Golf buggy hire around Newport

Newport lies at the heart of the Isle of Wight where the River Medina turns tidal, the island's county town and the meeting point of its main roads. The land is low by the river and rises to the chalk downs on either side, and Carisbrooke Castle stands on its steep hill above the town, so the settings sit on the valley floor or up on the slopes with the castle mound a genuine climb.

Carisbrooke Castle, the Norman fortress where Charles I was held before his execution, is the town's great setting, its keep and curtain walls spread across a high motte. Newport Roman Villa, the Quay Arts centre on the Medina, and Parkhurst Forest to the north-west add cultural and open-air occasions across the island's middle.

The A3054 crosses the island east to west through the town and the A3020 runs north to Cowes and south to the shore, and the settings ring the county town: Carisbrooke and Gunville west under the castle, Shide and Blackwater south up the Medina, Wootton and Havenstreet east towards the steam railway. Everything here is reached across the Solent by ferry.

We deliver the buggies charged, run through the controls with whoever is driving, and collect them when the event finishes.

Delivery to Newport

We deliver to Newport from our Bracknell depot, about 80 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 Newport 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 golf buggy

  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.

• Moving less mobile visitors up the steep motte towards Carisbrooke Castle.
