Insurance For You writes Myrtle Beach golf cart insurance and low-speed vehicle insurance for people in Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Conway, Surfside Beach, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, and surrounding Grand Strand communities.
The goal is straightforward: liability that matches how the cart is actually used — private property, a gated community, or a public street.
A homeowners policy and a personal auto policy do not automatically cover a cart on the road. Motorcycles, boats, and RVs are quoted separately.
Coverage is quoted to the vehicle and how it is driven. A course cart and a street-legal LSV are not the same form.
Myrtle Beach Golf Cart Insurance coverages
Golf Cart
Liability and physical damage for carts used on a course, in a community, or on the street with a permit. Quoted to how the cart is actually used.
LSV / low-speed vehicle
Street-legal low-speed vehicles with the equipment and VIN the state expects. Not the same as a golf cart permit. Not the same as a golf cart permit. A license plate usually means LSV. Extra lights do not.
Scooters and ebikes
Quoted when they need their own policy. A homeowners policy is not a substitute for road use.
Local factors that affect a golf cart quote
Grand Strand carts are not a Saturday toy in the shed.
-
North Myrtle Beach, gated communities, and HOAs often have their own rules on top of the state permit.
-
A cart that stays on the course is a different risk than one that runs to dinner on a public street.
-
South Carolina requires a permit, a licensed driver, and liability insurance for a golf cart on a public road. The common statewide liability minimum is 25/50/25 — the same numbers as auto.
-
Default state rules keep permitted carts on roads posted 35 mph or less, generally within four miles of the registered address, and in daylight unless the local ordinance says otherwise. Towns can add their own hours and routes.
-
LSVs are registered more like a small vehicle. Do not assume the golf-cart permit covers that unit.
-
Visitors and second-home owners show up with a cart and no permit. That is a file problem before it is a price problem.
Common gaps
These are the issues that show up most often:
-
Assuming homeowners or auto already covers the cart on a public street
-
No permit, no proof of insurance in the cart, or a driver with no license
-
A street-legal LSV written as if it were a course cart
-
Physical damage skipped on a cart that cost more than the furniture
-
Kids in the cart with no seat belt on a public road
-
An HOA that requires proof of insurance and the household never bought a policy
-
Scooters and ebikes left on a homeowners contents limit
A short review of how the cart is used usually finds this faster than starting from scratch.

FAQ
Does homeowners insurance cover my golf cart?
Usually only in a limited way on private property. A cart on a public street needs its own liability. Do not assume the house policy is enough.
Does South Carolina require golf cart insurance?
For a golf cart operated on a public road, yes. The cart must be permitted and registered with SCDMV, and you carry proof of liability insurance. The statewide auto minimum of 25/50/25 is the liability figure most often required.
What is the difference between a golf cart and an LSV?
A permitted golf cart is not the same as a registered low-speed vehicle. LSVs have different equipment and registration rules. They are quoted as what they are, not as a cart with extra lights.
Can I drive the cart at night?
Default state rules are daylight. Some cities and counties set their own hours if the cart is equipped for it. Check the town. Insurance still cares how it is used.
Do you write motorcycles, boats, or RVs on this page?
Those are separate. This page is golf carts, LSVs, scooters, and ebikes.
