Star Golf Cart | Street Legal Golf Cart Rental | Prime Cart Rentals

Posted on April 27, 2026May 16, 2026 by Lars

On our new street legal golf cart rental site, Prime Golf Cart Rentals, where we’ve partnered with Journee for easy rental booking, the carts we use are all the newest Star golf cart models. With our Star carts, customers have the option of booking via the Journee reservation page, or coming to one of our store locations – either in Riviera Beach or Fort Lauderdale – to scan a QR code on the cart to rent it right there and then. Our scan-and-go method allows customers to rent a cart the same day in just a few minutes, by simply scanning the QR code sticker and downloading the Journee app, and then entering all necessary information (such as payment info, driver’s licenses, and insurance cards).

As street legal vehicles, Star golf carts have a variety of safety features, including headlights, taillights, brake lights, horn, turn signals, seat belts, and a maximum speed of 24mph. They also come with a variety of luxury features that set them apart from standard golf cart rentals, such as a high-capacity lithium battery, extra cushioned seats, a backup camera, and a Bluetooth soundbar. According to Star, the lithium battery has an estimated range of 40-60 miles on a charge, depending on the terrain and usage. Lithium batteries also have a variety of advantages over standard lead-acid batteries, such as longer driving range, shorter charging time, no maintenance, no fumes, and less weight on the cart.

For any questions about availability or how to book, or if you want to pick up a Star golf cart at one of our stores, use our contact form to get in touch with us to ensure that you will get the cart you’re looking for.

For both standard lead-acid batteries and a lithium battery system, our ultra-thin golf cart solar panels are compatible and offer a variety of benefits to your cart and batteries. Available at our golf cart parts and accessories online store, Prime Cart Parts, our solar panels come in three different options – 130W, 260W, and 390W; when buying more, you save more. They work by installing on top of the golf cart roof, nearly invisible when looking at the cart from any angle but straight down, and are compatible with many different brands of carts, including EZGO, Club Car, Yamaha, and more. Our kits come with all necessary wiring and hardware for installation.

Miami Spice 2025 | Miami Golf Cart Rental | Event Rental

Posted on August 13, 2025August 11, 2025 by Lars

When vacationing in south Florida, many of our customers opt for a golf cart rental rather than a car, for ease of use, more affordable pricing, and a more unique driving experience, among other reasons. Customers also like to rent carts for easy and fun travel through events. For customers staying in or near the Miami area, an upcoming event that may interest travelers is Miami Spice 2025, running from August 1st to September 30th. With our rental reservation form, you can easily book a week or month long golf cart rental, or even just a weekend with our 3-day package.

Miami Spice 2025

Across Miami and Miami beach are dozens of restaurants participating in Miami Spice 2025, with specially curated prix fixe (price-fixed) multi-course menus typically ranging from $35 for lunch, and $45 to $60 for dinner. With so many different restaurants, there truly is something for everyone, including a variety of international foods from places such as Piegari, an Italian resturant, La Boulangerie Bou’Mich, a French cafe, Kaori, a Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant, Arcano, with Cuban-American dishes, and many more.

Golf Cart Rental

Our 4 passenger and 6 passenger golf carts are one of our most popular rental options, with features such as headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, horn, seat belts, and more. Customers also enjoy the fact that most of these carts have rear seats that flip over and create a flat surface to carry materials such as suitcases or beach equipment. Our most commonly rented carts are our standard and lifted 4 passenger and 6 passenger models. If you’re looking to make your rental experience truly unforgettable, you can also reserve one of our specialty golf carts, like the California Roadster or 39 Roadster, but act fast – rentals fill up quickly.

Yamaha Golf Cart | Yamaha Drive | Yamaha G Series

Posted on July 9, 2025July 8, 2025 by Lars

Just like the Club Car and EZGO, the Yamaha golf cart is one of the most common and popular brands of standard golf cart. There are a variety of different types of Yamaha carts, many of which we have available for sale and for rental. Some models include the G series (G1-G28), the Drive G29, and the Drive 2. The difference between these models, other than their appearance and some features, is the years they were released: The G series spans from 1985 to 2007, the Drive G29 was made from 2007 to 2016, and the Drive 2 was released in 2017 and continues today. Below is some more information about these different cart models, along with some pictures of some from our fleet.

