◆ Coverage for Passenger Operators

Coverage built around carrying people

Passenger transport is a different risk from freight. Bodily injury exposure is higher, contracts and permits often set required limits, and one claim can threaten the whole business. The right package keeps you compliant and protected.

◆ Requirements

What affects your limits and filings

Requirements for passenger carriers depend on how you operate, so there is no single answer.

What usually decides your requirements:
  • Vehicle seating capacity: larger vehicles generally carry higher required limits.
  • Interstate vs. intrastate: crossing state lines can bring federal FMCSA rules and filings.
  • State and local permits: many states and cities set their own insurance minimums for limos and shuttles.
  • Contracts: schools, hotels, airports and event clients often require specific limits and additional insured status.

Rules and limits vary and can change. We confirm what applies to you before you bind. This page is general information, not a compliance determination.

◆ Passenger Transport FAQ

Passenger transport insurance, answered

What insurance does a passenger transport business need?

Most operators start with commercial auto liability for the vehicles that carry passengers, plus physical damage for the vehicles themselves and general liability. Depending on the operation, coverage for hired and non-owned autos, workers' compensation and umbrella limits may also be needed.

Are limits different for limousines, shuttles and buses?

Yes. Required liability limits depend on the vehicle seating capacity, whether you cross state lines, and local or state permits. Charters and contracts often require higher limits than the legal minimum. We confirm what applies to your operation before you bind.

Do you insure airport shuttles and executive car services?

Yes. We review the operation, vehicles, drivers and radius to find coverage for shuttles, airport transfers, limousines, sedans and charter vehicles.

Do you offer service in Spanish?

Yes. Quotes, service and claims support are available in both English and Spanish.
