FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers from a family-owned dealer. Don't see your question? Call or text 352-777-9909.
Buying & Value
Do I need an expensive lifted cart to get a good one?
No. Plenty of shops sell carts jacked way up with big price tags. ICON EV and EPIC carts give you a comfortable ride, modern tech and a solid warranty for a lot less. Buy the cart that fits how you'll use it. You don't need a Rolls-Royce to be happy.
Why do people choose ICON and EPIC carts?
They're easy to use, well built and priced fairly. Every new ICON X and EPIC FX comes standard with a touchscreen display, LED lighting and lithium power options. We're an authorized dealer for both brands, so you get factory warranty support right here at our shop.
I'm on a fixed income. Can I still get a good cart?
Yes. Tell us your budget up front and we'll show you the carts that fit it, new or pre-owned. Financing is available on approved credit, and we give you an itemized out-the-door quote before you commit to anything.
Can you send me photos and details on a cart?
Absolutely. Call or text 352-777-9909 and we'll send photos, the full spec sheet and a link to the listing so you can look it over at home before you decide.
Do you sell pre-owned carts?
Yes. We carry inspected pre-owned carts, and every one is checked by our mechanics before it goes on the lot. Inventory moves fast, so call for what's available today.
Do you take trade-ins?
Yes. Bring your cart in or send us photos through the trade-in page and we'll give you a value toward your next cart.
What warranty comes with a new cart?
Most new carts carry a 3-year factory warranty, and ICON X models carry a limited lifetime battery warranty. Since we're the authorized dealer, warranty work is handled in our own shop.
Delivery & Pickup
Do you deliver?
Yes, anywhere in Florida. You can also pick up free at our Brooksville shop. Most carts are ready for pickup or delivery within 1ā3 business days.
How much is delivery?
It depends on distance. Call 352-777-9909 with your address and we'll quote you on the spot. We're upfront about it, with no surprise charges at drop-off.
Can I save on delivery?
Often, yes. When we already have carts heading your direction, for example several going to the Fort LauderdaleāMiami area, we share the trip and lower your delivery fee. Ask us when our next run to your area is.
Do you deliver to Timber Pines?
Yes, delivery to Timber Pines in Spring Hill is free.
Will you show me how to use the cart at delivery?
Yes. Our driver walks you through charging, the touchscreen, lights and safety features before leaving, and we're one phone call away after that.
Storage & Weather
Do I need a garage, or can I keep my cart outside?
A garage is best, but outside is fine. Use a good fitted cover to protect it from sun, rain and pollen. Keep it on a level surface and plug it in so the battery stays healthy.
Will rain damage the touchscreen?
No. The touchscreen displays on our new carts are built for outdoor use and handle Florida rain. A cover still adds years of life to the seats, screen and paint.
How big is the screen?
About 10 inches on most models. It's a touchscreen, so it's big enough for music, navigation and cart info without being in the way.
Do you offer golf cart storage?
Yes. Ask us about storing your cart with us, which is a great option for snowbirds and seasonal residents.
Security & Peace of Mind
Are golf carts stolen much? How do I protect mine?
Theft isn't common, especially in gated communities, but simple steps help. Always take the key, park it in a garage or near your home, and hide a small GPS tracker on the cart so you can find it if it ever goes missing.
Will thieves go after the touchscreen?
Not likely. The screens are mounted securely and take real time and tools to remove, so they aren't an easy grab. Lock it up and sleep easy.
Should I insure my golf cart?
We recommend it. A golf cart isn't legally required to be insured in Florida, but coverage protects you against theft, damage and liability. Many homeowner and auto insurers offer an affordable add-on. Street-legal LSVs do require insurance.
Batteries & Charging
Lithium or lead-acid ā which should I get?
Lithium for most people. It charges faster, costs less to charge, never needs watering, has no acid smell and gives you steady power all the way down, with no hill-climb guesswork. Lead-acid costs less up front if you're on a tight budget.
Can you upgrade my current cart to lithium?
Yes, for nearly every make, including Club Car, E-Z-GO, Yamaha and ICON. We carry Eco Battery and Pure Energy lithium, offer free pickup and drop-off for swaps, and turn most installs around in about 48 hours.
How often should I charge?
With lithium, charge after use and don't worry about it. Plug it in when you park. If it's sitting for weeks, follow the storage charge level in your owner's manual.
Do lithium batteries need software updates?
Eco Battery packs get firmware updates. We run them free at either shop, or our mobile tech can come to you for a flat $40.
Service & Repairs
Do you service carts you didn't sell?
Yes, all makes. We have E-Z-GO and Yamaha mechanics on site, plus full ICON and EPIC factory support.
Do you offer an annual service plan?
Yes. A yearly check of brakes, tires, steering, electrical and batteries keeps your cart safe and holds its value. Call for current pricing.
Can you pick up my cart for service?
Yes. Book on our Schedule a Service Pickup page or call 352-777-9909, and we'll pick it up and bring it back.
Rules & Driving
Do I need a license to drive a golf cart in Florida?
On public roads, yes. Drivers under 18 need a valid learner's permit or driver's license. Drivers 18 and older need a valid driver's license or government-issued photo ID. Golf carts can only use roads your city, county or community has designated for them, so check your local rules.
What's the difference between a golf cart and an LSV?
A golf cart tops out at 20 mph and isn't titled or registered. A street-legal LSV (low-speed vehicle) goes up to 25 mph, has a VIN, and must be titled, registered and insured, and you need a driver's license to drive one. We'll help you pick the right one for where you drive.
Rentals
Do you rent golf carts?
Yes: daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal rentals, plus event rentals. Book online, and we deliver and pick up.
How does payment work for a rental?
You pay the full rental at booking plus a $100 refundable deposit that covers any incidentals. The deposit comes back after the cart is returned in good shape.
