Updated: September 6th, 2024

Renting golf carts might not immediately sound like a riveting business idea, but consider this: mobility is key for many leisure environments and practical settings. Starting a golf cart rental business means you’ll be offering a solution to a real need.

Your primary customers will be resorts, golf courses, large estates, and even event planners who require efficient transportation for guests. It’s an accessible venture where entry barriers are relatively low—essentially, you’ll need a fleet of well-maintained golf carts, insurance, and a website for bookings.

There’s tangible appeal here for entrepreneurs: minimal overhead, scalable operations, and a growing market as eco-friendly transport gains popularity. Simple to start and maintain, the golf cart rental business provides a reliable revenue stream with seasonal peaks—an attractive option for those wanting steady, manageable work. This business is particularly enticing for someone who values a grounded, pragmatic approach to entrepreneurship.

In this list, you'll find real-world golf cart rental business success stories and very profitable examples of starting a golf cart rental business that makes money.
