Can I rent an 8-seater (8-passenger) golf cart in Sarasota?
Yes. 5 eight-seat golf carts are listed in Sarasota on CartBooker today. Use the 8-seater filter on this page to see them; a group of more than eight usually books two smaller carts.
Should I book a 4-seater or a 6-seater in Sarasota?
Count the people who will ride at the same time. A 4-seater carries four including the driver; a 6-seater carries six. Sarasota lists 13 four-seat and 5 six-seat carts, so both sizes are easy to compare here, and a 6-seater is normally cheaper than two 4-seaters for a group of five or six.
