Golf insurance

[Deleted member 18121]

Hi all

My annual package with golfcare expires at the beginning of July.

I had the platinum package last year due to a holiday to Portugal, plus the offer they were running plus a dozen balls.

This year they want £67.99 to renew which isn't bad.... But no freebies, which makes me sad.

Does anyone know of a company that sweetens the deal? I'm not really interested in round vouchers.

I'll stick with golfcare if no good options

how much is it if you don't renew, let it lapse and start again?

£52.49... but it doesn't say how long you'd need to have lapsed the policy for as that is an "introductory" price.

Thought lower prices for new customers had been outlawed for insurance?

Surely the cover that's provided is the main reason for buying insurance.

I got a renewal email with a chunky increase from last year. Called them and they gave me last year's price.

I’ve just renewed with them, it was the same as last year however that year had increased from my initial year. I let it renew as I’ve got he 24hour cover which I don’t think they offer now. It allows me to leave my clubs in the car without worry, peace of mind.

Hadn't heard of that, but you could well be right.

yep, dont get me wrong... I want the insurance, but who doesn't love a freebie and its always nice to have an extra dozen balls. If there are no alternatives I'll just go with them again.

I'm thinking that I should get golf insurance - anybody had any good/bad experiences with particular companies and any recommendation?

Golf care always seem to be the best even after the introduction price. I’ve a Stewart golf trolley so have the higher pack with that specified and new for old on everything. Their standard cover is worthless for you kit after a few years. Always good to have a minimum of
Liability cover,
Especially if going abroad.

I've never had to use my insurances, luckily.

Being covered in the car at all times seems to have gone from most policies - golf plan now charge £500 excess for stolen from car

I have vague recollections of complaining about a renewal price so they gave me the introductory price without the balls. But I could be imagining it

Is insurance included within EG Golf fees then? If so, I will have to have a look at that

Personally I use golfplan.

I think my clubs are too old for golf insurance to be much help? Don't they all put a limit on the amount they pay out if the clubs are more than 5 seconds old?
