Coverage for the vehicles you sell.
Dealerships large and small have significant inventory that can often carry a high value. Not only is there risk of the vehicles being damaged by fire or other weather events, vehicles can be stolen from your lot. You also face the risk that someone could attempt to buy from or sell to you a vehicle under false pretenses. Understanding the different ways your inventory can suffer loss will lead to understanding the coverage you need.

What is garagekeepers coverage?
Garagekeepers coverage offers protection when you take someone’s vehicle into your care, custody, or control. For example, if visitors leave their own vehicle on your premises while taking a prospective new vehicle for a test drive or while negotiating a trade-in, you may be legally required to have garagekeepers coverage. This protects against damage to the visitor’s car, including theft or vandalism.
The business side of dealership insurance.
Don’t forget to make sure your insurance covers more general business elements such as general liability for visitors to your premises, workers’ compensation for staff, and coverage against discrimination claims and other human resources risks with employment practice liability insurance.
