If you are a renter, these are the kind of folks you want to rent from. No idea of what their insurance covers and if injured they have a lot of personal exposure.
I agree. There have been other threads on this topic. Lawyers have said that there is no effective way for a property owner to cover their liability for an accident caused by a renter using a golf cart. The personal liability coverage in your auto or homeowner's policy may extend to a non-paying friend or relative, but not to a renter with a lease, regardless of how the lease is worded.
