You're one bad day from an uncovered loss.

Van Security and Insurance

There's thousands of dollars of equipment parked on a residential street every night, and a coverage gap most groomers don't even know they have. Your personal auto policy probably won't pay for an accident that happens while you're working, and you find out the day you file. Protecting the van and closing that gap is cheap. The loss isn't.

Van Security and Insurance cover
Why it matters

One at-fault accident on the job and a personal auto policy can deny the whole claim, leaving you to cover the van, the gear, and the liability yourself. Most mobile groomers don't know they have the gap until they file. (Illustrative example.)

Is this you?

Who this is for
