How to Store a Golf Cart

Properly storing your golf cart protects your investment and ensures it’s ready to perform when you need it again. Public Storage offers secure, convenient spaces to help you protect your investment year-round. With a few simple steps, you can prepare your cart for safe, worry-free off-season.

Clean and Prepare Your Golf Cart

Before placing your golf cart in storage, take time to clean it thoroughly. Remove dirt and moisture from all surfaces to prevent rust and wear. Check for loose parts, worn tires, or battery corrosion. Preparing your cart before you store it helps ensure it stays in great condition while it’s parked away.

Why Choose Public Storage for Golf Cart Storage?

With gated access, well-lit facilities, and month-to-month rentals, you can store your golf cart on your schedule and retrieve it when you’re ready. Many locations offer drive-up units and outdoor parking, making it easy to load and unload without hassle.

Whether you need short-term protection between golf seasons or long-term storage for your vehicle, Public Storage locations across the country make it simple to find a space that fits your needs.

Protect Mechanical Parts

Gas-powered carts should have the fuel stabilized or drained to avoid damage. Inflate tires to the recommended pressure and lubricate moving parts to prevent sticking. Taking these small steps before storing helps your golf cart start smoothly later.

How Should You Store Your Golf Cart Inside a Unit?

When placing your cart in a Public Storage unit, choose a space large enough to allow airflow around it. Cover the golf cart with a breathable, weather-resistant cover to keep dust and moisture out. Avoid placing heavy items on or around the cart to protect its body and frame. Leave the forward or reverse in neutral to put less stress on the cart. Use bricks to keep the cart in place so it doesn’t move.

If your unit has electrical access, use a battery maintainer occasionally to keep the charge level steady. Even in outdoor spaces, using a high-quality cover helps shield your cart from the elements while it’s parked securely within the gated property. Loose or spare batteries cannot be stored separately inside the unit.

Check on Your Cart During Storage

Visit your storage unit periodically to make sure your golf cart stays in good condition. Check tire pressure, inspect the cover, and confirm that the battery remains properly charged. Regular check-ins help prevent small issues from turning into larger repairs later.

Ready to Get Back on the Course

When it’s time to bring your golf cart out of storage, simply remove the cover, reconnect the battery, and perform a quick inspection before use. Storing at Public Storage means your cart will be just as ready for the next tee time as you are.

Features and amenities vary by location, facility, and unit. “Climate-controlled” and related terms (such as air-conditioned, heated, or humidistat-equipped) describe storage spaces designed to help maintain more consistent temperature or humidity levels compared to non-climate-controlled units. Public Storage does not guarantee temperature or humidity ranges. Availability, features, and unit types may differ by location, facility, and unit. Please confirm with your facility whether specific climate-controlled features are available on units at that location.
