Expert Q&A: How big should my insurance policy be?

Question:

How big should my insurance policy be?

Answer:

To bill the insurance companies for windshield repair, you must obtain a $500,000 general liability insurance policy. Often, general liability policies do not cover damage to the vehicle. So, we recommend discussing garage keeper’s coverage with your insurance agent. Determine if this add-on policy is right for you. Typically, it may be possible to use a garage keeper’s policy if damage occurred to the vehicle, whether by you or some other means, when it is in your care, custody, and control.
