Hi! We own a home in Amelia, but are only able to visit for a few weeks at a time. We won't be permanent Villagers for a few more years. The last few times we rented a golf cart from The Villages Golf Car shop in LSL, the cart has been in pretty poor condition. They've squeaked, and don't have much power. Do any of you know of another place to rent a golf cart from? We are planning to be at TV for 2 weeks in late November, and would really love to rent a better quality golf cart. Thanks for any advice!

Hi Tracy,

We are in the same situation. We tried someone we saw in the Daily Sun online in the summer and the cart was better than what we rented from the Villages previously. However, we were not terribly happy with the service or condition of the cart. We will be back the week of Thanksgiving and are trying Reid's Rental this time around. http://www.reidsreliablecartrentals.com/

We are just going to try different rental suppliers until we find someone we like. I think I found a link to Reid's on TOTV. Good luck!

I'm renting an EZGO electric from H&H rentals (daily online Sun) in early November, it's got the AC drive. I'll give feedback on the experience in a few weeks.

Thanks to both of you. I'll watch for your reviews. Did you find the prices competitive? I found this website when doing a search, I may also consider them. www.villagesgolfcartman.com

Try Jim Followell at 352 259 7525 he has several nice carts for rent.

I have used Jim in the past and excellent service and good cart. I can't speak for any one else. Good Luck.

The Villages recently rented to a friend of mine, it was $85 for a week for a 2 seat gas and it was not a very good cart.

H&H quoted me $95/week for a 2008 EZGO electric (AC drive, which I wanted), and has enclosures, includes delivery and pickup. That's for the 1st week of Nov. I'll let you know what I think about it in mid Nov.

Hi Traci,
I also rented from LSL and the golf carts are slow and smell from the gas. It was not an enjoyable rental experience. Plus you have to pick it up and return it yourself. If you don't have a car or someone to depend on for that task it creates issues. Back in May I rented from NVR Fail, very good experience. I believe the owners sold that business and left the area of TV. I currently have a 4 seater reserved from "Affordable Cart Rentals" which I will be using next week. Does anyone have experiences with them? Thank you...

[tracy1j]

Thanks for all of your replies and wonderful information! I am going to start making some calls this weekend to reserve a cart for November. I really appreciate your help.

How did the rental go. Any info on H&H would be helpfull.

I am in the exact same position. Own in Amelia, come down a few weeks at a time. Have rented the last 4 times thru Debbie ( owner) at H & H.Great company. They have all enclosed EZGOS, gas and electric. Always on time, friendly, deliver right to driveway. Great co. to deal with. Once you rent from them,. they keep all info on file and it is just one quick phone call and you are set everytime you come...E A S Y...
Tell em Chuck and Wanda in Amelia said hi!

H&H - the rental process itself was fine, but the cart was a real clunker.
Just my experience.

We just rented from Jim a few weeks ago for the first time per this thread. Very reasonable but he seemed to have mostly gas carts and just a few electric. I would still give him a call as it seems he is always getting more carts in. Very nice person.
