Hello Rusty , Just a quick follow up . Stayed overnight at the Brownwood Hotel and spent the day at the Villages on Monday and it was alot of fun (def not enough time) . Rented a golf cart and explored the area and met some very nice people , did some shopping and went to a square for the music. Reading about The Villages or watching CZcams videos doesn't do it justice you need to see it in person. Will probably do a lifestyle visit in the coming months to get a real feel. The GPS app was a huge help with the golf cart paths but boy those rentals are bare bones and not breaking any speed records , i was getting passed all the time. Had a great time and looking forward to coming back . Thanks for all the helpful info.
Rusty … The Villages needs to have a Mandatory Golf Cart Driving School /Clinic.

I like snow thank you for sharing.keep safe always sir..it's nice place
Thanks. Starts to get a little cold about now though...LOL
Thanks Rusty. Great job. Skip is the man.
Thanks Fred.
Appreciate your time and commitment to bring us great information!
My pleasure! And....thanks for watching. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H
Thanks Rusty for the great info! We are absorbing as much as we can before our visit the end of the month!
Good luck. Definitely a fun time. Hope the weather is good for you.
Awesome job. Also liked the cameo of Skip Smith and your explanation of all the things to know about golf carts. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks 👍 Not sure its all things but a start for those heading down for the first time.
Great - helpful information - never would have thought about the interim or gap insurance - thank you
Welcome. Not sure all the ins and outs but something to think about. May just have to have it added for a short time or not at all...maybe included?
Thanks, Rusty! Since I have never driven a golf cart, this is good to know. I like that there are classes. I have never played pickle ball. So, I’m interested to learn about that too. We are going to go for our Lifestyle visit next month. I’m getting more excited, the more videos I watch. Between you, Jerry & Linda, and Skip, I feel we will be prepared!
How exciting! I will be down the first week in March and then again in April. JUst make a list of the things you want to do and watch some the other vids that I put on there about information gathering. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3orJrgp
Exceptional explanation of the whole golf car world. Keep up the great work. Love the cameo by Skip Smith.
THanks again and yes Skip was fun to have on there. I'm sure we will all meet up in the future.
@@RustyNelson That would be awesome. I see police paddy wagons in our future. LOL
I'm going to set up a UBER in the villages....lol Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3orJrgp
These videos are great. For me since I’m not really into golf and swimming which are major activities and I’d be buying a smaller house for more money than my current larger house it just seems a bad idea for me to even think of the Villages. But i say go for it for those who want to be there and wish them well.
Hey Uncle...thanks for the note. And I hope all people go for it as they get older in years. Sometimes it just takes a little push to make that step. All the best and thanks for stopping in. Rusty
Thanks Rusty for the video..
You bet
Rusty, Thanks for the great info. Enjoyed all your posts.
Very welcome
Thanks for the safety and traffic info. Your videos are great. I'm thinking of moving down with my wife in the next year or so.
Glad to help. I'm sure I have a bunch more to learn...LOL
Good to see you posting again about The Villages.
More to come! Just takes bit to put them together. thanks for stopping by.
Thank you for all this info. The apps will be helpful for my visit in January!
the $7 app was definitely worth it.
Nicely done, enjoyed the ride along.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice video. I checked with USAA for golf cart insurance - its part of a homeowners Insurance policy. Because I will be renting in the Villages I cannot get it. Once I move to the villages I can get it. BTW if you are renting next winter - 2022 - and want a golf cart - the Villages golf carts are all reserved. How about a video on options to rent in the Villages? websites etc
You may want to check again... Check under rental and then check under non owned vehicle. I am not an insurance agent but just giving you an area to chek. I believe it is considered a rental car or what they call a non owned vehicle. It will be under a miscellaneous vehicle. Definition includes golf cart. Please...Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H
Hey Rusty - took your advice and did the lifestyle preview. Long story short--- I bought a place! Im giving you all the credit or the blame. Been buying furniture as I drive back to Gettysburg
Hey good for you John. I hope its all great for you. I like the Gettysburg area for sure. All the best and good luck my friend.
That is awesome, where
Where did you buy? Welcome back to the cold...LOL
@@RustyNelson Hawkins- mid January closing. Happy to share the process with you
@@johnzervas3787 I was just looking down there. That might be fun. I'll get in touch. Have a great New Year!
The husband just finished shoveling. Rusty, one day we should all meet to talk Villages. Take Care.
Sounds great! I'll be back down in April I think.
