What are some recommended coverages for tow trucks?
Auto Liability
Auto liability can help you cover the damages that you’re legally obligated to pay if you injure someone or cause them property damage in a car accident.
Physical Damage
Collision coverage: Collision coverage can help you cover the costs of repairs if one of your wreckers or tow trucks is damaged in a car accident or by colliding accidentally with another object.
Comprehensive coverage: Comprehensive coverage can help you pay to repair your truck if it’s damaged by something other than a car accident. Typically it covers theft, vandalism, fire, and falling objects (like trees.)
Garage Liability
Garage liability covers your legal liability for the services your business provides. If your business’s services causes bodily harm or property damage to someone, garage liability can help you cover the expenses you’re legally obligated to pay.
On-hook/ In-tow
On-hook or in-tow coverage helps protect your client’s car as you’re towing it. If something happens to the vehicle while it’s being towed, on-hook can help.
Garagekeepers
Garagekeepers insurance can help protect your business while you have clients’ cars in your care, custody, and control. It covers losses like fire, vandalism, and theft. For example, if you have to bring a client’s car to your business’s property while you wait for their mechanic’s shop to open and there’s a fire, garagekeepers can cover it.
Wrongful Repo
Wrongful repo insurance protects your tow truck business if you do repossessions. If you repossess a car that you’re not supposed to or you improperly repossess a car, you could get in trouble. But wrongful repo can help you.
