Question 1

Why do you need garage automobile insurance?

Accepted Answer

Garage automobile insurance policies provide a special type of coverage for businesses in which customers’ vehicles are left in your “care and control”. Did you know that your customers’ personal auto insurance policy excludes coverage for damage caused by a garage while their vehicle is being worked on? Think about this for a moment – if one of your employees crashes a customers’ vehicle in the process of test driving it following a repair, you would be liable. A garage automobile insurance policy is designed to meet this unique need. It covers liability exposures for damage for non-owned automobiles and extends to any of your active partners or employees that you list on your application for insurance. The coverage can be expanded to include owned automobiles as well.
