Default Zip Cars

Does anyone know of a ZipCar location that is golf cart accessible in The Villages?

Perhaps there is another service that rents cars with insurance and gas by the hour?

This is a really popular convenience in many metro areas. It is especially helpful if you only need a car on occasion and for a limited amount of time.

Did you go to their website and check? When you put in any ZIP code (no pun intended) you get:

Zipcars aren't in this area yet
We don't have any cars in this area. Try searching for a different location or check out the closest locations below (which was Orlando and definitely not YET but probably soon golf car accessible).

Seems difficult to believe that folks who live here will be renting out their Teslas and Lamborghinis by the hour!

Edit: Hertz advertises hourly rentals and there is (or was?) one in Spanish Springs or you can rent a small truck at Lowes for $19 for the first hour!.

You might have more luck with Turo, it's similar to a Zip car except it's the actual individual owner of the car.
Also you can rent a car for the day relatively cheap at Enterprise in LSL.

They tend to be in big cities and near college campuses.

Sounds too fast for old people.
