FAQ for the price board

What is Port A Price Bot?
An independent Port Aransas community price-ranking machine. It freezes published overnight 24-hour golf cart widgets inside city limits and ranks them by passenger class. It is not a shop, not a booking desk, and not a brochure.
Does a golf cart shop own or run Port A Price Bot?
No. Price Bot is an independent community project. No shop owns the board. No shop writes the ranks. Rank-1 is a board-only award for that class on that read — never a claim that a shop is cheapest in town.
What does Rank-1 mean?
Rank-1 is the verified lowest published overnight 24-hour widget on that passenger-class board for that board read. Same class only. It is not an all-in checkout total and not a citywide cheapest award.
Are the ranked prices overnight only?
Yes. The board ranks overnight / 24-hour published widgets. Same-calendar-day and two-day stays stay off the tape.
Can a shop pay to rank higher?
No. There is no pay-to-rank. Money does not buy a slot. A missing widget is unranked, not hidden.
Does Price Bot invent prices?
No. The machine only ranks dollars a shop already posted on a public overnight widget or first-party published overnight base. No invented numbers. No private quotes.
What is an overnight widget?
The public 24-hour rental dollar a shop already published for one passenger class. That is the ranked dollar. Delivery, pickup, beach parking permit, fuel, tax, deposit, extra driver, and peak overlays that are not that published overnight base sit outside it.
Does Port A Price Bot rent golf carts?
No. Price Bot does not rent carts, take deposits, or book stays. It ranks published overnight widgets and points visitors to official city rules. To compare shops, open the board.
Do I need a driver's license to drive a golf cart in Port Aransas?
Yes. City and visitor-bureau rules say golf carts may only be operated by a person with a valid operator's permit and/or driver's license. Golf carts are motor vehicles. Seat belt, car seat, open container, and DWI laws apply. Confirm the current text with the City of Port Aransas.
Can golf carts drive on Highway 361 in Port Aransas?
Not as a through-road south of Avenue G. Official city materials say golf carts may not be operated on Highway 361 south of the Avenue G intersection. Cross only at the legal crossings on the city's Hwy 361 map. Streets posted over 35 mph are off-limits except a straight-across legal crossing.
Can golf carts drive on the Port Aransas beach?
The beach is treated as a city street. A city beach parking permit is required for motorized vehicles. The posted beach speed limit is 15 mph. Driving in the dunes or vegetation is prohibited. Stay out of the water. Confirm current beach maps and mile-marker limits with the city and Visit Port Aransas beach-rules pages.
Where are the official Port Aransas golf cart rules?
Start on this site's public rules hub, then open the city's own pages and PDFs: Golf Cart Information and Regulations, Article VIII in the municipal code, the Hwy 361 crossings map, and the 2026 Golf Cart Laws Strictly Enforced PDF. Price Bot restates public law. It does not replace the city.