Yamaha Golf Cart

Yamaha G Series (G1-G22)

Older models in Yamaha’s G series, such as the G1, G9, and G11, have a more square body shape, with some drivers preferring to have no roof. Later models like the G14, G19, and G22, have a shape closer to carts made in the present day, with a more rounded hood and slight differences in body measurements – such as the G22 having wider seats and a rounded roof. As older carts, these have more basic features and don’t immediately come with front headlights, and many of the G series models are available in both gas and electric.

yamaha golf cart, yamaha drive, yamaha g series

Yamaha Drive G29

As a more modern design, the Yamaha Drive G29 has a sleeker look and a digital fuel gauge. On the dashboard, there’s also a battery indicator on electric models, and has the capability to allow for installation of two USB charging ports. Electric models use a high performance AC motor, while the gas carts have a 357cc low-emission single cylinder engine with electronic fuel injection, built by Yamaha. The gas models can reach a speed of around 15mph, while the electric carts can travel approximately 19mph. The body is made of molded plastic, and has several color options available.

Yamaha Drive 2

As the most recent model, the Yamaha Drive 2 has more advanced technology and upgraded features, with an automotive-style dash, a wider wheelbase, and a variety of different customization options, including allowing for the installation of a USB charging port, self-canceling turn signals, an enhanced audio experience with a JBL sound system, and a color coded speedometer. Seats are also wide and adjustable for various heights, and the cabin has a large amount of legroom. Its independent rear suspension provides a smooth ride, even on uneven terrain. Like all Yamaha carts, gas and electric versions are available.

EZGO Golf Cart | EZGO RXV | EZGO TXT | EZGO Parts

Posted on June 9, 2025December 1, 2025 by Lars

Along with Club Car, the EZGO golf cart is another widely recognized brand of golf cart, available in a variety of sizes including utility carts with a box bed or flatbed. The most common types of EZGO cart include the EZGO RXV and EZGO TXT. The main difference between the RXV and TXT is their age – the RXV is the more modern version of the TXT, with more upgraded features and better performance and technology. EZGO introduced the TXT in the 1990s, while the RXV was introduced in 2008. Below is some more information about both types of golf cart, and why one may be preferred over the other.


EZGO RXV	EZGO TXT

EZGO RXV Golf Cart

Introduced in 2008, the EZGO RXV offers more modern features, with a more rounded, streamlined look to its body, giving it more customization options. Like most golf carts, the RXV comes with a lead-acid battery system, but does also include the option for a lithium battery. Its AC motor increases its powertrain by enhancing its efficiency and torque, and its fly-by-wire braking system could potentially reduce wear on other mechanical components. However, with more features and more technology, it could also lead to more maintenance being required.

ezgo golf cart, ezgo rxv, ezgo txt, ezgo parts

EZGO TXT

Like the RXV, the TXT can also have a lead-acid or lithium battery system, with a traditional DC motor, but as the older models, gas carts are more common than their modern counterparts. Their body is more simple and traditional, with less customization options, but its simpler features are preferred for some drivers, as it can require less maintenance. For drivers who like the more traditional yet reliable approach, the TXT is the cart of choice.

EZGO Parts

At Prime Cart Parts, our golf cart parts and accessories online store, we have dozens of parts available for a variety of golf cart brands, including EZGO parts.

Club Car Golf Cart | Club Car Precedent | Club Car Tempo

Posted on May 5, 2025May 2, 2025 by Lars

One of the most common golf cart brands is the Club Car golf cart, coming in a variety of sizes including 4 passenger and 6 passenger. There are several different models with different body styles and varying specifications, including the Club Car Tempo and Club Car Precedent. These carts are similar, and some parts like seats can be used for either, but the Tempo is a more modern version of the Precedent, with upgraded technology, battery configurations, and a different front body cowl.


