Four-Passenger vs. Six-Passenger Golf Carts: Which Is Right for You?

· 6 min read

Six passenger golf cart with three rows of seats in Los Sueños, Costa Rica

Start with how your group moves

The right cart size depends less on how many people are in your group and more on how often everyone travels together. A family of six that does everything together has different needs from six friends who split up for golf, fishing and the beach. Think through a typical day before choosing.

When a four-passenger cart is enough

Four passenger golf cart rental at Los Sueños Resort Costa Rica

Four seats cover most visits: a couple, a family with two children, or four golfers heading to the clubhouse. Four-seat carts are easier to park at busy spots like the marina village and beach club, and they are our standard rental, so availability is generally better. See the 4 passenger golf cart rental page.

When six seats make sense

Choose a six-passenger cart if five or six people regularly need to ride at the same time — for example, a multi-generation family heading to dinner together, or parents with four kids. Because six-seat carts are subject to availability, request one as early as possible and wait for confirmation before relying on it. See 6 passenger golf cart rental.

The two-cart option

For groups of five to eight, two four-passenger carts are often the most practical choice. Part of the group can go fishing while others head to the pool, and nobody waits around. Two carts also give you a backup if one person wants to leave dinner early. You can request two carts in the availability form by choosing the number of carts.

Price considerations

Our published starting rate is $64.99 per day for a four-passenger cart. Six-passenger pricing is quoted when you send your dates. Multi-day discounts are available on rentals, so longer stays generally bring the effective daily cost down. See How Much Does a Golf Cart Rental Cost? for more.
