Most rental companies require: - Valid driver's license - Minimum age of 18 or 21 - Credit card for deposit - Signed rental agreement
Remember that many golf courses include cart rental in their green fees, typically ranging from $15-30 per round, which can be more economical if you're planning to golf.
