Golf buggy hire in Dunstable

Golf buggy hire in Dunstable covers the town below the Chiltern escarpment. Dunstable Downs give several hundred acres of open chalk grassland with a gliding club on the top, and the events held there park in fields at the edge.

Golf buggy hire around Dunstable

Dunstable stands where Watling Street crosses the Icknield Way, below the chalk escarpment at the northern end of the Chilterns. Dunstable Downs above the town run to several hundred acres of open chalk grassland in National Trust care, with the London Gliding Club at the foot of the scarp since the 1930s and Whipsnade on the ridge a couple of miles south.

Two kinds of work sit here. The gliding club is an airfield operation: a large grass field where gliders, launch equipment and retrieve vehicles move constantly and distances between the launch point, the clubhouse and the far end of the field are considerable. The Downs above take kite festivals and outdoor events on open grass with parking in fields at the edge.

The downland top is open and largely level once you are on it, and chalk drains well though it goes greasy after rain. The escarpment itself is steep and outside what a buggy does. Airfield movement is the club's decision under their own rules, and Trust access is theirs. Dunstable is a run north from our depot.

Delivery to Dunstable

We deliver to Dunstable from our Bracknell depot, about 60 miles by road. Delivery is priced on that distance and shown as its own line on your quote, separate from the hire, so you can see exactly what each part costs.

We bring the buggies on a trailer, set them up at the venue, show your team how they work, and collect them at the end of the hire. Nobody needs to tow anything or collect anything themselves.

Which buggies suit Dunstable venues

• 

  4 seater

  A 4 seater golf buggy carries a driver and three passengers, usually in two rows. It is a popular choice for weddings, small group transport and general venue use.

• 

  6 seater

  A 6 seater golf buggy carries a driver and five passengers. It is the usual choice once you are moving groups rather than individuals, and it is the smallest size that works properly as a shuttle.

• 

  8 seater

  An 8 seater golf buggy, sometimes called a people mover, carries a driver and seven passengers. It is the largest option we hire and is built for moving guests in numbers on a set route, rather than for general runabout use.

What buggies get used for around Dunstable

• Gliding clubs moving launch equipment and retrieve crews across a large field.
• Downland kite festivals and outdoor events with field parking at the edge.
• Open chalk grassland sites where access points are far apart.
• Level plateau ground where the escarpment itself is out of scope.

Questions about hire in Dunstable

Are buggies used at gliding clubs

They suit the ground well. A gliding field is large, flat and grass, with launch point, clubhouse and landing area a long way apart and equipment moving between them all day. Anything on the field runs under the club's own operating rules.

Can a buggy get up the escarpment

No. The Chiltern scarp here is steep chalk and outside what a golf buggy can do. Once on the plateau the going is open and largely level, which is where the vehicle works.
