Connect the coverage to the operation
Garagekeepers coverage addresses covered physical damage to customers' vehicles in the dealership's care, custody, or control, subject to the selected form, causes of loss, limits, deductibles, and exclusions. The review should distinguish customer autos from inventory, owned vehicles, loaners, and demonstrators.
Exposures to discuss
- Fire, theft, vandalism, weather, or collision involving customer autos
- Vehicles stored inside, outside, or at secondary locations
- Road testing, pickup, delivery, valet, and after-hours custody
- Concentrated customer-vehicle values after a major event
Information to prepare
- Average and maximum number and value of customer vehicles
- Service, body shop, detailing, storage, towing, and valet activities
- Keys, gates, cameras, lighting, and overnight security
- Legal liability, direct primary, and direct excess form differences
Build a clearer submission
Accurate operational details, current values, loss history, and contract requirements help clarify the risk. Policy terms, limits, exclusions, eligibility, and availability vary by account and market.
