Up to 12 people • All ages
Daufuskie Life operates on Daufuskie Island, South Carolina, offering vehicle rentals and shuttle transportation tailored to visitors and vacation renters. The company provides premium nightly electric golf carts — including a six-passenger 48-volt “limo” and a four-passenger 48-volt model — each equipped with seat belts, anti-lock brakes, LED headlights, and ample weight capacity. Daufuskie Life also offers a daily EZ-GO four-passenger gas golf cart rental with fuel included and lights, picked up at the County Dock.
For island arrivals and departures, Daufuskie Life runs dedicated shuttle transfers between Melrose Landing or the County Dock and private rental units, accommodating passengers, luggage, and pets in SUVs and buses. Delivery and pickup are available for nightly cart rentals at the rental address; the daily gas cart is picked up and returned at the County Dock. Drivers for certain electric rentals must be 21 or older and hold a valid driver’s license. The service focuses on practical, island-specific logistics—short-distance transfers, luggage-handling, and vehicle features suited for low-speed island roads. Pricing, availability, and reservation details are provided at booking; terms reflect vehicle type and pickup location.
By concentrating operations exclusively on Daufuskie Island, Daufuskie Life aligns vehicles and shuttle schedules with local dock arrivals and vacation rental patterns, simplifying guest transportation. The business lists clear pickup points and vehicle specifications and communicates requirements for drivers. This focused approach enables visitors to plan island exploration and point-to-point transfers with clarity and predictable logistics. Reservations and questions are handled through Daufuskie Life booking channels online directly.
