When a facility leases its golf cars, what happens to their control over the fleet?

When a facility leases its golf cars, it typically retains some control over the fleet, but not all. Leasing arrangements often involve specific agreements that outline the responsibilities and rights of both the lessor (the organization providing the lease) and the lessee (the facility leasing the cars). While the leased cars remain the property of the lessor, the facility generally has the ability to dictate how those cars are used, such as the maintenance, scheduling, and operations within their venue.

However, due to the nature of a lease, the facility may have limitations imposed by the leasing agreement. This might include restrictions on modifications to the vehicles, obligations to follow specific maintenance schedules, or compliance with service standards set by the lessor. As a result, while the facility can operate the cars and manage them during the lease period, they are not completely autonomous in their decision-making regarding the fleet due to these external constraints.

This understanding positions the lessee to have partial control, acknowledging the practical implications of leasing while recognizing that full autonomy is compromised by the terms of the arrangement.
