Georgia Tow Truck Insurance Requirements Georgia regulates tow truck operators through the Department of Public Safety and Motor Carrier Compliance Division. Key minimums include:

  • Commercial Auto Liability: $100,000 bodily injury per occurrence / $300,000 per accident, plus $50,000 property damage.
  • Garagekeepers Legal Liability (GKLL): At least $50,000 to cover stored or towed vehicles in your care (e.g., fire, theft, vandalism).

For interstate/for-hire tow trucks over 10,000 lbs GVWR, FMCSA requires $750,000 minimum liability (often $1M+ in practice). No strict state mandate for on-hook or full garagekeepers direct primary, but skipping them risks big out-of-pocket costs for towed vehicle damage. We help exceed minimums for true peace of mind in your tow truck business.

Essential Coverage Options for Georgia Tow Truck Companies Build a policy that fits your operations — from light-duty wreckers to heavy rollback fleets:

  • Liability Insurance — Covers bodily injury and property damage if your tow truck causes an accident. Includes premises risks during roadside work.
  • Garagekeepers Legal Liability — Protects customer vehicles in your care, custody, or control (storage lot, impound, or post-tow). Options include:
    • Direct Primary — Pays first for any damage (e.g., hail, collision) — most comprehensive.
    • Direct Excess — Pays after customer's insurance if needed.
    • Legal Liability — Covers only if negligence proven (cheapest but limited).
  • On-Hook Towing Insurance — Safeguards towed vehicles while hooked (theft, fire, collision during transport).
  • Physical Damage (Collision & Comprehensive) — Repairs or replacements for your tow truck from accidents, theft, weather, or vandalism.
  • Additional Protections — Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) for hit-and-runs; medical payments for driver/passenger injuries; customer's contents coverage for personal items in towed vehicles; roadside general liability for service-site incidents.

These coverages shield your tow truck companies from lawsuits, downtime, or financial hits — essential in Georgia's busy highways.
