Frequently asked questions
Why can a car wash need Garagekeepers coverage?
If the business has customers' vehicles in its care, custody, or control, Garagekeepers coverage may address certain covered physical-damage claims subject to the actual form, limits, deductibles, and exclusions.
Why is Equipment Breakdown important?
Pumps, conveyors, electrical controls, boilers, compressors, dryers, payment systems, and water-treatment equipment can be essential to revenue and may require protection beyond ordinary property coverage.
