Who it's for
Wherever people rent carts to get around a place, Axons Mobility runs the rentals, the carts and the money.
How it works
From the guest's first tap to the receipt, in four steps.
They scan the code on the cart in your app, or tap their NFC key card on the cart's reader.
An ID check with a selfie takes about a minute, and a refundable deposit is held on their card.
You see the cart live on your map. Near a boundary the cart warns, slows down or stops, as you set.
The app shows the nearest parking zone and any fee first, then takes a photo and sends an itemised receipt.

Keyless access
Guests, residents and staff start a rental with your app or a key card, and your team can unlock any cart from the console.
Keep carts in bounds
Draw your property, the streets carts may use and the places they must not go. The platform acts on its own when a cart crosses a line.
Pricing and payments
Hourly walk-ups, day rentals, resident memberships or rides included in a stay — all set in the console, paid into your own Stripe account.
Carts and charging
A cart that is flat or broken earns nothing. The console shows which carts need a charger or a technician before a guest finds out.
Damage and safety
When a guest says a charge is wrong or a cart comes back damaged, you have the route, the photo and how the cart was driven.
Run the business
Rent carts at one site or many. Each location is its own fleet, and staff see only the carts they look after.
Try it on your own carts
We set up a private fleet for you, you connect a few carts, and your team and test guests rent them for real. No setup fee and no long contract when you decide to stay.

FAQ
Golf cart rental software runs a cart rental business from end to end: it lets customers unlock and pay for carts, tracks where every cart is, keeps carts inside allowed areas, and gives staff tools for charging, repairs, pricing and accounting. Axons Mobility does this with a branded rider app, an operator console and a connected device on each cart.
With zones drawn on a map and a connected device on each cart. In Axons Mobility, when a cart nears or crosses a boundary it can warn the driver, slow the cart, sound an alarm or cut motor power after a grace period, and every breach can be replayed afterwards.
Yes. Axons Mobility supports NFC key cards: you enroll a card by tapping it on the cart's reader, choose which carts it opens, and a tap starts or ends the rental. Guests who prefer their phone can use your app instead.
Most rental businesses combine an hourly price with a daily cap, day passes for visitors and memberships for residents. Axons Mobility supports all of these, plus surge at peak times, promos for quiet days and a refundable deposit that is held on the card, not charged.
Yes. Each vehicle type sets how its battery is shown — as voltage, percent or bars — using the pack's own minimum and maximum voltage, so a 48 V cart reads true. Low-battery alerts tell your team which carts to charge.
Axons Mobility costs $8 per cart per month with every feature included, a $199 monthly minimum and no setup fee. Connected devices are quoted per order, and you can try it free for 15 days on your own carts.
We set up a private fleet for you. Connect a few carts, set your zones and prices, and rent them to your team and test guests before you pay anything.
