Vehicle Dealer Insurance
Are you unnecessarily exposing your Auto or RV Dealership to liability? Maybe you’re a wholesale auto dealer. If you are not insuring your dealership appropriately, you may be putting your business and your very livelihood at risk. SL Specialty Insurance offers several coverage types through multiple insurance companies to keep your business in the clear.
Whether you are operating a new franchise RV dealership, used car dealership, buy-here-pay-here car lot, or a wholesaler working from home, you want to be sure that your business has the ultimate in protection. Most states require that all registered vehicles be insured, yet the vehicles on most dealers’ lots are not yet registered. Legally, the dealership is the owner, although most cars will switch hands quickly. Dealers need to purchase insurance that will protect them from liability. This means that the vehicles and the premise will be protected.
Most independent auto dealers opt for dealer policies that will cover incidents that might arise from accidents during a test drive, or when an employee or the owner causes an accident in one of the vehicles owned by the dealership. These types of insurance policies can also protect you from theft, flood, fire, and other damage like hail or wind.
In general, as a dealer looking for complete coverage, you should consider insurance to cover these basic scenarios:
- Vehicles that you own
- Vehicles consigned to your business
- Vehicles that are on your premises for repairs
- Loaner vehicles that you loan out to customers
- Vehicles that you have recently acquired
- Vehicles that are driven for business by your employees
- Vehicles that customers test drive
- Customer vehicles driven by employees
Our agency offers specialized insurance policies that are designed just for the unique coverage needs of Auto and RV dealers. We partner with several different top-rated insurers to ensure that you get the right level of insurance for your needs, based on your past experience and your current needs and most states expect car dealerships to maintain a separate policy for business purposes.
Applying for coverage is a simple, easy and brief process. We interview each customer individually so we can better assess your concerns and help you address any potential liability issues to which your business is currently exposed. This also gives us a chance to understand what you want from your dealer insurance program.
