Protect Your Golf Cart On and Off the Course

Golf carts have become much more than vehicles used on the golf course. Today, many owners use golf carts in campgrounds, private communities, seasonal properties, parks, lake communities, and private property.

​

While golf carts can be fun and convenient, accidents, theft, property damage, and liability claims can happen unexpectedly. Golf Cart Insurance helps protect both your investment and your financial future.

 

At M&M Insurance Agency, we help golf cart owners throughout Michigan and Wisconsin find coverage designed specifically for how they use their golf carts.

• Theft

• Vandalism

Coverage needs often vary depending on where and how the golf cart is used.

 

Seasonal Property Owners

Many Michigan and Wisconsin seasonal homeowners use golf carts around:

• Campgrounds

• Cottage communities

• Lakefront developments

• Recreational properties

 

Because golf carts are often stored for part of the year, protection against theft, vandalism, and weather damage can be important.

Why Homeowners Insurance May Not Be Enough

Many homeowners policies provide only limited coverage for golf carts.

 

Coverage limitations often apply when:

• The golf cart leaves your property

• Liability claims occur

• The cart is operated in a community setting

• The cart is used for transportation rather than golf

A dedicated golf cart policy often provides broader protection.

Many customers may qualify for discounts by combining golf cart coverage with:

• Auto Insurance

• Homeowners Insurance

• Recreational Vehicle Insurance

• Boat Insurance

• Motorcycle Insurance

• Personal Umbrella Insurance
