An independent local rental company delivering street-legal gas golf carts to guests staying inside Amelia Island Plantation. Carts stay on Plantation grounds.
Delivered On Property
A cart waiting at the Plantation
Tidal Wave delivers 4- and 6-passenger street-legal gas golf carts to guests staying inside Omni Amelia Island Resort / Amelia Island Plantation. You reserve online, sign the waiver from your phone, and the cart is on property before you need it — no counter to visit, and nobody has to be there to take delivery.
Amelia Island Plantation is a large property. A cart is the difference between a long walk with beach chairs and a two-minute ride, and it is the reason most guests who rent one here end up wishing they had booked it for the whole stay rather than the last two days.
Tidal Wave Golf Cart Rentals is an independent, locally owned company based in Fernandina Beach. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or the official rental provider of Omni. You rent directly from us.

Why Gas?
Gas carts, and why that matters on vacation
Inside a resort, charging is somebody else's outlet — and finding one you are allowed to use is not a holiday activity. Our carts run on gas, so there is nothing to arrange with the front desk and nothing to plug in when you park for the night.
No Charging Required
You don’t need to find an exterior outlet at your hotel or vacation rental. Our carts run on gas, so there is simply nothing to plug in.
More Time Exploring
Enjoy your stay without planning around plugging the cart in. Park it when you’re finished and use it again whenever you’re ready to go.
Easy For Vacation Stays
A simple option whether you’re staying in a hotel, resort, condo or vacation home — with no charging access to arrange with anyone.
Good To Know Before You Book
Carts for Plantation stays stay on Plantation grounds
If we deliver your cart inside Amelia Island Plantation, it stays within Plantation grounds for the length of the rental. We would rather you know that on this page than at the moment of delivery.
In practice it is what the cart is for. The resort is spread over a large property, and almost everything a guest wants to reach during the day is on it.
Want a cart for driving the wider island instead — downtown Fernandina Beach, the shops on Centre Street, the beach parks along the coast? Book one for a stay off the Plantation and it is not limited that way.

Around The Plantation
What a cart is actually good for on a resort this size
Villa To Front Door
Amelia Island Plantation is spread out. A cart turns the trip between where you’re staying and the rest of the property into a short ride.
Beach Days, Loaded Up
Chairs, towels, coolers and a cart full of people all move in one trip instead of several.
Dinner Without The Drive
Getting to dining on property is easier when nobody has to move a car or find a space.
Nothing To Plug In
Our carts are gas, so there’s no outlet to locate and no charging to arrange with the resort.

FAQs
Omni and Plantation rental questions
Yes. Tidal Wave delivers 4- and 6-passenger street-legal gas golf carts to guests staying inside Omni Amelia Island Resort / Amelia Island Plantation. You book online, sign the waiver from your phone, and the cart is delivered on property before you need it. We are an independent local golf cart rental company and are not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by Omni.
No — carts delivered to guests staying inside Amelia Island Plantation must remain within Plantation grounds for the length of the rental. In practice that’s where you’ll want it anyway: the property is large, and the point of the cart is turning the distance between where you’re staying, the beach and everything else on property into a two-minute ride. If you want a cart for driving the wider island, book one for a stay at a hotel or vacation rental off the Plantation — see our hotels and resorts page.
No. Tidal Wave Golf Cart Rentals is an independent, locally owned rental company based in Fernandina Beach that delivers to guests staying at Amelia Island Plantation. We are not the resort’s official or exclusive rental provider, and we are not endorsed by or affiliated with Omni. You rent directly from us, and we handle delivery, the waiver and pickup.
No. Our carts are gas-powered, so there’s no outlet to locate on property and no charging to arrange with the resort. Carts arrive with a full tank and you do not need to refuel before returning. Park it when you’re done for the day and use it again when you head back out.
We deliver on property, on or before 4:00 PM on your delivery day, and collect it by 11:00 AM on your departure day. You do not need to be present for delivery or pickup. Because access and parking inside a resort vary, tell us where you’re staying when you book and we’ll confirm the exact spot with you in advance — or call (904) 298-7236 if you’d rather sort it out first.
Book by headcount. Everyone riding needs a seat and a seatbelt while the cart is moving, and a cart may never carry more people than its stated capacity. A 4-passenger cart works for couples and small families; a 6-passenger cart suits larger groups or anyone hauling beach gear for the day. Both are the same street-legal E-Z-GO gas carts — compare them on our Book Online page.
Drivers must be at least 25 with a valid driver’s license and proof of auto insurance. Everything is handled online before your trip: drivers complete the driver waiver and upload their license and insurance, everyone else signs the rider waiver, and a parent or legal guardian completes the minor section for any children riding. Our FAQs cover deposits, cancellations and the rest.
