Commercial Auto Insurance for Karting Operations
Covers the vehicles and trailers that keep the track running.
Liability and physical-damage coverage for the trucks, vans, and trailers your karting business owns, uses to haul karts, or shuttles guests with.
Commercial auto covers the vehicles your karting business relies on off the track — the pickup and trailer that haul karts to a league or offsite event, the shuttle van that moves birthday-party groups, the box truck for supplies, and any owned or hired vehicles used in operations. It provides liability protection if one of those vehicles causes an accident, plus physical-damage coverage for the vehicles and trailers themselves. Personal auto policies exclude business use and will deny a claim involving a work vehicle, so a commercial auto policy is essential once vehicles are part of the operation. We also address hired and non-owned auto (HNOA) for the times an employee runs an errand in their own car on company business — a gap that surprises many owners. Coverage is coordinated with your general liability so on-premises and on-the-road exposures are both handled.

Frequently asked
Can't I just use my personal auto policy for my work truck?
No. Personal auto policies exclude regular business use and will typically deny a claim involving a vehicle used for your karting operation. A commercial auto policy is the coverage that actually responds to business-vehicle losses.
What is hired and non-owned auto coverage?
HNOA protects your business when an employee drives a rented vehicle or their own personal car for company purposes — like picking up parts or making a bank run. Without it, your business can be exposed to a claim from an accident in a vehicle you don't even own.
Are my kart trailers covered?
Yes. Trailers used to haul karts can be covered for both liability and physical damage. We make sure enclosed transporters and open trailers are properly scheduled so a transit loss is covered.
