Golf Cart Transportation
San Diego
Flat $495 anywhere in San Diego County, lifted carts and LSVs included. No deposit. Carts, LSVs, and lifted builds moved anywhere in San Diego County, inside flatbed trailers, strapped at the frame, delivered to the exact parking space. Flat-rate quotes, no deposit, since 1997.
Key Takeaways
- Discount Movers transports golf carts, LSVs, and utility carts anywhere in San Diego County in flatbed deck trucks, strapped at the frame, never towed on an open hitch.
- California Vehicle Code §21716 restricts golf carts to 25 mph streets, so almost every cart relocation legally requires hauling, not driving.
- A golf cart added to a household move costs far less than a standalone cart move: the truck and crew are already scheduled.
- Discount Movers is a licensed California carrier (CAL-T #201759, US DOT #4372335) operating since 1997 with 50,000+ completed moves.
- Gated communities and HOAs are routine: gate coordination, Certificates of Insurance, and scheduled delivery windows are part of the service.
- Free quotes by phone at (858) 490-0155. Flat-rate, no deposit, pay when the work is done.

The Direct Answer
Who Moves Golf Carts
In San Diego?
Discount Movers moves golf carts throughout San Diego County, from a single 2-passenger cart across town to a 6-passenger limo cart delivered into a gated 55+ community. Carts travel on our own flatbed trailers, ramp-loaded and ratchet-strapped at the frame, driven by our own crews, never towed along on their own wheels behind a hitch. Prefer it out of the weather? An enclosed trailer is available at additional cost. We have operated in San Diego since 1997, have completed more than 50,000 moves, and hold active California carrier credentials: CAL-T #201759 (BHGS) and US DOT #4372335.
There are two ways a cart move happens. Cart-only: we send a truck and crew for the cart itself: a purchase from a private seller, a cart headed to a grandchild in Ramona, a snowbird’s cart going into storage for the summer. Cart-with-household: the cart rides the same truck as the furniture on moving day, which is the cheapest and most common version, especially on moves into golf communities like Ocean Hills Country Club or Oaks North, where the cart is the second car.
Either way the quote is flat, free, and given before anything is scheduled. No deposit, a policy we keep deliberately, because payment-up-front is the classic setup for a hostage load.
What We Move
Every Cart Type,
Sized And Planned
The word “golf cart” covers machines from 550 to 1,400 pounds. Size and battery type decide the equipment and the crew, so we ask three questions on every booking: how long, how wide, how tall.
Standard 2-Passenger Carts
Club Car, E-Z-GO, Yamaha fleet and personal carts, the backbone of every San Diego golf community.
- Typical size: 92–96″ L × 47–50″ W
- Roughly 550–700 lbs with lithium, 850–1,050 lbs with lead-acid
- Fits any of our trucks with room to spare
4- & 6-Passenger Carts
Stretched family and “limo” carts with rear-facing seats, common in Coronado and the Cays.
- 4-seaters run ~108–120″ long
- 6-seaters run ~144–155″ and up to ~1,400 lbs
- Rear seat kits and canopies measured before load day
Lifted & Custom Builds
Lift kits, off-road tires, light bars, custom bodies. Every added inch is planned for, not discovered at the ramp.
- Lift + tires add 4–10″ of height and width
- Measure to the tallest point (canopy or light bar)
- Low-clearance garages and gates checked in advance
LSVs & Street-Legal Carts
GEM, Evolution, ICON and converted carts registered as low-speed vehicles under CVC §385.5.
- Plated LSVs ride exactly like carts
- Registration paperwork stays with the vehicle
- See our cart vs. LSV law guide
| Cart class | Length | Width | Height (canopy) | Typical weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-passenger electric | 92–96 in | 47–50 in | 68–75 in | 550–1,050 lbs |
| 4-passenger | 108–120 in | 47–50 in | 75–80 in | 700–1,150 lbs |
| 6-passenger “limo” | 144–155 in | 48–50 in | 75–80 in | 900–1,400 lbs |
| Lifted cart (any class) | +0–4 in | +2–6 in | +4–10 in | +50–150 lbs |
| Utility / cargo cart | 105–130 in | 48–55 in | 45–80 in | 800–1,500 lbs |
Ranges compiled from current Club Car, E-Z-GO, and Yamaha manufacturer specifications. Weight varies mainly by battery chemistry: a lead-acid pack alone weighs 350–400 lbs. Confirm your model’s numbers before move day; we plan from your measurements.
Step By Step
How A Golf Cart Move
Actually Works
The whole intake takes one phone call. Here is the exact sequence from first call to keys-back-in-hand.
Tell us the cart and the two addresses
Make and model, passenger count, lifted or stock, battery type, and where it’s going. Photos help. We quote flat on that call, free, no deposit.
We check access at both ends
Gate codes, HOA delivery windows, steep driveways, low garage clearances. If your community needs a Certificate of Insurance, we send it directly to the office before move day.
Prep the cart (10 minutes, your side)
Charge per our battery guide, clear loose items, leave us the key and the TOW/RUN switch position. That’s it.
Ramp load and four-point tie-down
The cart is driven up the ramp at idle, positioned, and strapped to the truck at four frame points, never by the axle over bodywork. Wheels chocked, brake set, pads on the rails.
Flatbed transport
The cart sits on the deck on its own tires, strapped at four frame points, never towed on its own wheels, never dragged. Enclosed transport is available on request if you would rather it travel out of the weather.
Delivery to the exact spot
Garage, cart barn, carport pad, or clubhouse space. We park it, hand back the key, and walk the cart with you against the pickup photos.
Communities & HOAs
Gated Golf Communities
Are Our Home Turf
A large share of San Diego cart moves start or end behind a gate. The coordination is on us, not you.
We move carts into and out of Ocean Hills Country Club, Oaks North and Seven Oaks in Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Carlsbad, Lake San Marcos, Coronado and the Cays, and Borrego Springs’ cart communities, plus estate deliveries across Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, and Santaluz.
What the community office needs, we handle: advance gate notice, vendor insurance certificates, delivery-window scheduling, and quiet-hours awareness. Moving the household too? Our senior moving service runs the same playbook for the furniture: one coordinated day, cart off the truck last, parked in its space.
Office called before move day
Gate access, window, insurance certificate, confirmed in advance, in writing where the HOA wants it.
Crew arrives inside the window
Trucks sized to community streets; no blocked cul-de-sacs, no surprise semis.
Cart parked in its assigned space
Garage, pad, or community cart barn, delivered to the spot, not the curb.
