Credit Score May Be One Factor
There is no single credit score that guarantees golf cart financing. Available options may vary by applicant, financing provider, dealer, state, golf cart, requested amount, cart condition, and program availability.
Some providers may review credit score, credit history, income information, identity information, requested amount, existing obligations, and other eligibility factors. GolfCartFinancing.com does not make credit decisions, does not set credit requirements, and does not guarantee that any applicant will receive financing.

Is There a Minimum Credit Score for Golf Cart Financing?
Minimum credit score requirements, if any, may vary by financing provider, dealer, program, requested amount, and applicant profile. Some providers may consider more than the credit score alone, while others may have specific eligibility guidelines.
Because requirements can vary, buyers should avoid assuming that a specific credit score guarantees approval, denial, rate, term, payment amount, or financing availability.
Can Buyers With Fair or Challenged Credit Check Options?
Some buyers may have fair credit, limited credit history, past credit challenges, or other credit-related concerns. Available options may vary by applicant, provider, dealer, requested amount, state, golf cart, and program availability.

Learn MoreWhy Credit Score Is Not the Only Factor
A credit score may help providers evaluate risk, but other details may also matter. The total purchase amount, income information, monthly obligations, cart type, dealer, location, and provider program requirements may all affect available options.
For example, a buyer requesting a higher amount for a custom or street-legal golf cart may have different available options than a buyer requesting a lower amount for a basic used cart. Actual options may vary.
How Cart Cost May Affect Financing Options
Golf cart cost can vary based on brand, model, condition, battery type, seating capacity, accessories, lift kits, street-use features, dealer pricing, location, taxes, fees, delivery, and other purchase details.
Because the requested amount may affect available financing options and estimated payments, buyers may want to review total cost and estimated payment ranges before moving forward.
Cart Type May Also Matter
Financing options may vary depending on whether the cart is new, used, electric, gas, custom, lifted, or street-legal where permitted. Used carts may require review of condition, age, battery health, and dealer details. Custom, lifted, or street-legal carts may include upgrades that affect total purchase amount.
How to Check Available Golf Cart Financing Options
Golf cart financing options may be available for eligible new, used, electric, gas, custom, lifted, and street-legal golf carts through participating lenders, financing providers, dealers, dealer networks, affiliates, and other participating third parties. Available options may vary by applicant, provider, dealer, state, golf cart, requested amount, credit profile, and program availability.
