Unlike shipping a standard-sized vehicle, transporting a golf cart is a specialized service with which not every shipper has extensive experience. That being the case, you may get some wildly different cost estimates and rates when comparing prices and evaluating companies. When in doubt, the best approach is to lean toward companies with both experience and a physical office in locations in the areas you’re shipping to and from.

The Process of Shipping A Golf Cart: Tips & Info
Aside from which company you decide to go with, you’ll have some choices to make when shipping a golf cart. There are two main ways to transport a vehicle: an open carrier or an enclosed one. As you might imagine, an enclosed carrier offers more protection and privacy but comes with an additional cost. An open trailer is cheaper but can expose your equipment to some little risks like the elements, weather, and road debris. Similarly, you can have a shipment delivered directly to your door (as opposed to a delivery terminal) as a premium service.
Here are three of the most important aspects of golf cart shipping:
Vehicle tracking - Every shipment we make is tracked electronically; our trailers are equipped with tracking technology, allowing us to provide customers with real-time updates on their delivery status. We focus on providing affordable, on-time delivery for every vehicle and pride ourselves on keeping our customers in the loop and the lines of communication open. We’re happy to answer any of your questions at any point during the process.
Insurance - Insurance is included as part of every cost estimate we provide, regardless of vehicle type or destination. Whether you need a golf cart shipped across the state or across the country, we’ve got you covered against potential damages from pickup to delivery.
Crating - Depending on the method of shipment and the weight, you may want to consider having your golf cart, and crated before delivery. This is not always necessary, but it can be a good idea in certain situations (for example, air freight, or flatbed transport). We provide crating services for motorcycles, go-karts, UTVs, golf carts, and any other type of recreational vehicle.
