Golf Cart Transport
Coronado
The cart capital of San Diego is an island no cart can legally drive onto. We are the bridge: secured cart delivery to the Village, the Shores, and the Cays, and back off again.
Key Takeaways
- Every golf cart entering or leaving Coronado travels by truck: the only land route is the Coronado Bridge (SR-75), legal for neither golf carts (25 mph limit, CVC §21716) nor LSVs (35 mph limit, §21260).
- Coronado’s cart scene is mostly registered LSVs, plated, belted, windshielded, suited to the island’s flat 25-mph grid.
- The Coronado Cays sit down the Silver Strand on SR-75, which is not cart-legal, so even Cays–Village cart transfers are truck jobs.
- Navy families PCSing to NAS North Island bundle the cart with the household shipment, the cheapest way a cart moves.
- Discount Movers delivers to the Village, Shores, and Cays with gate and HOA coordination handled: licensed CAL-T #201759, since 1997.

The Island Problem
A Cart Capital
You Can’t Drive Into
Coronado is San Diego County’s golf cart capital, and the one place in the county where a cart categorically cannot arrive under its own power. The only land route is the San Diego–Coronado Bridge, State Route 75, whose speeds sit far above the 25-mph legal ceiling for golf carts (CVC §21716) and the 35-mph ceiling for LSVs (§21260). Every cart on the island came across in a vehicle. Ours is a proper flatbed with ramps, ratchet straps, and a flat written quote, with flatbed transport available if you want it.
Once across, the island explains itself: a flat, compact grid of 25-mph residential streets where a cart genuinely replaces a car. School runs, the golf course on Glorietta Bay, groceries, the ferry landing. That utility is why Orange Avenue supports a dedicated cart showroom (Coronado Golf Cars, at 1331 Orange. Entry #3 in our verified stores directory) and why the machines you see are largely street-legal LSVs with plates and seat belts rather than bare fairway carts.
The moves we run here weekly: new-purchase deliveries from the showroom or mainland dealers; carts accompanying Navy PCS households to NAS North Island; estate pickups when an island home sells; and the Cays shuttle, because the Coronado Cays sit four miles down the Silver Strand on SR-75, even a cart changing hands between the Cays and the Village rides a truck.

How Coronado Cart Moves
Actually Run
| Question | The island answer |
|---|---|
| Can a cart drive on/off the island? | No. SR-75 (bridge & Silver Strand) exceeds cart and LSV speed ceilings |
| Village ↔ Cays transfer | Truck job: the Strand connector is SR-75 |
| Typical delivery points | Village garages, Shores complexes, Cays dock-side spaces |
| HOA / gate coordination | Handled by us: Cays gate notice, Shores building rules, COI to the office when required |
| Best-value booking | Cart bundled with the household move: one truck, one day |
| Local buying | Coronado Golf Cars (1331 Orange Ave); mainland dealers deliver via our dealer service |
Parking-and-staging is the real island skill: Village streets are narrow, alleys narrower, and event weekends close blocks entirely. We stage the truck where the ramp angle works and walk the cart the last yards at idle, the same access discipline our Coronado household crews use for furniture.
Beyond The Island
Where Coronado Carts
Come From And Go
Inbound, carts arrive with relocating households (Navy orders to North Island above all), from mainland dealers, and from private sellers across the county. A used cart bought in Rancho Bernardo or Escondido is on the island by afternoon. Outbound, retirements and PCS departures send island carts to Ocean Hills, to Arizona and Nevada via out-of-state shipping, and into storage between homes.
