Automated Golf Cart Rentals at Campgrounds and Resorts with Joyride
Jan 30, 2026Discover how Joyride is revolutionizing golf cart rentals at hospitality properties with keyless, trackable, self-service technology! Join Matt White as he interviews Rob McPherson from Joyride and Michael Fazio from Lake Erie Golf Cars to explore this game-changing platform.
What is Joyride?
Joyride builds connected hardware and mobile app technology to make golf carts trackable, keyless, and rentable through a simple app - just like scooters and e-bikes, but for golf carts at resorts, campgrounds, RV parks, marinas, and planned communities.
The Revenue Opportunity:
Golf carts rent for $100+/day. A fleet of just 10 carts rented 10 days per month generates $10,000 in monthly revenue with minimal staff involvement.
How It Works:
- Customer scans QR code on cart
- Downloads app and completes registration (payment, waiver, ID)
- Selects rental duration
- App remotely turns cart on
- GPS geofencing keeps carts on property
- Photo documentation at return
- Automated payment processing
Key Features:
- Completely self-service
- No keys or paper waivers to manage
- GPS tracking and geofencing
- Remote on/off control
- White label apps for properties
- Revii platform for nationwide access
Lake Erie Golf Cars Partnership:
Michael Fazio explains how they're selling "Joyride-ready" golf carts and extending the lifecycle of golf course lease returns by deploying rental fleets at scale across Ohio, Michigan, and West Virginia.
The Problem Joyride Solves:
Traditional rentals require managing keys, paper waivers, fleet tracking, and charge states - all requiring dedicated staff. Many properties skip rentals entirely due to these barriers.
The Solution:
Joyride automates customer onboarding and payment. Properties only handle cleaning and charging.
