Pricing is per-vehicle, not per-person — so a 6-passenger LSV at $149/hour works out to about $25/hour per person. Cheaper than 6 Ubers, more fun than a car rental, and way better stories at the end of the day.

Where Can I Drive an LSV in Newport?

Open Air Luxury LSVs are street-legal on every road in Newport, Middletown, and Portsmouth — the entire island of Aquidneck. Because every road in Newport has a posted speed limit of 25 mph and LSVs are legal on any road with a posted limit of 35 mph or less, our LSVs can access nearly every neighborhood, beach, mansion, restaurant district, and waterfront on the island. The only restriction: LSVs cannot cross the Pell Bridge or leave Aquidneck Island. Below is a guide to the most popular driving destinations.

Ocean Drive & Southern Coast

Newport's iconic 10-mile Ocean Drive loop is the #1 LSV destination — and it's exactly what these vehicles were built for. Cruise the coastline at 25 mph with the wind in your hair, pull over at every scenic overlook, and skip the rental-car parking hassle entirely.


  • Brenton Point State Park (sunset spot, kite-flying, ocean views)
  • Castle Hill Inn & Lighthouse (lawn lunch, sunset cocktails)
  • Hammersmith Farm (Jackie Kennedy's "Summer White House")
  • Fort Adams State Park (Newport Jazz & Folk Festival venue)
  • Gooseberry Beach (small, sheltered, family-friendly)
  • Bailey's Beach (members-only, but the drive past is iconic)
  • Ridge Road, Harrison Avenue, Ocean Avenue (the full Ocean Drive loop)

The Mansions & Bellevue Avenue

Bellevue Avenue is Newport's "Gilded Age corridor" — a single tree-lined street where the Vanderbilts, Astors, and Berwinds built America's most extravagant summer cottages. LSVs are legal on the entire stretch, which means you can park directly at each mansion instead of fighting for street parking.


  • The Breakers (Vanderbilt's 70-room Italian Renaissance palace)
  • Marble House (Vanderbilt's gold-and-marble ballroom estate)
  • The Elms (French-style summer cottage)
  • Rosecliff (the Great Gatsby filming location)
  • Chateau-sur-Mer (Newport's first grand mansion)
  • Kingscote (Gothic Revival original)
  • Rough Point (Doris Duke's mansion, now a museum)
  • The Tennis Hall of Fame

Downtown Newport, the Waterfront & Restaurants

Downtown Newport is where parking goes to die in summer. The narrow colonial streets, one-way grid, and zero garage capacity mean a rental car is a liability after 5pm. LSVs slip into compact spots, valet at restaurants, and zip between dinner and drinks without you ever touching a parking meter.


  • Thames Street (Newport's main restaurant + bar corridor)
  • Bowen's Wharf (waterfront shops, raw bar, the historic harbor view)
  • Bannister's Wharf (The Black Pearl, Clarke Cooke House)
  • America's Cup Avenue (waterfront promenade, Newport Harbor)
  • The Newport Cliff Walk (3.5-mile public coastal path - park at either end)
  • Washington Square & the Colony House (colonial-era Newport)
  • Spring Street, Memorial Boulevard, Broadway (downtown grid)
  • Easton's Beach / First Beach (downtown's closest beach)

With an Open Air Luxury LSV, you can hit every destination on this page in a single day — without searching for parking, paying for gas, or coordinating Ubers. Newport was made for this kind of slow, scenic exploration. Pick the LSV size that matches your group, book online, and we'll have it ready when you arrive at 24 Waites Wharf.

Questions about your Open Air Luxury LSV rental?

Is an Open Air Luxury LSV the same as a golf cart or scooter?

No, our Open Air Luxury LSVs are street-legal vehicles that offer a unique and enjoyable way to get around Newport. While they might be considered a fun alternative to a golf cart or scooter, they provide enhanced comfort, safety features, and the ability to travel on a wider range of roads. Importantly, with every single road in Newport having a posted speed limit of 25 mph, our LSVs are perfectly suited for navigating the town. They are more spacious and offer a different kind of open-air experience.

