Why do limo businesses need insurance?

If a chauffeur shows up late, the result could be a lawsuit. Business insurance helps pay for legal costs from dissatisfied passengers. It also covers auto accidents, injuries, damaged property, and data breaches. Some policies, like auto insurance and workers' comp, may be required by law.

FAQs about commercial limo insurance

Review answers to common questions about limo insurance policies.

What are the limo insurance requirements in my state?

In almost every state, vehicles owned by a business must carry commercial auto insurance.

The policy must meet your state's minimum coverage requirements for bodily injury liability and property damage liability. Some states may require personal injury protection (PIP) or uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.

Limo services and other for-hire transportation businesses may have additional requirements based on the laws in their city, county, or other locality. Typically, this depends on:

  • Where you operate
  • Type of vehicle, such as stretch limo or taxi cab
  • The vehicle's seating capacity

For example, the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) mandates different amounts of minimum coverage for luxury limos, black cars, and other for-hire vehicles, depending on the type of vehicle and how many passengers it holds.

How do I find affordable commercial insurance for limo service?

A small limo company with low risks doesn't have to pay a lot for insurance. Here are a few ways to save money on insurance:

  • Comparison shopping. Insurance companies often charge different rates for the same coverage. Fill out our easy online application to compare limo insurance quotes before buying a policy.
  • A higher deductible. Increasing your deductible is an easy way to save money. Remember, you need to pay the deductible in full before you can benefit from your coverage.
  • Lower policy limits. Policies with lower limits typically cost less. Make sure it's still an amount that could cover a lawsuit, since your provider will only cover claims up to the policy's limits.
  • Annual payments. You can choose between monthly and annual premium payments, with a discount usually offered when you pay the full annual amount.
  • No unnecessary options. The right policy covers your risks, without offering coverage you don't need. For example, you can save money on car insurance by skipping comprehensive coverage, which covers physical damage from falling branches, collisions with deer, and other uncommon incidents.

Keep in mind that the cheapest policy isn't necessarily the best choice for your business. A single lawsuit could bankrupt your business without the right insurance protection.
