Book well in advance. Florida car rentals sell out fast, especially in winter months.

Within The Villages, golf carts are the primary way to get around. A car is helpful for airport runs and day trips.

The Villages has over 100 miles of golf cart paths. Most errands, restaurants, and activities are golf-cart accessible.

Several local companies offer daily and weekly golf cart rentals. Ask your host for trusted providers.

Golf cart availability is limited during peak season. If you're visiting November through April, secure your rental as early as possible.
