The battery, the wheels and the options change the figure enough that a headline price would be wrong for most buyers, so we price the vehicle you actually want, delivery included.

About the 4 Seater Sightseeing Buggy
Where a golf buggy has a canopy on posts, this has a body: a hard roof on a steel chassis, a windscreen with wipers, four wheel hydraulic brakes and proper suspension. It is built to carry paying visitors rather than golfers, and it feels like it.
The manufacturer states four to six seats depending on the layout ordered, and 87 km on a charge, which is the longest range of the smaller sightseeing vehicles. At 3.38 m it is short enough for a garden route rather than only an estate road.
Where a sightseeing body earns its keep
- Gardens, parks and heritage sites running short paid tours
- Vineyards and distilleries where visitors expect a proper vehicle rather than a buggy
- Zoos and attractions running a fixed loop in most weathers
- Hotels wanting an enclosed roof over guests without going up to a bus
What it will not do
- Seating is stated as a range, four to six, because it depends on the bench layout ordered. Tell us the number you need and we will confirm the configuration before you commit.
- It is 150 mm of ground clearance on road tyres. This is a made-surface vehicle: paths, drives and tarmac, not fields.
- The roof is hard but the sides are open. It keeps rain off heads, not off passengers in a crosswind, and there is no heating.
- Not road legal. Like everything except the road legal buggy, it is private land only.

Questions about the 4 Seater Sightseeing Buggy
- How many people does it actually seat?
- The manufacturer states four to six, depending on the bench layout ordered. We confirm the exact configuration with them before you commit rather than quote a number that turns out to be the other one.
- What is the difference between this and a golf buggy?
- A body rather than a canopy on posts: a hard roof on a steel chassis, a windscreen with wipers, four wheel hydraulic brakes and MacPherson strut suspension. It is built for carrying visitors, and it rides and stops like it.
- Will it keep passengers dry?
- The roof keeps rain off heads. The sides are open, so a crosswind still reaches people, and there is no heating. Weather curtains are an option worth specifying for year round use.
- How much does it cost?
- We price to specification rather than publish a figure. Tell us the seating layout and the route and we will quote the vehicle, the delivery and the lead time together.

Not sure whether to buy or hire
As a rule, buying wins if you would use it more than a few weeks a year or need it available without arranging anything. Below that, hiring usually costs less and takes the maintenance off you. The calculator works it through on your own numbers rather than ours.
