Does Business Auto Insurance Cover my Vehicle Wraps in Cleveland?

Does Business Insurance cover my vehicle wraps in ClevelandWe get calls frequently from clients asking us if their business auto insurance will cover their vehicle wraps in Cleveland if they are damaged in an accident. Epic Signs and Graphics also receives calls asking us we can repair vehicle wraps. The answer to these questions is a resounding yes, but there are some initial tasks to complete prior to filing a claim.

Tell Your Insurance Carrier About Vehicle Wrap Additions

When your business vehicles are wrapped—whether it’s one, two or a fleet of vehicles—it’s essential to let your insurance carrier know about these additions. Just as you would add other aftermarket tools like radio systems or utility trailers, if the insurance company doesn’t know about them and an accident occurs, they may not be covered.

Once we add vehicle wraps to your Cleveland trucks SUVs, cars, minivans or work trailers, call your insurance broker immediately and let them know and be sure to fax them our invoice. This way they’ll have detailed information such as date of install, materials used and pricing in the event your auto wraps are damaged in an accident.

The Use of Your Wraps

In addition to providing the vehicle wraps cost, you may also want to inform them on how long you plan on keeping the wraps on your vehicles. Most last up to five years but if you are getting promotional wraps that you will use for a shorter period, say one or two years, they need to receive that information as well.

For brokers or agents that aren’t familiar with car wraps, be sure to tell them they are 100 percent removable and do help to protect the original manufacturer paint.

Don’t Forget Other Add-Ons!

  • Custom audio systems or work radios
  • Updated interior items such as upholstery changes
  • Modifications to your engine or transmission
  • Fuel saver add-ons
  • Anti-theft devices

The fuel saver add-ons or modifications and anti-theft devices may even qualify for a premium discount, so be sure to ask your broker.
