Club Car has employed a fairly standard serial number location and format since around 1981. Prior to that, they used a different numbering system.
From 1975-80, Club Car always had three separate foot pedals, one for acceleration, one for braking, and on for a parking brake. If you see a Club Car with three pedals, it is certainly within this time frame. The serial number for Club car golf carts made between 1975 and 1980 can be found by lifting the seat bottom assembly. Look at the aluminum I-beam located just inboard of the driver’s side battery bank. Please view our picture below which shows the location of these serial numbers. Here are a few examples of the older format:
Format 1: A2493
Format 2: N11199
From 1981-Present, Club Car has produced several golf cart models, including the DS and Precedent, as well as numerous utility vehicles, industrial equipment, and personnel carriers. But, since the 1981 mark, the location of the serial number has been fairly standard and universal amongst all of these models. It is usually located towards the middle of the vehicle where the floor mat meets the bottom of the dash. It is typically printed onto a sticker or metal tag in this location. Also, modern Club Cars only have two pedals, one for acceleration and second which serves as a combination stop brake and parking brake. Please view our picture below to view the location on most modern Club Car models. Models form the 1980’s have the sticker slightly towards the passenger’s side of the cart, while newer models have the number more towards the center of the vehicle.
Generally, the modern Club Car serial numbers have a letter as the first (and sometimes second) digit. The letter based prefix code indicates the model of the vehicle. Please see chart below. The next two digits after the letters indicate the year. All numbers following the space or dash are the sequential number in which that vehicle rolled off the line in its assembly year.

How can I identify the model and year of my Club Car?
Starting in the 1980s Club Car vehicles have a serial number plaque at the lower edge of the dashboard. Our serial number convention is 12 characters and indicates the model, the model year and the production week the vehicle was produced. For example: PQ0604-123456 PQ=Precedent Electric 06=2006 Model Year 04=Fourth production week NOTE: If you cannot find a serial number plaque contact Club Car with the serial number from the transaxle, electric motor or gas engine. Utilizing that information we can assist you with identifying the serial number of your vehicle.
