My wife and I take our car almost everywhere unless we are trying to kill time or if one of us has the SUV and the other needs to get somewhere in TV which is not very seldom but happens from time to time. So for us the cart is in place of a second car. My wife can go to play bingo and I am able to go to the rec center or rent a movie at SweetBays however I am waiting for a bicycle to be delivered which will be used for much of the same uses while providing me with the exercise I need to keep losing weight. Given a choice we will choose the SUV over the cart unless we are just going a few blocks to the pool/mail. We rather drive without sweating/shivering, listen to the radio, parking without concern over whether it will rain or not (zip up the sunbrella or not) and feel much safer than driving in a cart.

So no you do not need a cart but they make an inexpensive second means of transportation for those times when you and your spouse have different plans for the day.
