Call 833-844-4357Plated LSVs in California
- LSVs are generally registered with the DMV and must carry at least California's minimum liability coverage.
- LSVs are generally limited to roads with speed limits of 35 mph or less, with some local exceptions.
- Some cities have golf cart transportation plans that allow carts on designated streets.
Golf carts and off-road use
- Carts used only inside private communities may face HOA insurance requirements rather than state ones.
- Golf cart zones near courses may have their own equipment and insurance rules.
Rules change and vary by city and county. Confirm current requirements with the state motor vehicle agency and your local government before relying on any of the above.
What to compare on a California quote
- Use the California quote line for the fastest answer.
- Compare uninsured motorist coverage — LSV occupants have little crash protection.
- Ask how custom equipment and enclosures are valued in a total loss.

Quick answers
+Why does California use a different phone number?
California quotes are handled by a team that writes in the state. Calling 833-844-4357 puts you straight through to them.
+Can I drive my golf cart on California streets?
Generally only in cities with a golf cart transportation plan or designated zones, and only on approved streets. A registered LSV has broader access to low-speed roads.
