New Golf Cart Company

[tim5055]

In respone to my Fort Wilderness page (link below) I received an e-mail from a golf cart company I have never dealt with.

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 $225 per week for any of these vehicles. Pickup and delivery is $50 round-trip. Their monthly rates for longer term campers are $450 per month for these types of vehicles. 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

I had a hard time believing the delivery claim and had to call them and ask about it. Steve Senesi stated they deliver to FW regularly.

Apparently they will coordinate a time to meet you out front and they utilize plain "non-commercial" delivery vehicles.

It may be a way to save a few dollars for a cart. I want to point out that to date I have not personally used them, so due diligence is in order.

Thanks for the info -- I have a ressie for a 4 person GC from the bike barn. We wanted a 6 person cart, but was told I could not make a ressie for this "one".

I do like the idea of the delivery being made for us (it's worth $50).

We will be there Aug 8 - 17 so it may be worth it to give them a try.

I hope that if anyone else has used this company they give you feedback.

Thanks again,
Lisa

I called the Reception Outpost and asked them about gas carts. They said they were not permitted.

I know I have seen them in the past, but this is what they are saying now, so make sure you rent an electric cart.

Wow thats a good price. I have one reserved for the week we are their in December from the Bike Barn and it cost us 288.00, that is with a so called discount for renting for the week.

I don't know, to me renting from an outside company for $275 doesn't seem a real deal when compared to renting directly from Disney for $288. The extra $13 would be nice if there was any problem with the cart, and it would seem easier to pick up and drop off without having to coordinate meeting an outside company.
