3redheads Posted October 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2018 We want to rent a golf cart when we visit, but I find nothing but awful reviews and haven't found a review of a good company. Can anyone recommend a company that doesn't have loads of bad reviews and bad experiences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted October 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 29, 2018 There are 3 primary golf cart rental vendors on GT. Karib, Nathan's and Wet Money. All their carts are about the same. Many got wrecked in the hurricanes last year. And from latest reports, aren't in the best shape. Not that they were ever in the best shape. Wet Money at one time was a pretty decent outfit. But seems like all of these guys are related in one way or another. IMO, you'd be better off renting a jeep or scooter from maxkarta, also out side the cruise port, or just hiring a taxi for a tour.

Loonbeam Posted October 29, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 29, 2018 We rented from Omar, the golf cart as noted was not even close to the best of shape, but it got us around. I can't say anything great, but I can't say anything negative either. It was...ok.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N&J Posted October 31, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 31, 2018 We will be at Grand Turk on November 19 and are renting from Omar. Even before the hurricane the golf cart have not been perfect, but get us around. I have been to the island twice before and rented from Karib, but this time he has not responded to any of my emails. So going to try with Omar has been very responsive already have my reservation and just confirmed it this week. So he has been very responsive.

Pretty sure Nathan went out of business several years ago. Now it's Karib, Wet Money and MaxKart. We always use Karib just since we have a history with them. Grand Turk is a very small island and with the hurricanes, the salt air and poor roads, golf carts take a beating and it's not like they can run down to a local retailer and replace them.

planmaker Posted November 17, 2018 #13 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I rented PT cruisers, an ATV and a scooter from Max for December. He responded and this is what he had for a group of 15. Should I be worried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogslider Posted December 26, 2018 #14 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) I had contacted Omar to rent to golf carts for last week. He was very responsive to the first email and also to the follow up to confirm the week before. Well, when we got there Omar had gone home as rented out all of his golf carts and was told he wouldn't be back for hours. I sent an email once home about my frustration that he guaranteed the carts and again he was very responsive, but very rude. Never again.

brookeq Posted January 30, 2019 #18 Share Posted January 30, 2019 We rented a scooter from Omar. Everything was very easy. We were the second ship to arrive. When we got there he "upgraded" us to an ATV. We didn't care but not sure what would have happened if we wanted the scooter. He didn't have any there. I did check when we got home an ATV was more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njrover0216 Posted January 31, 2019 #19 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Maxauto rentals went very easy. Our golf cart went a decent speed, another couple that was following us to the lighthouse rented from another company and had a pinkish golf cart, theirs wasn't nearly as fast as ours. Walk out the gate and they are waiting right there on the right side. Handed him my paper work and off we went. Very easy experience. They also gave us a small map and pointed out some tourist areas recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threedjmay Posted February 10, 2019 #21 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Sent an e-mail to Omar for my May cruise for a cart rental. Responded within minutes. No deposit needed. I will let you know as we get back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolferGal2 Posted February 10, 2019 #22 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Are there many bars along the way to do a bar hoping? We will have DD's. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted February 11, 2019 #23 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Not that I recall. There was one at the lighthouse, one bar/restaurant along the north side, and a couple near cockburn town. Actually, for distance driven that should be plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Jack's Shack is on the left right before Governor's Beach. Then head down to Pillory Beach and Bihio Beach Resort is there and they have a bar on the beach. After there head to the lighthouse and they have a bar there. Those are the three places we hit up and got drinks to go when we left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
