Cushman Ownership Costs
Cushman is one of the stronger brands for holding resale value. On average, Cushman golf carts retain 5% more value than a typical golf cart, which means lower net ownership costs. This strong resale value helps offset the higher initial purchase price.
The biggest factors affecting your Cushman's total ownership cost are power type (electric vs gas), battery type, and how heavily you use it. Electric Cushman carts typically save $300-$1,000 per year compared to gas models on fuel and maintenance alone.