Do I need a special license to drive an Open Air Luxury LSV like I might for a scooter?

No, a standard valid driver's license is required to rent and operate our Open Air Luxury LSVs, just like a regular car. You don't need a special motorcycle license as you might for some scooters.

How many passengers can an LSV accommodate compared to a golf cart or scooter?

Our Open Air Luxury LSVs can comfortably seat up to 6 passengers, significantly more than most golf carts (typically 2-4) or scooters (usually 1-2).

Where can I drive the Open Air Luxury LSV? Can I go on the same paths as golf carts or scooters?

Our Open Air Luxury LSVs are street legal and can be driven on roads with a speed limit of 35 mph or less within Newport. Given that every road in Newport has a posted speed limit of 25 mph, you can confidently explore the entire town in our LSVs. Golf carts and scooters often have more restrictions on where they can be driven. We will provide you with a map and guidelines on permitted areas for our LSVs.

Are the Open Air Luxury LSVs equipped with seat belts and safety features unlike a basic golf cart or scooter?

Yes, all passenger seats in our Open Air Luxury LSVs are equipped with seat belts, and their use is mandatory. They also have other safety features that may not be standard on golf carts or scooters.

What happens if I need to park the LSV? Can I park it like a golf cart or scooter?

You can park the Open Air Luxury LSV in any legal parking space within the permitted driving areas, similar to a regular car. Parking regulations for golf carts and scooters can differ.

Are the Open Air Luxury LSVs equipped with lights for evening driving, unlike many golf carts or scooters?

Yes, our LSVs are equipped with headlights, taillights, and turn signals for safe operation during evening hours, which is not always the case with golf carts or scooters.

How long can I rent an Open Air Luxury LSV for?

We offer various rental durations, including hourly, half-day, and full-day options, similar to car rentals.

What if there's an issue with the LSV during my rental?

We thoroughly maintain our vehicles. However, in the event of a mechanical issue, please contact us immediately using the phone number provided in your rental agreement. We will provide assistance as quickly as possible.

What is the minimum age to drive an LSV?

The driver must be 21 or older with a valid driver's license. Passengers can be any age and there is no minimum age limit. All passenger seats are equipped with seat belts, and seat belt use is mandatory for every passenger.

How much does it cost to rent an LSV in Newport?

LSV rentals in Newport start at $99/hour for our 2-passenger model, $129/hour for the 4-passenger, and $149/hour for the 6-passenger. Multi-day rentals range from $549 (2 days, 2-passenger) up to $2,499 (7 days, 6-passenger). Pricing is per vehicle, not per person — so a 6-passenger LSV at $149/hour works out to about $25/hour per person. See the full pricing table above for hourly, half-day, full-day, and multi-day rates across all three LSV sizes.

Where can I drive an LSV on Aquidneck Island?

Our Open Air Luxury LSVs are street-legal on every road in Newport, Middletown, and Portsmouth — the entire island of Aquidneck. LSVs are legal on any road with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less, and because every road in Newport is posted at 25 mph, you can access Ocean Drive, Bellevue Avenue, the Mansions, downtown Newport, Easton's Beach, and Castle Hill without restriction. The only limitation: LSVs cannot cross the Pell Bridge or leave Aquidneck Island.


How far can an LSV go on a single charge?

Our electric Open Air Luxury LSVs have up to 100 miles of range on a single charge — more than enough for a full day of Newport exploration, including the 10-mile Ocean Drive loop, the Mansions on Bellevue Avenue, multiple beach stops, and dinner downtown. You will not run out of charge during a normal rental day.

Do you offer LSV delivery in Newport?

Yes, we offer LSV delivery throughout Newport, Middletown, and Jamestown, RI. Delivery is free for larger orders and a small $35 delivery fee applies to smaller rentals. We deliver to hotels, vacation rentals, wedding venues, and private addresses. Call (401) 367-1618 to arrange delivery for your rental.
