Golf buggy hire in Ripley

Golf buggy hire in Ripley covers a village built along the old coaching road with a substantial green at its heart. Village events, cricket and the Wey Navigation behind it all put parking on the street and the activity some distance in, which is where a buggy earns its keep.

Golf buggy hire around Ripley

Ripley is strung along the old Portsmouth road between Guildford and Cobham, with a long high street of brick and timber and one of the larger village greens in Surrey behind it. The green carries cricket through the summer and the village's events through the year. The Wey Navigation, one of the earliest artificial waterways in the country, runs along the edge of the parish, and RHS Wisley is barely two miles north.

Village green events have a consistent shape. There is no car park, so parking is on the street or in a field, and everything from the beer tent to the PA to the first-aid point has to be carried across grass to reach the site. A utility buggy does that job in a fraction of the time and without a van's ruts across the outfield, which matters when the cricket club has to play on it next week.

The green is level and mown, which is good going in dry weather, and heavy after a wet spell like any grass. The towpath along the Navigation is firm but narrow. Ripley is close to the depot, and being on the A3 corridor makes delivery straightforward even on a short hire.

Delivery to Ripley

We deliver to Ripley from our Bracknell depot, about 25 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 Ripley 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 Ripley

• Village green fairs and fetes moving equipment from street parking onto the site.
• Cricket and sports events where kit and refreshments cross the outfield.
• Towpath and waterway events on the firm made surface.
• Private garden events along the high street where access is tight for a van.

Questions about hire in Ripley

Will a buggy damage a cricket outfield

Far less than the van it replaces, which is usually why clubs ask. A buggy is light and narrow, and on dry mown grass it leaves very little. On saturated ground nothing should be driven across an outfield, and we will say so rather than take the booking.

Can you deliver for a one-day village event

Yes. Single-day and weekend hire is common for exactly this kind of event, delivered in the morning or the day before and collected after. Ripley is close enough to the depot that the delivery cost stays sensible on a short hire.

How far is Ripley from your depot

A short run east along the A3 corridor from our Bracknell depot, and that distance is shown as its own line on the quote.

Do you cover Wisley, Send and East Horsley as well

Yes. All are within a couple of miles of Ripley and fall in the same delivery run, priced on the road distance to the venue.
