What is golf travel insurance?
Golf travel insurance is a form of travel insurance which has been specifically designed for those people who are going on a golfing holiday. It is very similar to a standard travel insurance policy, but has been tweaked to make it ideal for those who go on golfing holidays, and provides additional cover for golf clubs, and additional insurance for those playing golf.
What does golf travel insurance protect me from?
As well as the main things you would expect from a travel insurance policy, golf travel insurance also insures your golf clubs fully, in transit to and from the resort, as well as whilst you are there, and whilst you are playing. Amazingly, the number of golf clubs that get damaged whilst on planes is very high, and some travel insurance policies will not cover the clubs when they are not on the way to and from the resort. If clubs are lost on the way to your holiday, your golf travel insurance policy will pay for a new set right away, so you don’t miss out on any golf whilst on your trip.
As well as protecting your clubs, golf travel insurance also protects you from the many potential hazards of a golf course. Some standard travel insurance policies will not cover someone whilst they are driving a golf buggy, whilst golf travel insurance will cover golf buggies.
As well as the extras, golf travel insurance also gives you extended medical bills cover, so that should you injure yourself playing golf, or on the holiday in general, you know that you will have the best level of cover possible.
Many people do not realise the cost of healthcare abroad, especially as we are so used to the NHS in the UK which costs us nothing for treatment. An operation on a broken leg and subsequent treatment can cost as much as £10,000 in some countries, and without golf travel insurance, the customer would be liable for that bill.
