Insurance Costs - Start Up Mover

January 1, 2016 at 11:45 AM
Share

Horton specializes in working with moving companies that have 20+ trucks on the road, but we do understand that there are a lot of entrepreneurs in the business looking to start up and aren’t quite there yet.

In hopes that one day your business will grow to that size, we’ll give you a few insights as to the coverage that movers typically purchased and the approximate cost of policies for a start up. Please understand that the cost of the policies does vary widely based on many factors (geography, moving experience, claim experience, financial stability, age of vehicles and property, sales volume, radius of operation, values, etc.).

Policy Type

Approximate Cost

Coverage Description*

Auto Liability / Physical Damage

$2,000 Per Straight Truck

Bodily Injury or Property Damage caused by your vehicles, along with the damage to your own vehicles

General Liability

$1,500

Bodily Injury or Property Damage caused by your employees/business, such as scratched hardwood floors or a bad appliance connection

Umbrella/Excess Liability

$2,000 per $1mm of Coverage

Provides additional limits of liability, typically tapped into for Auto Liability, but can also be used for General Liability (NOT for Cargo or Warehouse Legal Liability)

Cargo Legal Liability

$2,000

Damage to your customer’s goods while in transport, loading, or unloading

Warehouse Legal Liability

$2,000

Damage to your customer’s goods while in storage (premium will fluctuate based on value of goods stored)

Workers Compensation

$10-$20 per $100 of Payroll ($100k Payroll = $10k-$20k premium)

Pays for medical expenses and lost wages when an employee gets injured on the job

Property

$500

Damage to your own property (office furnishings, buildings, etc. – Based on value of your property)

Total Cost

Typically ~ $15k-$20k a year

Completely depends on what you purchase and what you’re insuring
