I always wondered why the door enclosures in homes that roll open and close, are not also available for carts....That might be a good "shark tank" invention!

jebartle, I'm 5'5", and I have an extra cushion behind me when I drive the golf cart as I would be too far from the pedals without the cushion so I don't have to worry abou the long legs issue.

Ahhhhhhhh! Does he have insurance that covers "rental" carts. The landlord may have regular insurance on the cart but as soon as the insurance company finds out that it is being used as a rental......that's a totally different story.

Hetz, Alamo, Thrifty and the rest of the car rental agencies don't have just regular "personal" insurance on their cars. You, as the renter, have to provide insurance on their cars. I'm pretty sure it's the same with golf carts.

Think about it. If I rent to you my golf cart for money, and you go out and wreck it, why would my insurance company want to pay for that.

Yes, but don't pull over onto someone's lawn. People like carts in their yards even less than dog poop.

5'5" qualifies for little, I'm 5'9", and I've beaten up my knees trying to get out of golf carts with the doors that have a permanent panel that attaches to the front of the golf cart....I'm sure they are great for many Villagers...
