How the break-even is calculated
- Total rent = carts × rent per month × months per year × years.
- Total ownership cost = carts × (purchase price + yearly running cost × years − resale value).
- Break-even month = purchase price ÷ (monthly rent − monthly running cost), counted in months of actual use and before resale value.
The calculator ignores financing costs, insurance and storage. Add them to the yearly running cost if they apply. Compare running costs in the running cost calculator and read what to look for in a quote in the price guide.
Frequently asked questions
What do Finns Auto rentals cost?
Finns Auto rentals start from AED 500 to AED 1,500 per day, depending on the model and availability (T&C apply). See golf cart rental. Multiply the day rate by your days of use for a monthly figure.
Is it cheaper to rent or buy golf carts?
Renting suits short projects and events. Buying usually works out cheaper when carts are needed for most of the year over several years. The calculator finds your break-even point from your own quotes.
What should I include in the cost of buying?
Purchase price, yearly servicing and battery replacement, and the resale value at the end. Also check warranty and free service terms. Finns Auto includes a 2-year warranty and 2 years of free service on every cart.
Where do I get the figures?
Use a written rental quote for the monthly rate and an itemised purchase quote for the price. Our price guide lists what to send for an accurate quote.
What is the break-even point?
It is the month when the total you would have paid in rent equals the total cost of owning: purchase price plus running costs, less resale value. Beyond that month, owning costs less.
