Why do you need a separate insurance policy for your golf cart?

It's simple, really. Although you can add a simple endorsement [?] Endorsement or options
An endorsement is any modification to the standard policy language or coverage. For example, the breakdown endorsement in our manufactured home program provides expanded coverage to include the mechanical or electrical failure of items such as appliances or the furnace.
to your homeowners policy, doing so only covers you only when you are on your own property. If you go anywhere off-site, you need to protect yourself with a genuine golf cart policy.

Program highlights
  • Our program accepts single rider and multi-passenger models
  • $1,000 in accessory coverage is included with a full coverage policy
  • Add optional coverage for your transport trailer
  • Multiple discounts – home ownership, insuring multiple units, transferring your policy to us, and loss-free renewal

Golfcart Insurance

Choose from three coverage levels

Full coverage

You and your golf cart are covered for liability, collision, and comprehensive losses. With full coverage you can add options to your policy.

Liability plus comprehensive

Comprehensive coverage adds protection for theft or damage to your unit resulting from causes such as a fire or weather, but not collision.

Liability only

Your cart is insured just for liability requirements of your state. Physical damage coverage is not part of your policy. Please note that passenger liability does not cover additional riders on single-passenger models.

Every policy includes

Actual cash value

In the event of a total loss or theft, we will pay the actual cash value, which includes a deduction for depreciation. For a partial loss, we pay the cost to repair, minus depreciation for damaged parts and the deductible.

Accessories

With full coverage, we automatically cover permanently attached accessories, both manufacturer and non-manufacturer, up to $1,000. You can buy additional coverage up to $15,000.

Expand your coverage

Street use

This is especially popular in gated communities, RV/Camping parks, low speed vehicle (LSV) subdivisions, and mobile home parks.

Transport trailer

Hauling your golf cart requires a trailer. You can add physical damage coverage for a trailer designed for the transport of your insured unit. A $250 deductible applies.

Medical payments

Add $1,000 in medical payments [?] Medical payments

Flexible payment options

Option 1 -- start EZPay to automate your payments

Many customers want the convenience of monthly or quarterly automated bill payments. With EZPay, a withdrawal is made from a bank account you specify, or charged to your credit card. We let you pick the date of the month for the payment (1 to 28). Once EZPay begins, we will stop mailing invoices.

Option 2 -- pay after we send you a bill

You either can pay in full at the time you start or renew the policy, or in many states we offer installments on a 2-Pay schedule – half up-front and the balance due in 60 days – or on a 4-Pay schedule – a quarter up-front with an installment due every 60 days. A service fee applies to each installment. Pay by personal check, credit card, or bank account transfer.

Some states place limits on the payment plan schedules we can offer or the service fee. To confirm, check with your agent or call Customer Care at 800-543-2644.

Understanding your policy

Golf carts can be insured in one of two ways

If you have a homeowners policy, an HO-3 in industry jargon, you may be able to extend the liability coverage to use of your golf cart. No physical damage coverage for your golf cart is included. Although this approach is inexpensive, it likely covers you only while driving on your premises as defined by the policy.

The golf cart cannot be registered for legal use on public streets, may not be used in racing, may not be rented out to others, may not be used to transport people or cargo for a fee, and may not be used for any business purpose.

Your alternative is a stand-alone golf cart policy. It will include liability coverage separate from your homeowners policy, and may include physical damage coverage due to collision with another vehicle or an object such as a tree or sign. It may also include other causes of loss such as hail, a fallen tree branch, fire, vandalism, or theft. This list is sometimes referred to as comprehensive coverage.

Depending on the policy, you may have the ability to use the cart off of your own premises, such as in a community that is designed for low speed electric vehicles. This kind of coverage is not intended for a business to cover one or more golf carts used by staff.

Help with the to do's

Keeping your golf cart running well is mostly about the battery

Get ready in the spring. Clean the battery posts and tighten the battery cables, lubricate the joints, test the wheel alignment, test and clean the brakes, and check the belts.

Check the battery water level monthly. Fill with distilled or clean drinking water, but do not overfill.

Wash the battery. A solution of baking soda and water will neutralize any spilled battery acid.

Check the tire pressure. Low pressure puts an extra drain on your battery.

Charge the battery after each round. You won't live down the ribbing if you are towed in from the 9th hole. Remember to put the cart in neutral.

Staying safe

Learn how to keep it in good condition – and yourself safe.

Sure, your golf cart may go only 10 m.p.h., but heeding a few safety tips can keep you safe and your cart in good condition.

Be careful going down steep slopes. Too much speed will pull it sideways and cause it to roll.

If your cart runs on gas, use a ventilated storage space to prevent the build-up of fumes.

If your cart is electric, follow owner manual instructions on charging.

Use a garage, shed or carport to keep it safe from the wet weather.

Remember, the sun is plastic's worst enemy. So keep it in storage or in the shade when not using it.
