Warehousing and transportation involve financial risks that standard business policies may not fully cover. Damage to a storage facility, stolen inventory, or a collision involving a commercial vehicle can lead to major expenses. Liability is another concern, covering legal and financial responsibility if a business is held accountable for injuries, damages, or losses. The right insurance provides coverage for property, cargo, and liability, helping businesses recover from these events. Below is a breakdown of insurance options for warehouses and commercial vehicles.
Warehouse insurance covers risks like property damage, inventory loss, and liability. Liability coverage applies when a business is legally responsible for injuries, damages, or losses that occur on-site or due to warehouse operations. The right policy depends on factors such as storage type, facility size, and business use. We help businesses compare coverage options, including protection for buildings, equipment, and goods in storage or transit. Learn more about warehouse insurance.
If your business relies on commercial vehicles, the right insurance may help protect you from financial risks. Whether you drive a truck, run a fleet, or operate as an independent contractor, different policies cover different situations. Below is a breakdown of the most common commercial auto insurance options and what they protect against.
For businesses that own or operate semi-trucks and trailers. This policy helps cover damage to your truck, injuries from accidents, and the cost of damage caused to others. It can also include coverage for cargo in case of loss or damage during transit. Learn more about 18-wheeler insurance.
For Amazon sellers using their own vehicles to transport and deliver goods. Protects against damages to your vehicle, injuries from accidents, and potential claims if a package is lost, stolen, or damaged in transit. Learn more about Amazon seller insurance.
Covers truckers who drive without a trailer attached. Regular commercial truck insurance often only applies when hauling cargo—bobtail insurance fills in the gaps, covering accidents and liability when driving off-duty or between jobs. Learn more about commercial bobtail insurance.
Box trucks are commonly used for deliveries and freight transport. This insurance covers damage to the truck, cargo, and potential claims from accidents involving other people or property. Learn more about commercial box truck insurance.
Required for those with a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Helps cover costs if you’re involved in an accident while operating a vehicle for work, including injuries, vehicle damage, and legal fees if another party files a claim against you. Learn more about commercial CDL insurance.
For businesses using cars, vans, or trucks for work purposes. Covers accidents, damage to company vehicles, medical costs if someone is injured, and liability if your vehicle causes damage to another person’s property. Learn more about commercial auto insurance.
Designed for businesses with multiple vehicles. Instead of separate policies for each, fleet insurance covers all company vehicles under one plan, protecting against accidents, theft, and damage. Learn more about commercial fleet insurance.
Trailers used for hauling goods can be expensive to replace. This insurance covers damage to your trailer from accidents, theft, or vandalism and helps with liability claims if it causes damage to another vehicle or property. Learn more about commercial trailer insurance.
A broad policy for businesses that operate trucks for hauling goods. Covers vehicle damage, injuries from accidents, and liability if your truck causes harm to others. Cargo coverage is often included or available as an add-on. Learn more about commercial truck insurance.
For businesses using vans for deliveries, transport, or mobile services. Covers repair costs if your van is damaged and liability if your vehicle is involved in an accident that harms someone else or their property. Learn more about commercial van insurance.
Dump trucks transport heavy loads like gravel, dirt, and debris. This policy covers damage to the truck, accidents caused by falling materials, and liability if your truck damages roads or property. Learn more about commercial dump truck insurance.
Flatbed trucks carry oversized or heavy loads that are harder to secure. This insurance helps cover damages if cargo falls off, accidents caused by shifting loads, and liability for injuries or property damage. Learn more about commercial flatbed insurance.
Hot shot trucking involves urgent deliveries, often with smaller, specialized loads. This policy covers damage to the vehicle, liability from accidents, and cargo losses due to theft or mishandling. Learn more about commercial hot shot insurance.
For truckers driving long distances, often across state lines. Covers vehicle damage, accident-related medical costs, and liability for harm caused to others. It can also include cargo protection to cover lost or damaged shipments. Learn more about commercial long-haul insurance.
Tow trucks are at risk of accidents while hauling disabled vehicles. This policy covers damage to the tow truck, liability if a vehicle is damaged while being towed, and potential legal claims if an accident occurs during transport. Learn more about commercial tow truck insurance.
For trucking businesses operating under their own authority instead of contracting with larger carriers. Covers liability, cargo protection, and financial risks related to regulatory compliance and accident claims. Learn more about commercial trucking authority insurance.
Standard business property insurance only covers items at a fixed location, leaving gaps when goods, equipment, or materials are in transit or stored off-site. Inland Marine Insurance was originally designed for cargo transported over inland waterways but has since expanded to cover a wide range of moveable property. Businesses that transport tools, machinery, or high-value goods between locations rely on this coverage to protect against loss, theft, or damage. Learn more about inland marine insurance.
