Renting a Golf Cart

When you need a comfortable, convenient, and compact way to get around, you can’t go wrong with a golf cart. Unfortunately, as affordable as they are, they’re still a hefty investment—so why not rent instead? We here at Revel 42 Golf Carts & Powersports believe in only spending the money you need to, so we’ve put together some information on renting a golf cart, below. To learn more, or to see the golf carts we have for rent, contact our store in Garner, North Carolina, today!

Why Rent?

First off, it’s important to understand why exactly renting a golf cart can be handy. For instance, if you’re considering buying a cart, renting a similar model (or the same type) can help cement your decision, or possibly show you that it’s not a great fit. If you only need a cart for a specific occasion, it’s also cheaper overall to rent rather than buying a cart you may not use again.

Uses

Golf carts have seen a lot of innovation and development in the last couple decades, making them compatible with more environments than just the golf course. People with mobility issues can use them to traverse the neighborhood, street-legal models can take you on errands around town, and special events and vacations can benefit from the fun and comfort golf carts provide!

Finding the Right Model

Now that you know the “why,” it’s time to cover the “how.” Your first step is to determine the number of people your cart needs to carry at once. The average model can fit two to four people, but others can seat up to six. 

Next, think about how the cart will be used. If it’s going to be doing any work, consider finding a model that includes a stationary bed and a tailgate to carry your tools and supplies. Some models even have a dump bed and tow package, complete with headlights and tail lights!

Finally, consider your preferred fuel type. Most carts will come ready and fueled, but the average rental agreement says that you’re in charge of returning it fully fueled as well. There are also two primary types of engine golf carts will use: electric or gas. A gas golf cart tends to have more consistent speed and is easier and faster to refuel, but it’s loud, smelly, and can cause pollution to one degree or another. Electric carts are silent and green, but can take a while to charge.
