Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a golf cart and a Low-Speed Vehicle?
A golf cart is designed for golf course use and typically tops out at 15 MPH. A Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV) can reach 20-25 MPH and comes equipped with safety features like headlights, seatbelts, and turn signals. Most states require golf carts to be upgraded to LSV standards before street use.
Can I drive a golf cart on any public road?
No. Most states only allow golf carts or LSVs on roads with speed limits of 35 MPH or lower. Some states restrict them to 25 MPH roads. Highway driving is prohibited everywhere. Many communities have designated golf cart roads and crossings. Always check your local and state laws.
Do I need a driver's license to drive a golf cart on the street?
In most states, yes. A valid driver's license or learner's permit is required for street-legal golf cart operation. Some states allow 14-16 year olds to operate golf carts on designated roads. Golf course driving typically doesn't require a license. Check your specific state's requirements.
How much does it cost to make a golf cart street legal?
Converting a standard golf cart to street-legal status typically costs $500-1,500 for equipment (lights, signals, mirrors, seatbelts, windshield). Registration and insurance add $100-300 per year. Some dealers sell pre-built street-legal carts that include all required equipment.
