Frequently asked questions
Will a personal auto policy cover a food truck?
Personal auto policies generally are not designed for a commercial mobile food operation. Vehicle and business exposures should be insured appropriately.
Should events and catering be disclosed?
Yes. Event contracts, locations, attendance, alcohol, travel, and off-premises service can affect coverage needs.
Coverage descriptions are general. Eligibility, availability, limits, deductibles, valuation, exclusions, and policy terms vary by operation and insurance market. Actual policy documents control.
