Bus Insurance

Automobile Rating manuals list the standard for liability and physical damage insurance coverage for all types of buses.

A hard to place plan in standard markets, insurance companies consider a number of factors before they issue a policy to buses.

This includes:

• Maximum amount of passengers
• Miles traveled per year
• Type of usage, i.e. urban city, airport, hotel, resort, school
  
  

Many US states mandate that insurance companies have minimum financial accountability limits in regard to the amount of passengers transported.

Bus Conversion Insurance

This type of insurance coverage is designed specifically for bands, entertainers, sports teams, and young people’s, religious and business groups that are transported to different localities and convert buses according to their individual needs. It is generally written by companies specializing in vehicles such as buses, RVs and motor homes.

These insurance companies customize coverage for converted buses so that they will be protected while on roadways and various locality stops gem.

Distinctive built-ins and accessories are bound into the coverage on a stated-value basis. Formalized interiors, lounge centers and dining and bedding accommodations, as well as computer systems and associated equipment can be included.
