Default Emergeny golf cart help
We haven't had this problem yet, but just wondering. Who should we call for emergency help if our golf cart broke down while traveling far and wide in the villages?????

The first thing to do is buy a good tow rope and carry it in your cart. If you break down there will be many offers of help.
There also is a service, that for an annual fee will respond to your needs. They advertise in the Daily Sun.

My guess is that if that is your plan or thought process....you are in BIG trouble!!

I don't know your wife...and maybe she would do it...but most would not!!!

The only thing my wife pushes is the buttons on the remote control.

The golf cart aide business is a good idea. Their ad says 24/7 and I suppose they will bring you gas, tow you home, or put your cart on a trailer if not drivable.

I use 24 Hour Cart Club, Inc. although I've not had to call them (and hope I won't). Their web site is: www.24hrcartclub.com
Basic membership is only $35/yr. and the owner is a Sumter County Deputy Sheriff so his creds are pretty good. Good peace of mind to know someone will come if your wife won't push you home.

If you are going to request that gas be brought to you, make sure it is not an electric cart.

Unfortunately I bet this has happened more than a few times!
