Advice needed on renting golf car
When my wife and I finally retire and move to the house we've bought in The Villages, we're probably going to get a golf car (she' not so sure, coming from a hospital trauma background, she's not hot on a vehicle with no airbags and other safety gear). We're pretty ignorant on them and don't want to leap into buying one. We figured we'd rent for a month or two to see if we like them and to take our time learning the positives and negatives of them.
It seems like I've read somewhere in TOTV that rental golf cars are slowww.... I'm not looking to exceed the golf car speed limit (which is what? 22 mph?), but I don't want to cause traffic jams everywhere I go. Is that perception correct or is it just that rental cars have governors to limit them to the legal speed limit and those passing are just ignoring the speed limit? Can you rent a golf car with seat belts? My wife probably won't get into one without seat belts (she's dealt with too many patients with traumatic brain injuries that could have been avoided). Are there any particular golf car rental places that people recommend? We've seen one at Lake Sumter but I'm sure there are others. Are all rental golf cars electric? Or are they all gas? Or a mixture. We'd probably like to try each. I know this is somewhat of a religious topic so I won't ask for advice here on which is better. Thanks in advance for any helpful replies! |

Call Grandma & Grandpas. His carts are excellent & do not go slow. I do not know if he has electric we normally rent gas when we are down. His # is 352-552-8478. We rent until we come down full time. IMO he is the best out there. I have used 1 other recommended by people on TOTV & was not happy with him. Scott is reliable, prompt & quick getting back to you.

I rent from Don Cunningham of RentMe Carts when I'm in TV. He has good gas and electric carts and will go out of his way to help you. He is a TOTV sponsor and you can also see his carts on Facebook.

Do not rent from The Villages Golf Carts in the town squares. Those are set for 14.5 mph. Those are the slowwwwwww carts. I recommend JJ Enterprises but they don't have electric carts or seat belts, I think. You could call them to double check 317-679-1915. I pretty sure Don Cunningham's have belts. So, I'd probably check them our first.

Is it true that you can't get any insurance coverage when you drive a golf cart rental?

We just moved into TV last week and would like to know how much does it cost to rent a golf car?

Years earlier when we were on the Lifestyle preview program, the golfcart that was included was a little pokie. Seemed like everyone, even joggers could pass us art will. (no disrespect to joggers, just an attempt at humor). |
