Victoria’s New Street-Legal Golf Carts: A Fun New Way to Explore Downtown
Victoria just got a little more fun - and eco-friendly!
As of spring 2025, street-legal electric golf carts are officially allowed on downtown streets, offering locals and visitors a unique way to explore the city. And for guests staying at the Oswego Hotel, this new mode of transportation is right outside your door.

Approved by the City of Victoria as part of a pilot program, these compact, four-wheeled electric vehicles can now legally travel on roads with speed limits of 50 km/h or less. This makes them perfect for sightseeing trips to the Inner Harbour, Fisherman’s Wharf, or along the scenic Dallas Road waterfront – all just minutes from the Oswego.
A New Way to See Downtown Victoria
While the Oswego Hotel isn’t the rental provider, its prime location in Victoria’s James Bay neighbourhood puts you within easy reach of HeyYa Golf Carts – the company now offering these golf cart rentals. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, a business retreat, or a family vacation, these carts provide a relaxed and flexible way to explore Victoria without needing a full-sized vehicle.
