I've found that most renters are pretty careful with golf carts -- especially, when their liability it explained to them. Most accidents here seem to be caused by us folks who are too comfortable driving our carts and get careless and by older grandkids who just don't seem to understand carts are not as stable as cars.

This is correct and it's possible that Allstate is still the only company offering such insurance. Yes, to comply owners must offer to loan the cart to their rental guests at no extra charge. Owners are allowed to charge whatever rent they wish for their property, so the use of the cart can be factored into the overall rent.
This creates a situation which is identical to your giving permission to a neighbor or relative to use your cart. You and the borrower are fully insured.
