I know its snowbird season and have seen mention of many golf cart accidents. I do plan to get a roadside assitance policy this month (now that my cart is a year old) and my cart is insured under my USAA homeowners (but do not believe covered for others driving it). Would love to hear what others might suggest how to protect myself should the unthinkable happen.
Damage to your cart will probably be covered by your insurance. But, in the event of an accident that results in injury to your friend or another person, you will not be adequately covered if you are sued. If you are hesitant to take the risk, I would make other arrangements, like renting a cart from a cart service.
