You are covered from property damage lawsuits, and if you get sued for any reason, the insurance covers your legal fees. The insurance does not cover car accidents, employee-related incidents, and incidents that may occur when moving stuff from one location to another.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Any vehicle being used for business purposes requires commercial auto insurance alongside. The insurance protects from liabilities or damage that occur while the vehicle is on transit. The policy also protects your car from physical damage to items and units attached to your car through plumbing, gas lines, and bolts. In case someone gets injured or property damaged during transit, the insurance covers it. If you have been involved in a collision that damages the car and the fixed items, the insurance sorts it out. The insurance will not cover damage that happens to your catering truck while stationary.
Content insurance
The items in your catering truck that are not permanently fixed to the unit are covered under contents insurance. Business owners can decide if they want an actual cash value policy that offers the product’s cost minus depreciation or replacement cost value, which covers the price of a new product. This type of insurance covers stolen property, vandalized items, items spoiled by fire or weather, items damaged in a collision, and items not stored in the truck. The insurance does not cover items fixed to the truck.
