the Sun Diego Surf shop, soft whirr replacing engine roar. The cart glides past palm trunks and clapboard storefronts, the Pacific daring you to stop at every overlook. In an LSV, the coast feels closer—streets shrink, discoveries lengthen, and the city’s rhythm slows to a people-paced roll.

Bring a valid driver’s license and card
Drivers must present a major credit card, driver’s license and proof of insurance at pickup; have originals ready to speed check-in.
Plan routes around charging/return time
Map your stops and allow buffer time for battery range — treat rentals like short road trips, not all-day jaunts if battery info is limited.
Watch pedestrians and bike lanes
LSVs share low-speed roads and sidewalks in some areas; yield to pedestrians, give cyclists space, and obey posted speed limits.

The open-air ride is fun but makes gear vulnerable; use a lockable compartment or take valuables with you when you leave the cart.
