I have a new rental and am thinking instead of providing a golf cart, I would discount the rent and steer the renter towards a rental.
Some have told me the rentals are not very good, and are very slow. Want the renters to have a good experience.
Thoughts?

We just had a bad experience with Crazy Gators cart rental. Rented a 4 seater for my daughter's family. 2 adults and 1 2yr old.
Everything about scheduling and delivery were fine. FYI: Only accepts cash.
Was looking for front facing 4 seater, but settled on rear facing back seat as they didn't have the front facing ones available. I was impressed as it was very nice.
After driving it for a day, we noticed the brakes were not good. Downhill to enter a tunnel and brake pedal to floor barely slowed it enough to make turn to enter. It also backfired very loudly every time we did stop.
Contacted owner who came next morning, he seemed irritated. Started off by telling me it cost him $1.80 a mile to get to my home and he was going to pull wheel off so WE could inspect brakes together and at the same time stated he doesn't rent "crap equipment ". He pulled to wheels off and they had a sealed brake system that told us absolutely nothing about the condition of the brakes. He told me and my daughter that we are not mechanics and the brakes are good, we just are expecting too much brake response for 3 people in the cart. He also said ALL carburetor cars backfire like that, which I know is not true.
After feeling belittled, scolded and lied to by the owner, we told him we would make do with my cart. He did give me a full cash refund and took his cart.
