Key Advantages of the Golf and Sporting Equipment Benefit
When you choose to add the optional Golf and Sporting Equipment Benefit to an eligible Travel Guard® Direct travel insurance plan, it provides additional protection on top of the standard baggage protection in your plan for golfers and travellers carrying sports equipment.
Damage or Loss of Your Golfing Equipment
If the golfing equipment you bring or purchase on your trip is lost, stolen or accidentally damaged due to circumstances beyond your control, this benefit may help repair, replace or reimburse the item based on its value at the time of loss.
Hole-in-One Benefit
If you score a hole-in-one during an organised event at any 18-hole golf course while travelling, the plan may pay up to the benefit limit towards a round of celebratory drinks at the golf club. It’s our way of helping you mark a memorable achievement.
Green Fees, Rental Fees and Golf Coaching
If you’ve prepaid green fees, rented golf equipment or booked golf lessons but cannot use them due to a covered illness or injury. This benefit may reimburse eligible costs up to the limits in your plan.
