General Liability Insurance
Premises liability and slip-and-fall coverage for car wash owners — customer injuries on wet pavement, vacuum-area incidents, and third-party claims arising from the operation.

The four coverage lines a car wash program should carry.
General liability, garagekeepers, commercial property, and workers compensation are the core. Equipment breakdown, business income, pollution liability, and umbrella sit on top of those when the operation warrants.
Garagekeepers Liability Insurance
Customer auto damage coverage — the line that responds when your equipment scratches a vehicle, breaks a side mirror, or damages a car during the wash. The coverage that defines car wash insurance.
Learn more →Property Insurance
Building, car wash equipment, signage, and contents coverage. Protects against fire, severe weather, vandalism, equipment breakdown, and loss of business income when your bays go offline.
Learn more →Workers Compensation Insurance
Required by most states for attended car washes — chemical exposure, slip-and-fall on wet surfaces, equipment-related injuries, and lost wages. Class-code treatment is a frequent audit issue.

Depending on the operation, a car wash program may also include equipment breakdown (mechanical/electrical failure of conveyors, dryers, pumps, reclaim), business income / extra expense (revenue lost during a covered shutdown), pollution liability (soap, degreaser, wax, and clay runoff into stormwater infrastructure), cyber liability (POS skimmer attacks, customer card data, networked payment systems), and an umbrella sitting on top of the primary liability lines. We structure these as the exposure warrants — none of them belong on every car wash program by default.
