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.