Great stuff on the golf cart lifestyle in TV
THanks...definitely a way of life down there.
Rusty, thanks so much for sharing information on getting around in a golf cart. I moved here just twelve days ago from Illinois and will pick up my golf cart in a few days. I'm new to driving a golf cart, and your video gave me some great tips on getting around. I was really happy to learn about the Village GPS app. I need the voice to tell me the directions! Great job on doing videos that are so informative. Merry Christmas!
Glad it helped. Good luck with your new cart. Did you get gas or electric?
@@RustyNelson I bought a gas cart. An electric cart is quieter but a gas cart offers more convenience, I bought a 2017 reconditioned golf cart. It was like buying something brand new since I got to choose the color, the valence, the seat and the tires, Then I added LED side lights and USB port. It was really a fun experience! The cart should be ready this week, and the GPS app definitely will give me more confidence in finding my way around.
@@lindamcdaniels4893 The GPS app was good for the cart. Interested to see what you think about the car. I always had problems with the car part...Golf cart side of the app was great.
@@RustyNelson I didn't realize the app had directions by car. I've been depending on Google maps to help me find my way, but I've still made wrong turns. Right now I'm happy that I know how to get to the grocery store, Lowe's, and Walgreens! Looking forward to getting the cart and using the app for directions.
Nice that the pay one...6.99 also has voice directions so you don't have to be looking at the app all the time.
Hey Rusty hope you are doing better from your bout with Covid. I noticed in some of the videos from your visit like when you were with Skip and when you were in the town square noticed you were not wearing mask you think you then caught it while in the villages? Also what is funny everytime I watch your videos or Skips of the Newcomers I get video commercials for the Shenandoah Valley Retirement community just about every time. They are trolling the Villages Videos
No idea where I got it. seems by timing it was on the way home. But no way to tell. The mask thing seems to be a personal thing for everybody I think. When I did the video we had lunch together and you very well could not eat and have a mask. Now sometime later people seem to be using them more. Strange thing was when I stopped at the truck to and from FL I was just about the only person with a mask on.
The Villages is basically Trump central, being that it’s full of aging boomers. I like the idea of the amenities The Villages offers, but in the end, I don’t think I’d fit in with the people that live there.
I had no idea till I went down there for a week. Tell you the truth there was not much politics discussed and I'm definitely social. If you are not a baby boomer you are correct. But that's the retirement age anyway? 1944 to 1964 if you are young it might be a little old for you.
Good idea to use Velcro!
I use the velcro in my truck and it works great. Just slap it up there. But that suction cup in the links work but the window seems to shake a bunch so something to think about.
Love your videos, Rusty. We moved to the Villages April 2019 from New Jersey ....... love it here!! Of course, Covid has changed our social life but it's slowly coming back!!
I can see that. I'll try and get back down in the next couple of months
Looking forward to your video on pickleball in The Villages. I’m a pickleball addict planning on moving to Florida and I’m trying to decide between the Villages or Naples.
I would choose the place you want to live. THen worry about pickle. plenty of game in either place. Maybe more high end tournaments in Naples if you are 5.o
Over 200 courts in TV. All levels but I hear Naples has lots of advanced play.
thanks rusty
More to come Keven. THanks for stopping by.
@@RustyNelson did you hear about new pickleball rules for 2021
Yes not to sure about the serve though. there are too many people that play that will have a hard time with undercutting the drop serve.
Great video! What I've learned about golf carts in the Villages: you probably will get lost at least once; someone or multiple people will be more than glad to help you on the way; drive defensively as some drivers are speed demons and have disabled the governor that is supposed to limit speed to 20 mph; its the most fun I've had in years!
All true I think. I stopped for about 2 minutes and two people stopped to see if I was OK. Left a good feeling.
Enjoyed this video. I'm looking forward to more in the future.
Thanks Carol
Great video. Tired of the snow in Philadelphia. Hope you are recovered fully from the COVID. Do you think you got it down there, on the way or on the way home? Kinda surprised nobody in The Villages on your lifestyle visit seemed to wear masks.
For the most part people were going by local rules. The great thing is you are free to not go if you don't like an area. When I went down the rate for FL was at about 7% and PA where I came from was 11%. Outside of the squares people wore masks as most of the areas I've traveled to at the time. Covid was like a bad cold. all done with it thanks. Lasted about a week. Rather have that then the normal flu that I had that's for sure.
