When to Rent a Golf Cart
A golf cart is a great asset to have! These affordable vehicles are extremely easy to drive and have a ton of storage space. However, if you’re not in the market to buy a golf cart, renting one is always a great option. Read our article for some insight on when you’ll want to rent a golf cart, and when it might be better to buy one. Then head over to our dealership in Citrus Heights, California to browse our inventory or speak with a sales rep.
Vacation
Your vacation is a great time to rent a golf cart! If you’re needing to travel around town for cheap, renting one of these little vehicles is the way to go. You can also rent a model that’s equipped for all terrain and easily drive along the beach or out in the woods. Not only is a golf cart more affordable than a rental car, it also uses less gas, and is even easier to park!
Customizations
Even if you have your own golf cart at home, renting can still be beneficial. Golf carts can come with a lot of customizations and gadgets that are great for specific purposes. However, if you don’t regularly use these features they’re a bit of a waste of money. For example, if your cart is equipped for regular trips along the beach, it wouldn’t be prepared for driving across a muddy campsite. Instead, simply rent an already customized vehicle and have fun kicking up mud out in the woods.
Minimal Use
If you’re not going to be using your golf cart regularly it’s much more economical to rent than buy. This way you don’t have to invest in a machine you won’t use much, but still have it on hand whenever the need arises.
Renting to Buy
Sometimes a test drive just doesn’t cut it. If you want to become very familiar with your model before buying it, you might try renting it first. This is a great way to check how the cart may perform in your day to day life. Maybe you use it less than you expected, or find some features more beneficial than others. You won’t know till you try!
When Not to Rent
There are a few scenarios where you won’t want to rent a golf cart. If you plan on using the vehicle regularly, renting won’t be a very good use of your money, and we advise just buying a cart for yourself. If you plan on using a golf cart to carry heavy cargo or travel long distances, it would be better to save and buy a model instead. You don’t want to return the golf cart to the dealership and have to pay expensive fines.
