Tell me, how many times in the history of TV has a renter caused someone else harm with a golf cart? If you are following so closely that you can't stop when someone falls out of a golf cart in front of you , then it is you who would be at fault. I'm going to get out and enjoy the day. Somehow sitting at home wringing my hands and trying to dream of ways someone else could inadvertently cause me harm doesn't sound like too much fun. |

...if the risks of personal injury/accidental death/maiming from golf cart accidents in TV were so non-existent as you proclaim, the insurance companies would be writing the policies and making a fortune off the premiums raked in compared to the few or no claims and lawsuit judgements they'd have to pay out. |
I think renters in the past had a cart included and now expect a golf cart to be part of the deal adding an expensive burden if the owner has to rent one for them in order to lease out their home....and some do...or foolishly, take a risk, and let them use their existing cart that is knowingly or unknowingly uninsured. As the previous poster said, get the word out. It's safer for all of us. Hand would be renters a list of the all too eager golf cart rental people who are insured and disentangle yourself completely. Even if it has a minor breakdown, you are out of it, the rental company has loaners ready to go. Who needs the hassle.

I'm also guessing that there are a large number of owners living here (full and part-time) that don't insure their carts, so aren't they just as likely to cause the problem in your scenario(s)? I guess I'm missing your point that somehow renters are, or might be, more dangerous than existing owners or part-timers. |
The Villages Insurance advise based on the companies they represent and have contracts to write business.

I can see an insurance company insuring the cart but not the occupants. I would personally help my renters to secure a cart rental.

As for $60/year premiums, "you get what you pay for" in the fine print. |

I think landlords and renters looking for homes to rent here need to be aware of this. If they were aware, the original question would not have been posted here. |

I always assume that if something happens the potential is everyone will get sued, the renter driving the cart, the cart manufacturer and the person that provided the cart. There are some attorneys that would be honored to represent the injured party. Why anyone would elect to not have their "butt" covered is beyond me.

Call Grandpa and Grandma's Buggies or Don Cunningham Rent Me carts or any other rental cart company and ask them if you rent a cart are you covered on their insurance. Let me know what you find out.

We were told when we rented a cart that the cart was covered but not the drivers so you still are on your own for liability
