Several years ago I looked into doing what you are thinking about. The liability scared me to death. If you rent a cart and they have an acciedent and anyone is hurt you will be sued. Not perhaps you will be sued. Yes they will come after the driver then they will come after the person who rented it to them. You better have deep pockets or no pockets at all. If you have no pockets at all it is hard to get into this business. It is very hard to find someone to insure your business and when you do you will think that you have a partner.
If you decide to do this then you have to go out and purchase the carts which is not easy. Your only market to purchase is out of the newspaper on for sale by owner and this can be interesting at best. Most of the guys who have been doing this for a while in this area have all of the other outlets tied up such as the golf cart stores that take trade-ins.
Yes there is a great market for this but the liability scared me to death! Oh and by the way the people that you rent a cart to will drink and drive them and they will let their grandchildren drive them. A great way to loose your retirement savings.
I do wish you the best of luck this is just my opinion.
