While no one wants to entertain the possibility that they might wind up missing a connecting flight or otherwise be delayed in swinging their clubs on the green, when traveling with your sports equipment, a travel protection plan that covers golf equipment like your clubs, bags, and accessories may be best for you to protect lost or damaged equipment.
As the official travel insurance provider for the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches, Travel Insured knows something about helping golfers protect lost or damaged equipment.
This extra Benefit Bundle is budget-friendly and can be added to your existing travel protection to help protect your travel plans (and your clubs) from unexpected circumstances.
Baggage Bundles that cover your golf equipment
Golf equipment is an investment that most golfers—even those who may only occasionally have a chance to hit the green—can spend significant sums of time and money to ensure that they purchase the right equipment for their needs.
Specific clubs can be custom-fitted, limited-edition, or have immense nostalgic value, which can be reason enough to protect them from loss or damage while traveling.
For travelers bringing sports equipment on their trip, adding the Baggage Bundle for an additional cost to an existing Platinum Protection Plan will increase your baggage limits for lost or stolen baggage and includes travel protection that covers 100% of your trip in case of a covered trip cancellation.
Golf travel is growing fast!
A May 2024 article by the National Golf Foundation reported that the growing appetite for golf travel is tied to approximately 40% of the game’s overall economic impact—a staggering $40 billion annually.
Golf tourism is growing fast, and whether it’s a destination golf game, a getaway, or a new course, you can’t resist it. There’s no denying that more and more golf lovers are traveling for the game.
As with just about everything related to a successful travel experience, having a plan to cover unexpected delays, trip interruptions, illness, and lost or damaged sports equipment can help you avoid unexpected out-of-pocket expenses and avoid having to deal with them on your own.
Our travel protection offers continued support from an award-winning customer care team that can assist you wherever you are.
Platinum Protection for your clubs
In addition to Travel Insured’s Worldwide Trip Protector Platinum Plan with an added Baggage Bundle, we offer a few tips to protect your clubs and golf equipment.
Since golf clubs are vulnerable to damage and can suffer from dents or break accidentally during transit, it’s essential to do everything possible to protect them at all times.
Here are a few standard tips you can follow:
- Always pack your clubs properly and, if necessary, use extra headcovers.
- If you have played a course in wet weather, dry your gear to avoid water damage and rust.
- Before traveling, do a visual check on each club to ensure there’s no existing damage like dents or cracks.
- Secure your clubs and check that your bag is free of damage that would prevent it from protecting your equipment.
