Coverage overview

Start with the business, then build the policy.

Businesses that sell, service, store, park, or tow vehicles can face both liability from their operations and responsibility for customer vehicles. Garage liability and garagekeepers cover different exposures, so the details of the operation and policy form matter.

Coverage descriptions are general and do not replace policy language. Availability, eligibility, limits, exclusions, and pricing depend on underwriting and the issued policy.

WOOT asks about the work, property, people, contracts, vehicles, and current insurance so the application reflects the actual risk.

Ask Evan about your business

What is the difference between garage liability and garagekeepers coverage?

Garage liability generally addresses covered liability arising from garage operations. Garagekeepers coverage can address certain covered damage to customer vehicles in the business’s care, custody, or control. Exact terms depend on the policy.

Does garagekeepers coverage automatically protect every customer vehicle?

No. Covered causes of loss, deductibles, limits, exclusions, valuation, and whether coverage is legal liability, direct excess, or direct primary must be reviewed.
