Default AAA for golf carts

We have Kart Aide and just noticed as I was going to renew it that their plans only include pickup from your HOME to a dealership to fix it, not if you are stranded. What other options are people using here and have you had a breakdown experience with them.

We've have Kart Aide for both carts for years and I've always had them just bring me and the cart back home. If I can't repair it then I call someone to fix it at the house.

Other options would be adding roadside assistance to your golf cart insurance. I did and it was only $10 for the year. I have not used it but I was told they would use cart aid if needed. I would call cart aid and ask what their true policy is for towing to home as I cannot see it different than taking it to a closed garage late at night?

So, if you're stranded, and they take your cart to a repair shop, how will you be getting home from the repair shop?

If you're at home, and they tow your car to a repair shop, well - you're already home.

That's the difference.

I have been stranded twice, they will tow you to your home, or a shop...your choice.

Default American Golf Cart Assoc

I currently have American Golf Cart Association. They have different plans, 24 hour towing, & they have breakdown at home & breakdown on the road. This is their website if you want to investigate their offerings Home

If you have AAA for your car, I'm pretty sure that will cover your stranded golf cart. That said, I have Kartaide and used them twice over the years.

Don't know for sure, but some have posted that AAA will not tow your cart if it's on the golf course...

Words to that effect were in the AAA contract the last time I looked.

That makes sense that AAA would not go onto the golf course to tow your cart. What wasn't clear was whether "golf club property" would also include the country club parking lot.

Kart Aid won't get you on a golf course either, you have to get it off the course to the starter shack lot or the street yourself. Happened to me twice over the years.

I now use 24 hour Cart Club. For a long time I had kart side but one time I called them for a flat tire in my garage and they refused to come out. They said I wasn’t stranded because I was home. Then I found out that they also charge a fee to take you from your home to a dealer ship. 24 Cart Club is very helpful and doesn’t care where you are. They even loaned me a spare tire and rim until I got my flat fixed. They are the best.

I use AGA ( Home )

Been stranded twice and they came and picked up my cart both times and delivered where I instructed them for repair.

Not really sure I understand your point, but I can’t speak more highly of their service. We were stranded at 10pm and they responded within 15 mins and took us and our cart home.
