Anna Maria Island is a place people stay for a week. It’s the perfect length — long enough to slow down, short enough to keep every day feeling like vacation. And if you’re staying for a week, renting a golf cart by the day is like renting a car by the hour. It works, but it costs you a lot more than it should.
Our weekly golf cart rentals are Crabby Joe’s best-value option, priced to make sense for the full seven-day beach week that most Anna Maria Island vacationers come for. One booking, one delivery, one cart at your rental for the entire week — and rates that make it a no-brainer over daily bookings.
The math is simple. On Anna Maria Island, your golf cart is your car, your beach mule, your dinner shuttle, and your sunset transportation. You’re not going to use it once and put it away — you’re going to use it every single day. And once you’re using something that many times, paying by the day just doesn’t add up.
Weekly rentals give you:
You check into your rental somewhere between Anna Maria and Bradenton Beach. Our team drops off your cart the same day,
Load the cart with coolers and beach chairs. Cruise to Manatee Public Beach or Coquina Beach depending on your crew's vibe. Drive home for lunch. Come back for the afternoon. That's what a golf cart week is for.
Coffee at Ginny's & Jane E's. A morning drive up to the Anna Maria City Pier. Cross the Cortez Bridge to the Cortez Fishing Village for fresh seafood at lunch. Dinner on Bridge Street. All of it in your cart.
Rod & Reel Pier for a slow morning. Ice cream on Pine Avenue in the afternoon. Sunset ride down Gulf Drive with the whole crew.
The reason a week on Anna Maria Island works is that you settle into the rhythm. Your cart becomes part of that rhythm. It's parked outside every morning, ready when you are. No pickup hassle, no daily returns, no plan-your-day-around-the-cart. Just wake up, coffee, cart, beach.
Our team collects the cart at your rental. You head to the airport with a week's worth of sun, sand and memories. The cart's not on your mind — because we handle the whole pickup logistics.
Anna Maria Island is busiest during spring break (March), Easter week, summer (June–August) and the winter snowbird season (January–March). If you’re traveling during any of those peak windows, we strongly recommend booking your weekly cart four to six weeks ahead. Off-peak weeks give you more flexibility, but the best carts still book out — call as soon as your vacation rental is confirmed.
It varies by cart type and season, but weekly rates are consistently our best-value option — typically saving you significantly compared to seven separate daily rentals. Call us on 855-Crabby-Joes for a real-time weekly quote for your dates.
Yes, subject to availability. Just call us before your original rental period ends and we’ll do our best to extend the same cart for the extra days. Because we’re locally owned, we can usually make it work — but earlier is always better than later.
Call us and we’ll be there. As a local, family-run business we’re never more than a short drive from your rental. In the very rare case that a cart needs to be swapped, we’ll bring you a replacement quickly so you don’t lose a beach day.
Our carts arrive with a full charge or full tank. Weekly renters are responsible for keeping the cart charged (or fueled, for gas carts) during the week — most vacation rentals have easy outlets, and gas carts are just a stop at any island station.
Best-value rates, free delivery, 24/7 local support — everything a week on Anna Maria Island should be. Call 855-Crabby-Joes or reserve online.
