Your Next Perfect Drive, Protected: Golf Travel Insurance
Here’s why you need golf travel Insurance from Yellow Jersey.
Are you dreaming of hitting the fairways on a sunny weekend getaway or a grand golfing adventure abroad? We get it! At Yellow Jersey, we’re golfers, too, and we know how important it is to protect your passion. That’s why we’ve created golf travel insurance that’s as easy to understand and covers the things you really need so you can focus on your game wherever it takes you.
Standard travel insurance often fails to address golfers’ unique needs. Your clubs are more than just luggage; a sudden course closure or a missed tee time can seriously derail your plans. That’s where our golf travel insurance comes in. It is designed to cover those ‘what if’ moments so you can relax and enjoy your trip.
Ask yourself two questions about your current travel insurance –
Does it cover a sudden course closure or a missed tee time?
e.g. due to adverse weather
Does my travel insurance cover the full value of my clubs?
Or emergency club hire…
Our Golf Travel Insurance covers emergency medical expenses, repatriation, and trip cancellation on top of lots of other golf specific features you cant get from a generic travel insurer.
In much the same way you buy travel insurance for winter sports, we have made travel insurance for golf holidays simple and easy to understand. Buying golf travel insurance has always been needlessly complicated, so we aim to make the coverage we offer when playing abroad absolutely clear.
Whether you play every day or just add it to a broader adventure, we’ve got you covered.
Golf Travel insurance VS GENERIC TRAVEL Insurance?
Most standard policies either won’t cover golf equipment to its full value, or they won’t over-hiring clubs if your clubs fail to arrive. Standard travel insurance won’t cover lost rounds due to bad weather conditions, leaving you out of pocket. There is usually no cancellation protection for injuries that prevent you from playing golf– the main purpose of your trip.
Yellow Jersey’s golf travel insurance covers the things that matter most to golfers.
Club Protection: Lost, stolen, or damaged clubs? We’ve got you covered.
Hire Help: Need to rent clubs when ours failed to arrive? We can help with the cost of that.
Tee Time Security: Non-refundable green fees? We’ll aim to get those back to you.
Personal Protection: Accidents happen. We include personal liability and medical coverage.
Trip Coverage: Cancellations and delays? We can help mitigate those costs.
Baggage Protection: We also cover your personal belongings.
No matter where you travel to play golf, if you have Golf Travel Insurance with Yellow Jersey, you can relax and play with complete confidence that you’re covered.
Annual or Short Term
A Travel lots, pay less
Committing to an annual policy can often work out better value than buying cover for each trip, while still keeping you protected for every weekend adventure or week-long holiday abroad.
Plus, our policies can cover multiple sports, so you could be set for your summer golfing adventures and still have cover ready for your winter skiing trip; no last-minute insurance scramble required.
B No commitment
Not travelling all the time, or not ready to sign up for a full year? No worries. Our short-term, single-trip policies might cost a little more per trip, but they give you all the flexibility you need and the same handy suite of covers as our annual travellers.
Discounts
Heading off with your other half or the whole gang? We think that should be fun, not a headache for your wallet. That’s why couples get a break on the second traveller. One policy covers you both, and let’s be honest, one set of claims is usually enough drama for anyone.
Families get an even sweeter deal. Extra kids are added at a lower rate, so a family of four ends up paying just a little more than two adults. Single parents, don’t worry, the same clever scaling applies. Basically, we won’t charge you double just because there are more of you.
It all makes sense: more people on one policy doesn’t mean double the risk, and it certainly doesn’t mean double the paperwork. So grab your crew, pack your bags, and enjoy the trip. We’ve got the cover sorted at a fair price, no fuss, no nonsense.
