State of Kentucky Dealership Insurance Requirements 

The Commonwealth of Kentucky Motor Vehicle Commission requires Garage Liability Insurance at a minimum of $250,000 per person, $500,000 per occurrence and property damage at $250,000. 

Along with the Garage Liability requirements the State of Kentucky requires a surety bond in the amount of $25,000.

What is Garage Liability Insurance?

Garage Liability is a specialized insurance program designed for Dealerships and Repair Shops. What makes it specialized is both Dealerships and Repair Shops deal with autos. A normal General Liability insurance policy has exclusions against auto, whereas Garage Liability does not have all the exclusions from auto.

The Garage Liability policy can be broken down into three areas. 

1. Auto - Auto works just like a personal auto insurance policy does by providing liability coverage to others in the event of an at-fault accident with one of the dealership vehicles.
2. Other than Auto - Refers to slip and falls on the dealership or repair shop lot.
3. Aggregate - The aggregate is the most the insurance company is willing to pay in a policy period.

Other Coverage Options

• Dealer Open Lot (DOL) or Dealer Physical Damage - DOL provides coverage against loss such as theft or an accident to the dealership inventory. For example, your dealership has 10 cars on the lot and a tornado damages the inventory. DOL would step in to provide coverage to the loss inventory.
• Garage Keepers - Garage Keepers is designed for repair shops or dealerships that have a service side to the business. It provides financial protection against losses when you are in the care, custody and control of a customer's vehicle.
• Workers Compensation - If you have employees you need to protect your business from financial losses associated with an employee being injured on the job.
• Commercial Property - If your dealership owns a building then commercial property insurance is available to protect against losses.
• Business Person Property (BPP) - BPP is for items owned by the dealership such as computers and office furniture.
• Cyber Liability - Theft of customer information by cyber criminals is increasing at an alarming rate. You can protect your business against financial losses associated with cyber theft by buying a Cyber Liability Policy.
