​Just like needing insurance for your car, you need coverage for your flatbed and tow truck vehicles whether you own or lease them.
Tow truck insurance offers additional coverage by “On Hook Coverage” or damages to vehicles or watercraft being towed by one of your tow vehicles.
A tow truck insurance policy will also normally include liability coverage for personal and property damage and personal injury protection. In addition, the tow truck insurance will also provide collision and comprehensive coverage such as fire and theft. Coverage options vary by company, and so you need to make sure that you review these options carefully with your licensed insurance professional.
Make sure your tow truck insurance includes:

• Bodily injury liability. This is coverage for damages for which you are found responsible. Coverage limits up to $1,000, 000 are normally available.
• Property damage liability. This coverage is for damages for which you or your employees are found responsible. Coverage limits up to $1,000,000 are normally available.
• Personal injury. This coverage protects against lost wages, medical payments, and other expenses.
• Other coverage to be considered would include garage keepers insurance, which protects the business in the event of damage to a vehicle parked at your garage or lot. We mentioned on the hook coverage earlier in the article which also should be seriously considered. 
• Other options to discuss with your licensed insurance professional include collision, fire and theft, and other types of comprehensive coverage available to your towing business.
