Golf carts are a part of our culture in 30A. We drive them on the golf course. We drive them to the beach. Sometimes we just drive them for the sheer enjoyment of it. But as true as it is that people in 30A love to drive golf carts, it’s also true that gas powered golf carts are being used less and less. Instead, electric golf carts have become the favored choice of the residents of Santa Rosa Beach, Destin, or Miramar Beach.

But why is electric the right choice for you?

No Refills Needed

When you rent a gas powered golf cart, chances are the rental shop will have it filled up for you already. However, if you’re planning a busy day or week with your golf cart, at some point you may need to add more gas along the way. Not only is this an annoying break from your activities, but it can become expensive. On the other hand, electric golf carts don’t need to be refilled. The battery will occasionally need to be charged, but most golf courses have charging stations so you can just plug your golf cart in and charge it during your lunch break.

Less Noise

Gas powered golf carts are notoriously noisy, but if you’ve used them for several years, you might not notice it — until you try an electric golf cart. One of the first things you’ll notice when driving an electric golf cart rental is the quiet. At most, there’s just a low hum as it rolls along. This is because electric golf carts produce less emissions, making them not only quieter for you but safer for the environment. It’s a win for everyone. In fact, some golf courses require electric golf carts because gas powered golf carts are just too noisy.

More Affordable

When it comes to cars, it’s a generally known fact that electric or hybrid cars are more costly than gas fueled cars. However, in the case of golf carts, the opposite is true. Not only are electric golf cart rentals typically more affordable than comparable gas powered golf carts, but they’re more affordable to operate. Because they only need to be charged, they cost about $.02-.04 to operate, as opposed to $.12-.14 for gas powered golf carts. And of course, when you rent an electric golf cart from The Rental Shop in 30A, it will arrive fully charged, so you might not have to worry about charging at all.
