Do I need golf buggy insurance?
Golf buggy insurance is not mandatory if you do have a buggy and are using it whilst playing golf. However just like any other insurance product, it can cover you for unexpected expenses if your buggy is lost, damaged or stolen.
Standard golf insurance plan includes public liability cover which will cover you if you injure someone with your buggy. It won't cover the vehicle itself if it is damaged though.

- check with your home insurance provider if your buggy is covered within certain features (contents in outbuildings, contents in garden, single item etc.).

You will be insured under your Public Liability Cover and up to the limit stated in your policy schedule. It means that if your buggy is theft, lost or damaged you won't get any financial compensation.
