Shopping for golf carts on sale in Washington, DC? We ship new and used golf carts — including street-legal Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs) — to buyers across the District of Columbia. Because most DC streets are posted at 20–25 mph, the District is a natural fit for a registered LSV. Browse the carts below, read our guide to DC's golf cart and LSV laws, then call 1-888-460-6988 for a delivered price and financing.
Washington, DC treats a standard golf cart and a street-legal Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV) as two different things. A standard golf cart — designed and built for a golf course and not capable of exceeding 20 mph — is generally not street legal for regular use on public roads in the District, because it doesn't meet federal motor vehicle safety standards and typically carries only a serial number rather than a VIN.
An LSV (also called a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle, or NEV) is a four-wheeled vehicle that can exceed 20 mph but not more than 25 mph and is built to the federal FMVSS 500 standard (49 CFR 571.500). Once titled, registered, insured, and inspected with the DC DMV, an LSV can be driven on public roads — LSVs are permitted on streets posted 35 mph or less, and most DC streets sit at a default of 20–25 mph, so the vast majority of the city's roads qualify.
Because DC posts many streets at 20 mph and enforces its limits with automated speed cameras, an LSV fits the District's low-speed grid well. Rules can change and requirements are specific, so always confirm current requirements with the DC DMV (dmv.dc.gov) before driving on public roads. This page is general information, not legal advice.
To register an LSV in the District, you'll title and register it as a motor vehicle at a DC DMV service center in person — new titles can't be done online. You'll generally need a completed Certificate of Title/Temporary Tag Application, a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin identifying the vehicle as a low-speed vehicle (for a new vehicle) or the prior title, proof of identity such as a DC driver license or ID, and proof of insurance. LSVs must be registered, titled, insured, and inspected to be driven on a public way.
DC requires insurance that includes personal injury protection, and the operator must hold a valid driver's license. If your LSV is powered solely by an electric motor, no emissions test is required; a liquid-fueled LSV does need one. Because a standard golf cart has no conforming 17-digit VIN, DC won't issue a VIN to a homemade or retrofitted cart — the practical path is buying a vehicle built and certified as an LSV from the factory. Many of our street-legal models ship LSV-ready; call and we'll confirm which carts qualify for DC registration.
DC's compact, low-speed street grid is one of the friendliest environments for an LSV. With most local streets posted at 20–25 mph, a registered LSV can legally reach neighborhoods, errands, and short trips across much of the city without touching a higher-speed road.
An LSV can't be driven along roads posted above 35 mph, though it may cross one at an intersection where local rules allow. Tell us how and where you plan to drive in DC, and we'll match you with a cart that fits — a simple neighborhood cruiser for private property or a fully street-legal LSV you can register.
We carry the brands DC buyers ask for: Club Car, EZGO, Yamaha, Denago, Evolution, and more — new and used, electric and gas, from two to six passengers, in standard and street-legal LSV configurations.

A standard golf cart (built for a golf course and capped around 20 mph) is generally not street legal for regular road use in DC because it doesn't meet federal safety standards. Only a street-legal Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV) that runs 20–25 mph and meets the federal FMVSS 500 standard can be driven on public roads — and only when it's titled, registered, insured, and inspected with the DC DMV. LSVs are allowed on roads posted 35 mph or less.
Title and register the LSV as a motor vehicle at a DC DMV service center in person. You'll generally need a Certificate of Title/Temporary Tag Application, a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin identifying it as a low-speed vehicle (or the prior title), proof of identity such as a DC license or ID, and proof of insurance including personal injury protection. Electric LSVs are exempt from the emissions test; the operator needs a valid driver's license.
