You’ve seen golf carts rolling around the island and the beach, but what about large military vehicles? Padre Island Humvee Rentals is a new business getting ready to open its doors that will offer daily rentals for retired authentic military Humvees. They are street-legal and can be driven over the JFK Causeway.
“Why is everybody driving golf carts around when you can’t take the golf cart to a restaurant, or the grocery store, or somewhere right after you get done with the beach? Why can’t we get something that will do it all? So, we wanted to be able to take it over the bridge, we wanted to be able to just go wherever,” Sonni Menaldi, one of the co-owners of Padre Island Humvee Rentals said.
