Specialized transport for golf carts and low-speed vehicles (LSVs). Crated, palletized, or strapped shipping for every brand — door-to-door in all 50 states.
Golf cart shipping is the dedicated auto transport service for golf carts, low-speed vehicles (LSVs), neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs), and similar small-format vehicles. Despite their name, modern golf carts have evolved well beyond the golf course — they now serve as primary transportation in retirement communities, beach towns, gated developments, large properties, college campuses, resort facilities, and even some downtown districts where local ordinances permit them on public roads. Many of these carts are heavily customized with lift kits, oversized wheels, custom paint, premium audio systems, and even tracked snow conversions.
Razorback Auto Transport ships golf carts nationwide using carriers experienced with small-format vehicle transport. Whether you're shipping a new cart from a dealer, moving your snowbird cart between northern and southern residences, transporting a custom build to a new community, or delivering an LSV purchased from out-of-state, our golf cart shipping service handles the entire move door-to-door.
Traditional 2-passenger and 4-passenger golf carts from major manufacturers — Club Car, EZGO, Yamaha, Star EV, ICON, Bintelli, Tomberlin, and others. Both electric and gas-powered models. Standard golf carts ship most economically because they fit easily on standard auto carriers with multiple carts per trailer.
Modified carts with suspension lifts, oversized off-road tires, and aggressive styling. Lifted golf carts are popular in beach communities, large property settings, and as personal recreation vehicles. The added height requires accurate measurement at booking — lifted carts may exceed standard trailer top-deck clearance.
Extended-length carts with three rows of seating, common in resort, real estate showing, and family neighborhood use. Stretch carts ship at slightly higher cost due to additional length but use the same general transport methods as standard carts.
Street-legal golf carts and similar small electric vehicles with VIN numbers, full lighting systems, seat belts, and the ability to be registered for road use in many states. LSVs ship the same way as golf carts but typically require slightly more careful handling due to additional features like windshields, full doors, and registered components.
Heavily modified golf carts with custom paint, premium audio, lighting kits, big-bore engines, custom upholstery, and bespoke styling. Custom carts often benefit from palletized or crated shipping for protection against transit damage.
Heavy-duty golf carts with cargo beds, dump beds, or tool storage — common in industrial, hospitality, and large-property applications. These ship similarly to standard carts but may weigh more depending on configuration.
The most economical method. The golf cart loads onto a standard auto carrier alongside cars and trucks, secured with appropriate straps. Multiple golf carts often ship together on a single carrier, which keeps per-cart pricing affordable.
Cart loads onto a wheeled pallet that transports as a unit. Palletized golf cart shipping isolates the cart from direct trailer contact and is common for higher-value custom carts.
The cart ships inside a wooden crate, providing maximum protection short of full enclosed transport. Crated shipping is standard for dealer-to-dealer movement of brand-new carts.
The cart ships inside a fully enclosed trailer, protected from all weather and visibility. Enclosed golf cart shipping is used for premium custom carts, show carts, and high-value LSVs.
Approximate strapped golf cart transport pricing:
Lifted golf carts add a small premium based on accommodation requirements. Stretch carts (6-passenger) add $50–$100. Multi-cart shipments to the same destination get per-cart discounts. Palletized shipping adds $100–$150. Crated shipping adds $200–$300. Enclosed transport runs 50–100% above strapped pricing. Razorback provides exact pricing online.
Snowbird golf cart shipping: One of our most popular golf cart shipping use cases. Retirees in golf cart communities (The Villages, Sun City, beach communities throughout the Southeast) ship carts seasonally rather than driving long distances or maintaining duplicate carts. Round-trip booking provides discounted pricing and locks in availability for both legs of the seasonal migration.
For tens of thousands of snowbirds living in golf cart communities, seasonal cart shipping is a routine part of the annual migration. Razorback handles dedicated snowbird golf cart routes between northern home regions and southern destinations including The Villages, Sun City, Sun City West, Naples, Sarasota, Hilton Head, and other golf cart-friendly retirement communities. Round-trip bookings get discounted pricing and locked-in availability. See our snowbird auto transport service page for more on full snowbird logistics.

Yes. Razorback regularly ships lifted golf carts with raised suspension and oversized tires. Provide accurate overall height at booking — carts with significant lifts may exceed standard trailer top-deck clearance, requiring specific carrier dispatch. The premium for lifted carts is typically minimal and depends on the actual accommodation needed.
For standard golf carts, crating is optional. Most shipments use strapped transport on standard auto carriers, which is reliable and economical. Choose crated shipping for: brand-new dealer-to-dealer movement, high-value custom builds, and shipments where maximum cosmetic protection is desired. Crating adds $200–$300 to base pricing.
Yes — and it's significantly more economical per cart than separate shipments. Common scenarios include family fleet moves, snowbird couples shipping both spouses' carts together, and dealer-to-community deliveries of multiple new carts. Mention multi-cart shipping when booking for volume pricing.
Yes. Low-speed vehicles ship via Razorback the same way as standard golf carts. LSVs typically have VIN numbers, registration documents, and additional features like windshields, doors, and seat belts — provide registration documentation at pickup. Some LSVs cross state lines as registered vehicles, which can affect documentation requirements at delivery.