Club Car Precedent	Club Car Tempo

For any purchase inquiries or general questions, use our contact page to get in touch with us.

ELECTRIC AND GAS AVAILABLE

Most Club Car golf carts are electric, especially ones we have for sale and for rental, as they are faster, quieter, and better for the environment. Club Car even has a special, high frequency charger known as E.R.I.C. – efficient, reliable, intelligent, and connected. This charger has status lights and various alerts that can tell drivers that the cart is charging, the state of the charge cycle, and any faults. It also shuts off when the batteries are fully charged, but will continue to monitor the battery pack and deliver power as needed. However, some drivers prefer gas golf carts, especially if they are using them in areas where an outlet isn’t readily available, such as a campground or construction site. Gas Club Car carts can typically travel about 12-15mph, while electric carts can reach speeds of around 16-20mph.

Fully charged golf cart batteries can travel approximately 20-25 miles on a charge, and for carts with a lithium battery upgrade, this range is greatly increased. A Club Car golf cart with a lithium battery can travel from between 40 to 80 miles on a charge, depending on the size and brand of lithium battery installed. At our golf cart parts and accessories site, Prime Cart Parts, we sell various lithium batteries that can be installed by one of our technicians – use our contact page to get in touch with us about service -, along with other parts for Club Car carts.

Club Car Golf Cart

Club Car Precedent

The Club Car Precedent is built with an aluminum frame, which is not only lightweight and durable, but also does not rust. Its responsive steering system allows for easy driving in any application, whether it be on the golf course, residential roads, or parking lots and campuses for security. The electric motor in this cart is also equipped to drive uphill and over uneven terrain without compromising energy efficiency. A variety of accessory options are available, such as enclosures, cooling fans, and storage compartments.

Club Car Tempo

As the more modern version of the Precedent, the Club Car Tempo has similar features, with some newer technologies such as USB ports and StopSmart, which gradually slows the cart in the event of a power failure. The Tempo also has an automatic electronic parking brake, as well as responsive mechanical braking. They have a rust-proof aluminum frame, along with molded-in color bodies, giving them their incredible durability. Like the Precedent, the Tempo also has various accessories available for sale, including enclosures, cabin cooling fans, and Bluetooth soundbars.

At our golf cart parts and accessories online store, Prime Cart Parts, we have a variety of lithium battery options available, from BSLBATT, to Allied, to ProVolt. Our newest addition is the Clouds Power lithium battery, available for both 36V and 48V golf carts.

Electric Car Maintenance | Annual Service | Multi-Point Inspection

Posted on April 21, 2025April 21, 2025 by Lars

Annual service is an important part of owning any car, and although electric vehicles require less maintenance than standard gas powered vehicles, electric car maintenance is still an essential part of EV ownership. Even if there are no obvious issues with your vehicle, periodic inspection is still a must, as our technicians can pinpoint if a component is close to failing or wearing out, or if any tires need to be changed or aligned, among many others. An inspection is also highly recommended before any long drive.

electric car maintenance, annual service, multi-point inspection

Below is a list of some of our inspections and maintenance that we perform when your car is brought in for annual service. Our electric car repair page at Aberdeen EV Repair also goes into more detail about specific services we provide.

Electric Car Maintenance Multi-Point Inspection

When going over your electric vehicle’s components, we provide a variety of basic maintenance tasks necessary to proper function. This includes fluid checks and replacements, such as changing hydraulic brake fluid, checking the transmission fluid in the drive unit, and refilling windshield wiper fluid if needed. We can also change wiper blades, as well as cabin filters, and even very simple tasks like changing key fob batteries.

