We are looking into buying an Emergency Golf Cart Assistance plan. If you have had good luck with one or bad luck with one, hope you will post & let us know. I tried to do a Search for this but did not have any luck. Thanks!

As you can see the post above, the name is blocked by this website since they aren't an advertiser. Here's a link, they are the best. You can spell their name two ways and it will take you to the link. So I've actually misspelled the name in the link, but it should take you there. The image shows up because it's not typed, that's the correct spelling, just add .com

If you have aaa they will pick up your disabled cart and deliver it to a repair shop.

Heard good things about Cart 911 . Seems they have the ability to fix more things on the spot and get you going

Good to know

I was going to mention AAA, but JerryP beat me to it. I have not used the service yet, but it should cover the cost of the tow.

Thanks so much for the advice.

Good to know

my cart broke down called AAA sAID it will be 2 1/2 hours before they could get there they had a guy coming from Jacksonville,

I called the local place that you cannot mention here that was talked about above it was 30 minutes from the time I called them till they had my cart loaded on a trailer and we were pulling away absolutely the best service!

AAA was forty minutes for us, they also cover my bicycle.

My wife has used the service no-can-mention for her electric cart and I've used them for my gas cart (of course, the "sex" of the cart has nothing to do with the service actually :)). They told her they'd be there in 40 minutes but were there in less than 30. They told me 20 minutes for mine and were there in exactly 20 minutes. Never had better service in my life. They are the only option for my family.

The CART company that will AIDE you when you have an emergency is very good. I have needed their service twice in six years and experienced service within a half hour, an efficient and knowledgeable worker, and immediate
delivery to my home.

Why is it that everything comes with joining something? This sometimes doesn't mean it's something good, sometimes it just means having another expense. Does the Emergency Golf Cart Assistance plan come with a bunch of things like we'll do this & we'll do that? The reason I ask is, are you getting charged for a bunch of other things that you'll never use? Why not when your cart breaks down just call someone to come pick it up? I have heard the nightmares about getting charging hundreds of dollars to pick it up & take it somewhere. I guess what I'm trying to say is, is this just a way for these businesses to get your money for memberships & is it really worth it? Won't the dealer where you bought come pick it up, they do for me because they know if they treat me right I'll come back & buy another cart. Don't take me wrong, I'm just asking because it seems like everything in TV has a catch to it or a way for these businesses to get your money. Just asking!

First check with the company you have your auto insurance and/or your golf cart Insurance. You may already be covered and if not, you may be able to add it for little cost. Some other companies that cover road assistance such as AAA cover golf carts too. As others have mentioned, there are local companies that offer just cart assistance for little cost.

K***A** cost $30/year and they will either address the issue or flatbed your cart home. If your cart dies or has a flat tire at 11:00PM you aren't going to be calling the dealer to come get you. For $30/year, I am guaranteed to get myself and my cart back home regardless of where I am and what time it is. I have used the service once for a flat tire (that they fixed at no additional cost).

We love **** Aid. They are dependable and very reasonable. When a cart dies, they will pick up the cart and driver/passenger and take them wherever they need to go. 352-*********

[Snoopy]

sounds like something we could use here!

[gigberk]

I have **** Aid and had to use them once. Had a flat on the golf course. Course let me use a cart and when I finished, tire was repaired at course parking lot and cart was waiting for me. No problem. Works for me.

Basically that is what ****aide does, your cart breaks down they come and pick it up or fix the flat, maybe give you a jump, sell you a new battery or tire, whatever it needs. It's a membership much like AAA is for the car, but for a golf cart. Those will electric carts might even be more inclined. My gas cart we've been members six years and haven't had to call.

One of my neighbors the one and only time he went to play Orange Blossom on the historic side in his electric cart, on the way back his batteries died and he wasn't a member and was still ten miles from home. Another neighbor of mine wrecked his Yamaha scooter in Wildwood in the middle of the night and was knocked unconcious. He was taken by ambulance to Ocala Regional and a Wildwood tow truck picked up his scooter. A couple of weeks later he went to get his scooter and towing and storage was $600 and it was going up $20 a day and they only accepted cash.
