Insurance for Professional Passenger Operations
What Is Livery Insurance?
Livery insurance is commercial auto coverage designed for businesses and drivers who transport passengers for compensation. It accounts for passenger exposure, professional driving, vehicle use, operating territory, service contracts, and regulatory requirements.
The term can apply to several types of passenger transportation. A luxury black-car operation, taxi company, limousine service, medical transportation provider, and airport shuttle may all need commercial passenger coverage, but they are not insured or classified in exactly the same way.
The most important first step is identifying your exact passenger service. Selecting the correct operation helps prevent delays with quotes, permits, contracts, and insurance filings.
