BirdieCar electric golf cart at an event venue

What it's about

Let the vehicle work for you – even if you only need it for a weekend.

A festival lasts four days. A film shoot takes two weeks. An open-air event venue operates from May to September, then closes. In all three cases, buying is the wrong answer – renting, on the other hand, gives you exactly the capacity you need, for exactly as long as you need it.

The BirdieCar rental fleet is made up of the same vehicles we sell: electric golf carts with premium lithium-ion batteries, passenger shuttle buses and flatbed utility vehicles. They are backed by the same service centre and the same team – the only difference is that you rent them rather than own them.

Rental options

How long do you need the vehicle for?

Choose the option closest to your situation – we will carry it over to your quote request automatically.

Short-term rental – when the need is measured in days

A four-day festival, a weekend sporting event or a film shoot: the vehicle arrives on site, your team gets a short training session, and we take it away at the end of the rental. Daily billing, tailored to the type of vehicle and job – you don't have to deal with the technical back-up, charging or troubleshooting.

Every rental is priced individually: the fee depends on the vehicle type, the rental term, the number of vehicles and the location. That is why we do not give a list price but a specific, itemised quote – typically within one working day. The terms above are for information only; the final terms are set out in the rental agreement.

What the rental fee includes

We don't just hand over the vehicle.

What would be an extra cost and an extra headache with a fleet of your own is part of the rental fee with us.

Delivery and collection

We bring the vehicle to your site and collect it at the end of the rental. Within Budapest for a fixed fee; outside Budapest based on an individual calculation.

Maintenance and servicing

Scheduled maintenance and repairs during the rental are our job, backed by our own assembly workshop and service centre in Budapest, in operation since 2006.

Assistance and replacement vehicle

If a fault occurs, we take action: we arrange the on-site repair or the collection, and for longer rentals we provide a replacement vehicle.

Training for your team

At handover, we go through operation, charging and safety information with the colleagues who will actually be driving.

We handle the paperwork

Rental agreement, handover report, monthly invoice. For business rentals, the full fee can be accounted for as a business expense.

Extensions along the way

If the shoot overruns or the event lasts longer, we extend the rental – there is no need to sign a new contract.

How it works

From quote request to key handover.

  1. 01 — 1 working day

    Quote request

  4. 04 — during the rental

    Operation and collection

    Servicing, maintenance and assistance stay with us throughout. At the end of the rental, we collect the vehicle and settle the account.

Who it's for

For events and film shoots.

Renting pays off where you need the vehicle for a few days or a season, and not afterwards. If the cart would be working continuously all year round, buying works out better – and we usually tell you so when you request a quote.

Festivals and open-air events

Several vehicles for a few days, delivered to the site. Moving guests, crew and equipment around the grounds.

Sporting events and races

Passenger transport rented for a race weekend: between the track, the pits and the stands, without a noisy engine.

Trade fairs, exhibitions, conferences

Loading and unloading exhibitors' materials, moving visitors between pavilions and the car park – in enclosed halls, too.

Film and TV series production

Moving crew and equipment on location, billed daily. The electric drive doesn't interfere, even while recording.

Commercial and photo shoots

For short, packed shooting days: quick location changes, moving equipment and props with a flatbed vehicle.

Corporate and official events

Welcoming guests and transferring them from the car park to the venue – for a quiet, prestigious arrival.

Frequently asked questions

What would you like to know about renting?

Why are there no prices on the page?

Because a list price would be misleading. The rental fee is determined by the vehicle type, the rental term, the number of vehicles, the location and the task together – the best arrangement for the same cart is completely different for a four-day festival and for a six-month hotel season. That is why we prepare a specific, itemised quote for every enquiry, typically within one working day. So instead of a “from” price, you see the amount you will actually pay.

What if the vehicle I want is not available?

In that case, we suggest an alternative. The make-up of the rental fleet changes from week to week, and in the summer peak season the popular types are booked up quickly. If the model you asked for is already booked, we offer an equivalent vehicle instead – often one that suits the task better. It is not unusual for a customer to leave with a different type from the one they came for, and for that to turn out to be the better decision.

How do I know which vehicle I need for my task?

You don't need to know – that's why we ask. Write to us or tell us where, what for and for how many people you need the vehicle, what the terrain is like and how often it has to make the trip. You can leave the rest to our experience: we have been serving events, hotels, beaches and industrial sites since 2006, so we can tell you fairly precisely what will work at your location and what won't.

What are the shortest and longest rental periods?

You can rent a golf cart or a flatbed vehicle for as little as a single day. At the other end of the scale is long-term rental, where we can sign contracts for terms of up to 36 months. The most common option lies in between: seasonal rental, typically for 3–6 months, covering the opening period of a beach or a hotel.

Do you need a driving licence to drive the golf cart?

On enclosed private property – hotel, industrial site, golf course – a driving licence is generally not required, but we always recommend having a valid licence. For public-road use, please check the exact requirements with the relevant authorities.

Who pays for servicing and maintenance during the rental?

We do. Scheduled maintenance and repairs arising from normal use are part of the rental fee. Since 2006, BirdieCar has run its own service centre and assembly workshop in Budapest; when needed, we also come out to your site, and if a fault occurs, our Assistance service arranges collection as well.

Do you deliver the vehicle, or do I have to collect it?

We deliver it and collect it again at the end of the rental. Within Budapest, there is a fixed fee per vehicle for this, covering the round trip; for locations outside Budapest, we prepare an individual calculation based on the distance and the number of vehicles. Collection from our premises can, of course, also be arranged.

How far does it go on a single charge, and how is it charged?

Under average load, the lithium-ion battery delivers a range of up to 70 km, and a full charge from a standard household socket takes 4–5 hours. In practice, this means the vehicle works during the daily shift and recharges overnight – you do not need to install any separate charging infrastructure.

Can you provide several vehicles at once?

Yes. For events and larger sites, we regularly rent out groups of several vehicles, including mixed line-ups – for example, passenger carts together with flatbed vehicles. For larger numbers, it is worth letting us know as early as possible, as the fleet gets booked up quickly in the summer season.
