Are your parents senior citizens? Maybe they live in a retirement community. If they are or if they do, consider giving them a golf car. It will improve their life in so many ways, and, if you feel it is time for Mom or Dad to put away the car keys, it will also give you peace of mind.

Golf cars are affordable to buy and affordable to drive. In fact, senior golfers and their spouses have finally realized that they can not only traverse the golf course with their golf car, but also stop at the bank, grocery store or a restaurant without paying a dime for gas! Some older couples find they can get by with one car and one golf car, instead of two cars. Golf cars have become so popular that many retirement communities have even made themselves more accommodating to golf car owners by converting their communities into cart-friendly communities, where everything is accessible by golf car!

Besides being affordable, golf cars are fun to drive. When you drive in the open air, you have more ability to observe and enjoy your surroundings and interact with people as you go. In some ways, they are like having a big toy, and the options and accessories available today are seemingly limitless! They can be equipped with coolers, radios, plush carpeting, cushy seats and more.

Electric golf cars are environmentally friendly, and they are safe. Golf car owners can maintain their independence without having to deal with heavy traffic or driving at higher speeds, and when they take their foot off the accelerator, the golf car instantly stops. No need for braking. Most go around 15-20 mph, so they are easy to maneuver. They are also very easy to park.
