Insurance is a huge word. It incorporates people's fears, hopes, and dreams. Insurance can mean the difference between being successful, and being out on the street. Insurance can also mean a-lot of stress as you try to find the perfect fit for you.
Insurance for tow trucks is no different. Your tow trucks need to be insured so that you can have peace of mind. In fact, almost everything you own can and should be insured. If your house were to burn down, wouldn't you want to have house insurance? Your tow truck is no different. It has an engine, a transmission, millions of electronics, and many other things that can fail. That failure can then lead to you getting in a wreck, where insurance is a necessary thing. The insurance company will then fix all of your problems and then you will be on your way, which leads to a great point.
You may feel comfortable financially, or you may be trying to save a few bucks. Either way, you need to find the best fit insurance company for you. Insurance for tow trucks is a complicated thing. Ask questions, make sure that specifics you are worried about are covered by the insurance company. If you've had issues with falling asleep at the wheel before, make sure that your insurance company covers damage due to falling asleep at the wheel. Maybe you've had issues with road rage. Make sure that's covered! Insurance companies vary greatly. Some charge more and offer better service. Some charge more and offer bad service. Some charge less and offer just the kind of service you want. The insurance company you should pick just depends on the context of your life. In other words, if you're trying to save money make sure that the discount company you choose has a good rep and covers things you're worried about. If you aren't trying to save money, pick a good company that won't cheat you out of your hard earned cash.
Oftentimes people will risk having no insurance. Not only is this illegal, it's scary! Say you were towing a car that slipped off the bed of your truck, which then runs into the car that is tailing you. How are you going to pay for both the car you dropped due to lack of attention, and the car behind you? You may even end up damaging your own tow truck, so you'll have to pay for 3 separate vehicles. I don't need to tell you that is going to be very expensive. It may even drive you out of business. Plus, if you get pulled over, you'll get in trouble with the law. So not only are you in danger of losing your business if you don't have insurance, you'll risk going to jail. It's not worth it, especially because there are options out there for even the cheapest minded persons.
Insurance for tow trucks is ridiculously important. Don't be caught without it!
