When can insurance for passenger transport services come to your rescue?
If a collision, breakdown, or other mishap disrupts your trip, there’s a lot riding on your insurance coverage.
Your policy needs some key features that address the major risks passenger transport services face every day, starting with the following coverages.
When a passenger’s problem is a problem for your business
If you have passengers going in and out of your vehicles often, you could be more prone to liability issues. Take for instance a school bus operator shuttling kids to and from their day camp. One rainy afternoon, a slew of dirty sneakers track mud over your front steps, and a camper slips and falls while getting off the bus. Now irate parents are threatening legal action – but your CGL coverage will help you with legal expenses if your business is found liable for the injury.
Protect your vehicles when you’re not behind the wheel
Do employees or volunteers use your vehicles for business? As the business owner, you’re generally responsible for their negligence if they’re operating on behalf of your organization. Fortunately, auto fleet liability can cover your vehicles – and your business – if something were to go wrong while your staff is behind the wheel.
What about what’s inside your car, bus, or limo?
Imagine your specialty bus is outfitted with all the bells and whistles to transport wedding guests to the venue in style, but the revelers let loose en route, damaging the audio equipment and newly upholstered furnishings. You may be out a good deal of money, but a commercial property policy could help cover the cost of the damages, including repair or replacement.
What can a broker do for me?
An insurance broker can be your greatest asset when it comes to finding the right insurance policy. A broker brings a wealth of insurance expertise, product knowledge, and personalized service to the table, working to protect your company and your peace of mind.
