CartWheels Golf Cart in Downtown Leesburg

When you're planning a night out in Historic Leesburg, one of the biggest questions is how you're going to get around. While rideshare giants like Uber and Lyft are the default for many, there's a new (and much more fun) player in town: CartWheels.

The Uber Experience in Leesburg

Uber and Lyft are great for long-distance hauls, like heading to Dulles Airport or commuting into DC. However, for short hops around downtown, they can be overkill. In Leesburg, you often face:

  • Variable Pricing: Surge pricing during events at the Tally Ho or busy weekend nights.
  • Wait Times: Drivers often have to come from Sterling or Ashburn, meaning a 15-minute wait for a 3-minute ride.
  • Parking Woes: Your driver might struggle to find a spot to pick you up on a crowded King Street.

The CartWheels Advantage

CartWheels was designed specifically for the Leesburg ecosystem. Here's why locals are making the switch:

  • Flat Rate: Just $7 for a round trip. No surprises, no surges.
  • Open-Air Fun: Enjoy the breeze and the sights of downtown rather than being stuck behind a tinted window.
  • Nimble Navigation: Our carts can easily navigate the narrow side streets and busy intersections of the historic district.
  • Local Connection: Our drivers are your neighbors. Want to know which winery has the best view or which brewery just tapped a new IPA? Just ask.

The Verdict

If you're traveling more than 5 miles, call an Uber. But if you're hopping between Loudoun Brewing Co., The Wine Kitchen, and your car parked at the garage, CartWheels is the clear winner for cost, convenience, and vibes.
