OK, thanks for playing. Here's the situation.
I am wintering in The Villages, a self-described "golf cart community"..
Many people here rent carts for the snowbird season. I'm one of them. However, it turns out that those who rent typically sign a waiver of liability, and acknowledge that they will get their own insurance.
Here's the catch: You can't get insurance on a cart rental. Not for the cart, nor for the liability. I have spoken with several agents, and a retired agent golfing buddy of mine. The stated reason is that you can't insure something you don't have "an insurable interest in".
So here's my question: Do I have an insurable interest in an automobile I rent?
I figure there must be more than a few retired insurance agents out there who can speak to this.
thanks, in advance.
