After sixteen years in the United States golf cart and powersports industry, a specialized dealership has planted its flag in Mexico’s resort corridor. Coyne Carts And Powersports now operates two locations in Cabo San Lucas, bringing its business model to a market where golf carts have become essential transportation for both residents and hospitality businesses.
The company positions itself as an importer and distributor in a region where reliable vehicle options can be limited. Their approach centers on offering a wider selection than competitors while undercutting on price and extending warranty coverage beyond typical industry standards. For homeowners navigating Cabo’s hillside communities and rental companies managing fleets of guest vehicles, these factors matter.
Building a Niche in Resort Transportation
Cabo San Lucas presents particular challenges for vehicle ownership. The climate is harsh on machinery, parts can be expensive, and the tourist economy creates unique demands. Golf carts have evolved from course-only vehicles into legitimate transportation for short trips in master-planned communities and resort areas. The golf cart dealership serves three distinct customer segments: individual homeowners, rental operations that lease carts to tourists, and golf courses maintaining their fleets.
The company’s value proposition hinges on variety and international logistics. Operating as both a dealership and importer means they can source inventory differently than local competitors. They’ve also built capabilities to ship products internationally, addressing a gap in a market where cross-border vehicle transactions often involve bureaucratic complications.
Expanding Beyond Baja
The two Cabo locations represent just the beginning of a broader Mexico strategy. Plans are already in motion to open additional powersports dealerships in Cancun and Puerto Vallarta during the fourth quarter of 2026. The expansion targets Mexico’s other major resort destinations, places where the same transportation dynamics that make Cabo favorable exist.
The timeline suggests a measured approach rather than aggressive scaling. Opening in late 2026 allows nearly two years to refine operations in Cabo, understand regulatory differences across Mexican states, and develop supply chains for markets separated by thousands of miles. Cancun and Puerto Vallarta share Cabo’s resort economy characteristics but differ significantly in infrastructure, local competition, and customer demographics.
The company’s longevity in the U.S. market since 2008 provides operational experience that newer entrants lack. Understanding warranty service, parts inventory, and seasonal demand patterns takes years to develop. Whether that expertise translates directly to Mexican markets remains to be seen, but the two-location foundation in Cabo gives them a testing ground. For resort communities and businesses dependent on small vehicle fleets, having another established golf cart supplier with international reach adds a new option to a historically limited field.
