Tow Truck & Wrecker Insurance

Towing operations face risks most commercial auto policies don't cover — from damage to vehicles on your hook to injuries during roadside recovery. Our agency provides specialized tow truck coverage that protects your trucks, your customers' vehicles, and your business from the unique liabilities that come with towing and recovery work.

Coverages we place

Who needs this coverage

Towing companies, wrecker services, roadside assistance providers, recovery operators, and auto clubs. Whether you run a single tow truck or a fleet of wreckers, you need tow-truck-specific coverage — standard commercial auto won't cover on-hook liability or garage keepers exposure.

Frequently asked questions

How much does tow truck insurance cost?

Tow truck insurance typically costs $5,000–$15,000 per truck per year depending on the type of towing (light-duty vs. heavy-duty wrecker), your claims history, and whether you do roadside recovery or just transport. We shop 15+ carriers to find the best rate.

What is on-hook coverage?

On-hook coverage (also called tow truck cargo insurance) protects vehicles that are being towed or transported on your truck. If a customer's vehicle is damaged while on your hook or flatbed, this coverage pays for the damage. It's essential for every towing operation.

Do I need garage keepers insurance?

If you store vehicles at your lot — even temporarily — you need garage keepers liability. It covers damage to customers' vehicles while they're in your care, custody, and control at your storage facility. Without it, you're personally liable for any damage.

Can new towing companies get insurance?

Yes. We work with carriers that accept new venture towing operations. Rates will be higher initially, but we help you build a coverage history and transition to lower-cost carriers as you establish your business.
