What does on-hook/in-tow liability cover?
Like we mentioned above, on-hook/in-tow insurance can protect your business if something happens to a client’s car while it’s being towed. To better explain, we’ll illustrate with a few examples.
Example One:
You’re a tow truck driver and you get a call that someone’s broken down on the side of the road and needs a tow. You find the driver and shake their hand, then get the car loaded onto your tow truck. You head off to the driver’s favorite mechanic. Everything is going great until you get distracted by a commotion on the other side of the road and run a red light. You get into an accident and the client’s car is crushed. Fortunately, everyone is okay and no one is hurt. You feel a brief surge of panic, but then realize that your on-hook insurance can help you.
Example 2:
You get a call to tow a car - an expensive car. You hook up the car, drive away, and make it to your destination safely. You breathe a sigh of relief and hop out of the cab of the tow truck to unload the car. But the car does not want to cooperate, and it rolls away from you...and straight into a telephone pole. The car suffers a good amount of damage. Naturally the telephone pole is completely fine. Fortunately your on-hook insurance could help you cover the costs of repairing the clients’ car. That definitely helps you explain the situation to the client.
Am I required to have on-hook insurance?
You may be required to carry a certain level of on-hook insurance. If there is a requirement, that means you need to have at least that much insurance in order to operate your business. Each state has their own insurance requirements, so you need to make sure you’re satisfying your state’s laws.
