Golf buggy insurance is not mandatory if you do have a buggy and are using it whilst playing golf. However just like any other insurance product, it can cover you for unexpected expenses if your buggy is lost, damaged or stolen.

Standard golf insurance plan includes public liability cover which will cover you if you injure someone with your buggy. It won't cover the vehicle itself if it is damaged though.
