Experience Unparalleled Convenience with Golf Cart Rentals!
Put-in-Bay Golf Cart Rentals offer more than just a unique novelty. They provide the utmost convenience for navigating the island efficiently. Although Put-in-Bay may be geographically small, it’s still too vast to explore entirely on foot.

What about Put-in-Bay Taxis? Well, they can be unreliable and are primarily used for transportation between downtown and outlying rentals—a situation you’d ideally want to avoid. If you genuinely wish to explore and make the most of your time on the island, relying on cabs to take you from place to place will only waste precious time.

Equipped with headlights, taillights, turn signals, and the ability to operate day and night, golf carts are the perfect means of transportation.
One piece of advice: reserve your golf cart in advance if you’re arriving on the island during weekends from April to October or weekdays from May to the end of September! During the busy season, Put-in-Bay Golf Car Rentals sell out daily!
