The local dealer for Charlottesville

A real showroom, a short drive away

Plenty of our customers come from Charlottesville and Albemarle County. It is an easy run out Route 33 to US-29 or straight over on I-64, and folks make the trip because they get a real showroom, carts they can actually drive before they buy, and a service shop that does the work in-house instead of shipping the cart off.

Whether you are in a golf-cart community like Glenmore or Old Trail, out on acreage in western Albemarle, or looking for a street-legal cart to get around a neighborhood, we will match you to the right model and back it up long after the sale.

How Charlottesville gets around on a cart

  • Getting around golf-cart neighborhoods like Glenmore and Old Trail

Golf cart rules

Can you drive a golf cart in Charlottesville?

In Virginia, a golf cart can be driven on a public road only where the town or county has passed an ordinance allowing it, on roads posted 25 mph or less, in daylight (or with proper lights), by a licensed driver. Charlottesville and Albemarle have not broadly opened public roads to golf carts, so most cart use here is inside private and planned communities.

A low-speed vehicle (LSV) — a street-legal cart that reaches 20–25 mph and is titled, registered, and insured with the DMV — can be driven on roads posted up to 35 mph, which is how a lot of neighborhood driving is done legally.

Always confirm the current rules with your locality and, in a community, your HOA. We are happy to set a cart up street-legal so you are covered.

Rules change and every community is different — this is a general guide, not legal advice. We’ll help you set your cart up right. Call 540-574-3345.
