golf cart rentals

Does someone have current info on the price for weekly golf cart rentals?

Good question. Here’s a breakdown of current (or recent) information on weekly golf cart rentals for North Captiva Island:

What the local / official sources say:

  • According to Visit North Captiva, weekly golf cart rentals generally range from $400–$800, depending on the cart size (4-seater vs 6-seater) and the season.
  • Their rental guide also notes that many vacation rentals bundle a cart into the stay; but if not included, independent rental companies (like North Captiva Island Club) are a good place to reserve.
  • The “4-passenger carts” specifically are often quoted around $500–$700/week for weekly rentals.

Third-party / local independent rental example:

  • Salty Wheels Golf Cart Rentals: While their base operations are on Captiva, they provide carts for barrier-island use. Their weekly rate for a 4-passenger cart is $895/week, and a 6-passenger cart is $975/week (plus tax & CC fees).

Key things to note:

  • Because North Captiva is car-free, golf carts are the main mode of transport — demand can be very high, so reserving early (especially for weekly rentals) is strongly recommended.
  • Rental agreements typically require drivers to be 16+ with a valid driver’s license.
  • Security deposits may apply (based on local providers and rentals). Visit North Captiva notes that for weekly rentals, you may need to put down a deposit; the exact amount depends on the company.

Bottom line / recommendation:

Expect to pay roughly $500–$800 per week for a golf cart on North Captiva, depending on size and provider. For couples or small families, a 4-seater cart around $500–$700/week is common via vacation-rental companies. If you're using a third-party rental (like Salty Wheels), rates may be a little higher, but availability and delivery logistics are often more flexible.

Be sure to:

  • Ask your rental host if a golf cart is included — many properties do this already.
  • Reserve your cart at least several weeks ahead (peak season especially), because inventory is limited.
  • Clarify deposit and damage responsibility with the rental company before signing or paying.