Hi Rusty , I will be coming through and staying overnight at the Brownwood Hotel next week on my way over to Tampa . I will be wanting to rent a golf cart for the day to check things out and look around as much as possible . Is this something that i have to set up ahead of time at one of the Villages golf cart stores or can i just walk in and rent one and drive off with it for the day ? Any info would be helpful . Thank you.
Yes, I would call before. Call the one in Magnolia Plaza. I would also make sure you have the apps for GPS loaded up on your phone. That will help a bunch. Subscribe for new Videos: bit.ly/3aToJ3H
If you rent a place in the village do you have access to all the amenities that full timers do?
IF...you get a resident's pass. You need to get that from the landlord...check first. Also if you are doing a lifestyle from The Villages they will supply it for you. Subscribe Button: bit.ly/3aToJ3H
I have really enjoyed watching your videos, I am going on my visit in April.
I'm thinking of going back down in April also. But it will be a last minute thing if I do. Have fun.
Why not tell people that doctors in Florida are not required to carry malpractice insurance!
Miss diagnosed wife’s cancer two times ! After 16 years moved back to North East for real medical care .
Max amount allowed in malpractice lawsuit $750G lawyer gets 1/3
Sorry to hear about that. The reason I would not tell anybody about that is I'm talking about Golf Carts. Not sure how that fits in and not something I experienced...fortunately. Also I don't know if that is true...it was not part of my visit. With that said I guess you are better off then CA as they are limited to 250K.
Rusty, what is the current fee for a lifestyle visit for around a week? Thanks for the continued education.
You are welcome. Go to their website for the pricing as it changes. Thanks for stopping by.
@@RustyNelson Roughly (and I mean roughly) around $99 a night. Best deal in Florida IMHO.
Goes up in the prime season. JAn Feb MArch...then down for summer.
Check out the Villages Newcomers. They also have a great channel. Jerry and Linda.
Hey Rob thanks for the note. Yes I have checked them out. I even wrote to them when I went down there but never heard back from them. I did with Skip and met up with him. Not sure why but maybe I should get back to them or reach out. THanks for stopping by. Will get started again soon. Just made a move up here in Kennett.
Hi Rusty. Do you know if they have both gas and electric carts? If so, is there any advantage of one over the other? Thanks.
Sort of sure they are all gas for the lifestyle. but I'm sure you can rent electric if you needed to for some reason. Gas has a great range and I hardly used any the week I was there.
Gas and electric golf cars are available for purchase. I prefer gas given the size of our community but the electric car batteries are expanding in mileage before needing a charge. Gasoline is readily available all over the community but no charging stations for electric cars.
That seems to be a popular choice from what I could tell.
We live in KS and are moving down next year to the villages
I would think that is Kennett Square? Stop by the gallery sometime if so. RUsty
Love your videos! Can you trick out a golf cart in the Villages? I have a favorite color and would like my cart to express my love, zest and personality for life! Please don't get the wrong idea, I'm not talking gaudy, loud or in poor taste, more elegant and pretty 💖 thank you! Excuse this comment if you've addressed this already have not watched this video yet...gonna now 😉

@@RustyNelson thank you soo much!! I appreciate you!!
where else did you consider before interest at TV’s?
I’m still looking at other places around the country. But I’m really there for the activities and what the complex has the offer. And there does not seem to be any other choices that I have found. Happy to go investigate other places
And I thought I was the last person on earth with an iPhone 6.
Funny. I like the phone because it has the plug in ear.
Great job, Rusty! Lots of useful info. One question, is the GPS app $7 each month or just 1 time?
GPS is just a one time thing...you own it. Worked great for me...On the cart paths. Not so on the road though. Kept stopping.
The Villages with Rusty Nelson. Rusty? What is your cell phone provider? Wondering if that had anything to do with it stopping.
Att. That could be. Not sure what the difference is down there.
Never get a street legal cart. Just trust me. They should have never allowed that to happen. People think its cute, but what the villages don't tell you, cart deaths, yeah it happens.
THanks for the note.
Visit the Villages in May june july august sept oct.
I plan too. But I lived in Sacramento getting to 105 sometimes. Also I plan on going north at that time...maybe.
Please caption this! Thanks.
Have to be honest...do not know how...LOL
@@RustyNelson - you need to un-disable caption options on your side.
It is on. Sorry don't know what else to do.
@@RustyNelson Can you check this link: support.google.com/youtube/answer/2734796?hl=en ?
Ok I tried it so now its up to CZcams ti see if it works. Just on this video until I find out if it works.
Is the life style visit free or what does it cost?
Please refer to their website as the pricing changes.
