Gas Golf Carts or Electric Golf Carts - Its Your Choice With New Wave Vacation Rentals
Electric Carts are a great choice being that they are completely silent and do not emit anything into the air. Back up cameras and blue tooth speakers come standard with our brand new electric models. It is best to plug them in each night during your stay. You can travel approximately 40 miles on a full charge.
Gas Carts offer the power and excitement you expect and do need to be returned with a full tank of gas. These are also brand new carts in 2022 that come with blue tooth speakers.
New Wave offers FREE delivery to most of our rental home customers for multi day rentals. We will have your cart ready and waiting in the driveway of your New Wave Rental house. When you checkout, you can leave the cart right where you found it.
