Golf cart rental prices typically range from $35 to $150 per day, depending on various factors. I'll break down exactly what you can expect to pay and what influences the cost.

Daily rental rates generally follow this structure: • Basic electric golf cart: $35-50 • Gas-powered golf cart: $45-65 • Luxury or specialty carts: $75-150 • Multiple day discounts: 10-20% off daily rate

For hourly rentals, expect to pay: • 1-2 hours: $20-30 • 4 hours: $25-40 • 6 hours: $30-45

Weekly rental rates typically range from $150-400, offering significant savings compared to daily rates.

Several factors affect the final rental price:

Location Resort and tourist areas charge premium rates, often 20-30% higher than standard rates. Golf courses typically charge $20-25 per round, while beach locations might charge $40-60 per day.

Season Peak season (summer months and holidays) can increase rates by 25-40%. Off-season rentals often come with discounts of 15-25%.

Cart Type • Standard 2-seater: Base rate • 4-seater: 25-35% more than standard • 6-seater: 50-75% more than standard • Luxury models: Can cost twice the standard rate

Additional Costs to Consider: • Insurance: $5-15 per day • Damage deposit: $100-500 (refundable) • Delivery fees: $25-50 if needed • Fuel charges (for gas carts): Usually included, but verify • Late return fees: Often $25-50 per hour

To get the best deal, I recommend: • Booking in advance (especially during peak season) • Asking about multi-day discounts • Comparing rates from multiple rental companies • Checking if insurance is included • Confirming all fees upfront • Looking for off-season specials

Many rental companies require: • Valid driver's license • Minimum age of 18 or 21 • Credit card for deposit • Signed liability waiver

Remember to inspect the cart before accepting it and document any existing damage to avoid disputes upon return.
