About - National Carts

We started in 1988 with 10 golf carts. And we’ve grown into the largest fleet in North America, thanks to a dedicated team committed to making the buying, renting and servicing experience easier for our customers.

In 2017, Mid Florida Golf Cars and Virginia Golf Cars joined forces to become National Carts. We then added the Golf Car Company from Columbus, Ohio to the team, giving us offices in Orlando, Jacksonville, Deland, Harrisonburg, and Columbus.

We are the preferred cart rental provider for events across the U.S., serving organizations large and small, including IMSA, UPS and ISC, the home of NASCAR. We are also an authorized dealer for EZ-GO, Yamaha, Cushman, Carryall, and Star.

As we evolve into the future, we do so firmly grounded in our family traditions. We’ll continue to take care of our customers by providing courteous, efficient service and growing our team of dedicated individuals with a passion for doing things the right way.

Company History

1988

We started selling golf cars from my house in Lake Mary using liner adds to make extra money.

1989

We rented a building behind the Lincoln Ford Dealership in a Business Park off of Ronald Reagan Boulevard. We had executed a contract with EZ-GO Textron to assist on all of the manufacturers recalls on most of their vehicles, while still maintaining a large sales and service customer base.

1990

EZ-GO Textron gave us an opportunity to service and repair all of their fleet golf cars in North Florida. We also maintained the growing sales and service aspect of our business. The location was 2 blocks North of our previous location and proved to add to our ongoing success.

1991

We had the opportunity to move into a building located in Longwood off of Hwy 17/92, now known as the Enterprise Car Rental Location. This location offered a much better storefront which gave us the opportunity to continue to grow and be successful in the Central Florida region. That same year, we had the opportunity to open a new location in Jacksonville, FL to reach and serve the North Florida region.

1998-2003

Our team successfully continued to lead in sales, service, and event rentals with highly functioning locations specifically placed around the state of Florida.

2004

We made a move to open our Corporate Office. This gave us the opportunity to separate our sales and service divisions to focus on other projects and revenue growth. The location gave an opportunity to focus on the upcoming opportunities.

2005

Mid Florida Golf Cars, “MFGC” became a dealer of the BIG three. Yamaha, Club Car, and as you already know, EZGO. We had previously worked with the later two dealers, but were given the opportunity to move forward and assist them from a manufacturer’s growth prospective.

2006

Our team was given the opportunity to lease golf cars to the UPS. This was an excellent growth opportunity for us. We are proud to still be vendors for such a respected company and work together from logistics stand point with them as logistics are ever changing.

2008

Mid Florida Golf Cars turned a new page. We decided to change our original logo to something more modern and recognizable. This gave us the ability to show our modern creativity within the market. Always striving to be a change maker within the ever-changing industry.

2012

All aspects of the company were running smoothly. We had an opportunity to be involved in the low speed electric vehicle movement. This movement was and still is worldwide. MFGC started EVOLVE Motor Corp. Three vehicles were imported from South Korea, in which, our corporate team traveled there to meet with the manufacturers. There, they discussed and validated the need for LSV’s in the United States. We moved forward with the manufacturer and it posed to be an excellent marketing tool, as well as learning opportunity company wide. This one aspect of importation and creativity was a driving factor for communities within Central Florida to start the Low Speed Electric Vehicle Movement.

2013

As an ever-changing company. We vamped it up again. Moved our core platform to a much more inventory recognition system for cost control and real time revenue recognition. MFGC also, acquired a Point of Sale System to use in the field for rental events which gave us the ability to provide our customers with a much faster service than previously rendered. The technology was an excellent breaking out point for our company to continue to realize real cost recognition and provide our customers with a much faster service.

2014

The rental business is a largely successful part of our company, not only were we able to provide faster services in the field, we also were able to provide customers the ability to make online reservations for rental events. Our goal was to make every aspect of rental process painless and easy. Our team was still sales and service focused. With the new core system in place, it provided customers the true ideal of the value that our services held. Our staff continued to grow and provide a large amount of assistance to our customer base.

2017

While still maintaining our status as one of the largest distributors within the Southeast Region, we decided, it would be beneficial to expand. MFGC purchased Virginia Golf Cars. This has proven to be a positive acquisition. We found that building upon our existing team has proven to be very successful. The collective collaboration as well as the expansion of our own fleet, has been beneficial.

2018

Our core and team has grown in a very positive way. Another opportunity opened for us to purchase Ohio Golf Car Company. This has also proven to be a successful acquisition. Our ability to be relatable to different management groups, and adjust with the times has made us successful. We want to continue that success and assist with positive growth within the industry.

January 2019

After 30 years of creating an effortless experience for every customer, Mid Florida Golf Cars officially becomes National Carts.
