    VRBO - who uses it? Is is hard to set up?

    Paula, I think the very smart thing you are doing is having the VRBO calls come to you. The obvious mistake, in hindsight, we made was directing the VRBO ad calls directly to the rental company. We are down at the beach about 50% of the time as we are retired and our rental unit is a...

    Golf Cart rental

    Smiling Joe, I believe you are incorrect. LSVs have to be built from the ground up with a beefed up chassis that meets a certain level of crash resistance, impact resistant bumpers, high quality brakes, and a substantial steering system to be used on the road. They must be capable of going...
