offsite cart vendors

I am sure it has already been asked but can an outside/offsite golf cart rental co. deliver to the grounds?

Yes it has, many times. The search feature will get you answers.

Howdy cerdafied, all 7 of you, welcome to disboards FW forum!!

I checked out one of my favorite FW FAQ sites and found you can't. It's at this link, about half way down http://home.hiwaay.net/~jlspence/faq_fw.htm.

It says:

"A convenient and less expensive alternative to the Fort Wilderness carts was Golf Carts of Central Florida, which would deliver a cart to your Wilderness Cabin or campsite and pick it up and the end of your stay. Unfortunately, Disney put a stop to this service in the middle of October 2001. If they are able to start back up, I'll be sure to update this section."

It's always a good idea to call them directly, that same link has a contact number at the bottom of the page.

Jeff hasn't updated his site with the most current info:

While Disney does not condone deliveries, they occur every day. A company I was introduced to a few years ago 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. Contact Steve Senesi for more information.

Tell Steve Tim sent you. I have more info on carts as well as other companies on my FW page below.