Tire Services and 4-Wheel Alignment

When driving, the alignment of your wheels slowly shifts and becomes uneven over time. Other minor accidents, such as fender benders and hitting potholes or curbs, along with off-roading or aggressive driving, can worsen misaligned wheels. A sign that your wheels are misaligned is, when letting go of the steering wheel, the vehicle pulls instantly to the left or right. Over time, this worsens, and with all the effort required to keep the car straight, your tires will become worn faster than normal, and more unevenly, and more energy is used. Our team of technicians is ready to get your electric vehicle’s wheels straightened out for a smoother and more energy efficient ride.

We can also inspect and service your tires – our team can give you an honest and informed decision on whether or not you need a new set of tires, single replacements, or tire/rim maintenance and repair without any replacements.

HVAC System

The HVAC system is responsible for heating and cooling of your vehicle, and in south Florida, a working air conditioner is a must. Signs that your AC unit may need maintenance include damp and/or weaker air currents, unusually loud sounds, and and increase of charging time with a decreased charging rate. If your vehicle is displaying any of these signs, it’s important to bring it in for service before the problem gets worse, leading to more expensive repairs down the line.

Suspension Inspection

Worn suspension can cause a variety of issues, including causing wheels to become misaligned much faster than normal, a rougher driving experience – which could lead to increased wear and more frequent maintenance -, and decreased durability and lifespan. If your suspension is not in good condition, it can create various different issues down the line for your vehicle. Our maintenance team will inspect and diagnose any issues, and give you the best price quote for any repairs needed.

Other Electric Car Maintenance Services

Don’t see the service your vehicle needs? We may still be able to assist. Use our contact page to get in touch with us to find out if we can perform the service you need on your electric vehicle.

Benefits of Electric Cars | EV Advantages | Electric Vehicles

Posted on April 14, 2025April 21, 2025 by Lars

As referenced in our last blog, we’ve recently begun performing electric car repairs at our service location, along with our golf cart repairs. These repairs include simple fixes like software maintenance and body panel repairs, to more complex services such as charging system and suspension and brake repairs. There are a variety of benefits of electric cars that have made hundreds of thousands of drivers in the United States switch from standard gas cars to fully electric vehicles. While they have a higher purchase cost when bought new, the advantages that come with make it a cost effective decision over time. Electric cars have lithium batteries, which are designed to last approximately 10 to 20 years, or 100,000 to 200,000 miles, compared to a standard car battery, which on average lasts between 3 to 5 years.

benefits of electric cars, ev advantages, electric vehicles

Below is a list of just a few of the advantages that come with electric car ownership.

Benefits of Electric Cars

Environmental Benefits

One of the most common discussions on the benefits of electric cars comes down to the fact that they are simply better for the environment, and help reduce carbon footprint. Electric cars give off zero tailpipe emissions, reducing greenhouse gases in the air – a must have for heavily populated and polluted cities. In some large cities where there are more cars than people, sometimes the smog gets so bad that it affects day-to-day life. By switching to an electric car, drivers can contribute to reducing the air pollution, thereby improving the lives of millions. Plus, the fossil fuels that standard cars run on are non-renewable resources, meaning they’ll eventually run out. Electricity is a renewable resource, and will never disappear completely.

Lower Running Costs

Another common discussion point about EV advantages is the savings on gas. With gas prices rising all over the United States, electric cars are becoming more and more common for the savings they provide on gas. The convenience factor of plugging in a car is also a contributing factor, as anyone can hook up a charger at home, or plug into an increasingly common charging station in a parking lot or at a gas station.

Lower Maintenance Costs

As stated on our electric car service page at Aberdeen EV Repair, electric vehicles need less service than standard cars. Though they still do require maintenance, it’s less frequent, and many parts of electric cars can last upwards of 10 years without needing to be replaced, like their lithium batteries.

Instant Acceleration

Many electric cars can reach 0-60 mph in 2 to 4 seconds. Their motors also provide instant torque and acceleration.

Possible Government Incentives

Some electric vehicle owners may be eligible for government incentives, like rebates and tax credits.

Special Accesses

Some electric cars are allowed to use HOV lanes on the highway, along with designated parking spots in various areas. This way, drivers can plug in while shopping, and get a good increase of mileage.
