Garagekeepers Insurance That Protects Every Vehicle in Your Care

When a customer hands you their keys—or you tow a vehicle onto your lot—you become responsible for what happens next. Garagekeepers Insurance protects customer vehicles while they’re in your care, custody, or control, whether stored indoors, outdoors, or held for repair.

This coverage is essential for towing companies, roadside assistance providers, auto repair shops, auto body shops, and any business that temporarily stores or works on customer vehicles.

With rising claims costs, vehicle complexity, and customer expectations, having the right protection keeps your business compliant, financially secure, and trusted by the people you serve.
