What's different

Insuring Tow Trucks

Towing combines roadside danger with care of other people's vehicles. Texas licenses tow trucks through TDLR, and proof of insurance is part of the permit.

On-hook

Damage to the vehicle you are towing is not covered by liability. On-hook coverage is its own line.

Storage lots

Vehicles kept at your lot need garagekeepers coverage for theft, fire and weather.

Coverages to ask about
  • Primary Auto LiabilityInjury and property damage you cause to others. This is the coverage your authority and your contracts are built on.

  • Truckers General LiabilityClaims that happen off the road: at a dock, a yard, a job site, or from a delivery gone wrong.
  • Workers' CompensationCovers employees hurt on the job. Texas does not force private employers to carry it, but many contracts do.
  • Federal & Texas FilingsProof of insurance filed with the FMCSA and the Texas DMV once a policy is in force, so your authority stays active.

What insurance does Texas require for tow trucks?

TDLR sets liability and on-hook cargo minimums by permit type: incident management, private property and consent. We will check the current rule for your permit.

Is a car covered while it sits in my yard?

Only with garagekeepers coverage. On-hook stops when the vehicle is unhooked.
