Check with your homeowner's insurance company. Not all companies/policies will cover renting. If they don't and something goes wrong, you won't have coverage and could be personally responsible for any damages and liability. Not something I'd risk.

You can also check with the company that you have golf cart insurance with. You can usually allow them to use the cart but if you Rent the cart, it won't be covered and you will also be liable for damages to persons and property. Usually you can allow the use of it - just not rent it.

Lastly, you will need to open an account with the sales tax department of Florida and pay the required sales tax on the rental and cleaning fee amount. If you are in Sumter county that will be 7% of the rental and cleaning fee. Any deposit amount is not taxed.
