Turnkey Golf Cart Rental & Beach Rental Business with Retail Store

Price: $1,260,000

Location: Charleston County, SC

Industry: Equipment Rental and Dealers

Listing ID: 2388486

Listing Status: Under Contract

Description

Established and growing turnkey rental business located in one of South Carolina’s most desirable coastal destinations. This business specializes in street-legal golf cart rentals and other beach equipment, serving both vacationers and residents in a high-traffic island market. Operating from a central storefront location with strong walk-in visibility, the business also offers online booking and direct delivery services for added convenience.

The company has experienced significant year-over-year growth, including a dramatic increase in bookings through the first half of 2025. Its fleet consists of a large number of fully compliant low-speed vehicles (LSVs), along with all necessary towing equipment, retail fixtures, and inventory. A full-time manager runs day-to-day operations, supported by part-time staff, making this a true mostly-absentee opportunity.

Multiple recurring revenue streams are already in place, including agreements with vacation homeowners and property management companies. The business is also in active discussions with additional rental firms seeking to shift from national vendors to a more responsive local partner, offering excellent upside for continued expansion.

The retail space includes a high-visibility storefront and favorable long-term lease options. Additional storage and parking agreements are structured seasonally to support fleet scaling while keeping overhead efficient.

This is an ideal opportunity for a buyer seeking a profitable, asset-backed business with strong local branding, recurring customers, and ample room to grow.

Summary

Facilities Information:

The business operates from a centrally located, high-visibility retail storefront with favorable lease terms. Seasonal storage and off-site parking arrangements allow for scalable operations without heavy fixed overhead.

Terms and Conditions?:

Assets include a well-maintained fleet of rental vehicles, towing equipment, retail fixtures, and inventory. All equipment (other than transport vehicles) is included in the sale and will transfer with outright ownership (no debt), making this truly turnkey.

Reason For Sale:

Owner is shifting full focus to another, larger business

Training & Support:

The seller is committed to ensuring a smooth transition and will provide training to the new owner. This includes support with operations, systems, vendor relationships, and staffing. Terms of training are flexible and can be tailored to the buyer’s experience and needs.

Competition:

This business operates in a high-demand coastal market with consistent seasonal traffic. While other providers exist, few offer the same combination of local presence, owned fleet, and established reputation. Regulatory compliance requirements limit new entrants and favor experienced, professional operators. The business’s brand and service quality help it stand out in a fragmented market.

Potential Growth:

The business has significant room to grow through expanded partnerships with rental property managers, geographic reach into nearby coastal communities, and additional retail or e-commerce offerings. Marketing efforts have been minimal to date, leaving upside for a buyer to increase visibility and off-season bookings with digital advertising and strategic outreach.

Financing/Terms:

Cash preferred; a small amount of owner financing may be available.
