help! broken foot need golf cart

[disfanRN]

Just returned from the hospital-I fractured my foot and we leave for Fort wilderness in 3 days. Called for golf cart rental and no luck, the waiting list is 100 people long they said. Does anyone know where we can rent one around there???? Please help.

You might try one of the off site rental places, I dont have the names but someone on here should. The bike barn has had all the carts rented out for several weeks now, they commented last week that they were sold out well through the Easter holiday.

We have rented from Golf Cart Enterprises before and were very happy! It's been awhile though, so I'm not sure of their current policies. Check out their Web site for pricing and contact numbers!

You can check with the front desk about getting a wheelchair, they're free and you can take it out of the Fort to use it at the parks too. And if you give the front desk a call and tell them what happened, they can see about gettig you a site at the front of the loop so you're close to the bus stops.

For a time there was a big business of commercial cart rental companies delivering rental carts to FW, but Disney no longer allows them to be delivered to the campground. If you have a means to pick them up and transport them yourself, outside rentals are still available. One rental company mentioned often is Golf Cart Enterprises.


A company I was introduced to last year is Golf & Electric Vehicles Group (formerly known as CUSTOM CARRIAGES, INC.) According to their Regional Sales Manager (they have 5 locations around Florida) they have 2 passenger, 4 passenger and 6 passenger golf cars available for rental. Additionally, they offer gas and electric vehicles, although electric is preferable due to less noise and pollution. Rental rates are less than FW but you have to factor in a pickup and delivery charge of $50 roundtrip. They will deliver the vehicle to FW, coordinated in advance. Also, a rental agreement must be signed and faxed to them before delivery can be made. Payment by check or cash due upon delivery of vehicles. On my last trip to Fort Wilderness I tried out their services. On the appointed day they road up to my site in the cart and the day were were leaving they picked it up at the site. The down side to their services is that they do not pick up or deliver on the weekends. But, if you are staying for a couple of weeks and want a cart you can save money this way.


Other sources of carts in Orlando include:
EZGO 407-847-3444
Yamaha Factory Outlet 407-847-5019
Orlando Golf Carts 407-426-9727

Thanks everyone for the responses- but I am confused? The one post says they rented and had it delivered and then in the same sentence you said Disney doesn't allow it? On the phone today they said it was ok.

Unless they have had a change of policy again the delivery of carts is "officially" prohibited. Golf & Electric Vehicles Group just delivers to the day use parking lot in unmarked vehicles and drives the cart to your site. Some of the other rnetal companies have trailers you can rent for the pickup and return.
