Everything you want to know about Insurance

Food cart insurance requirements

Food carts are almost always required to have insurance due to the risk of injury to customers and damage to property. You might need insurance to:

  • Start selling food from your cart. Property owners and local governments might ask you to have active insurance — usually general liability or workers’ compensation.
  • Hire employees. Most states require workers’ compensation.
  • Drive for business purposes. Business-owned vehicles typically need commercial auto insurance.
  • Repair or replace property you own or rent. Protect your inventory, equipment and even the building that you lease or own.

Resources for food cart owners

We know there are hundreds of things to keep track of when you run a food service business, so we’ve curated these helpful checklists and tips for food cart owners to protect and grow your business.

Frequently asked questions about business insurance

Here are some of the most common questions we get about commercial insurance for food carts, including mobile food cart insurance. If you don’t find the answers you need here, our licensed, U.S.-based insurance advisors are standing by to help via online chat or phone.

How does business insurance protect food carts?

Our affordable food cart insurance packages are designed to protect your business from a variety of risks and help you save money to grow your business. You’ll be protected from financial losses related to:

Damage to someone’s property

You miscalculated the height of an awning and ripped it down with your food truck. The general liability coverage in your insurance package would help pay for a replacement.

Accidents that hurt someone

Your cart’s wheel goes over a customer’s foot and fractures a toe. Your food cart general liability coverage would also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.

Workplace injuries

You trip over a large crack in a sidewalk and sprain your ankle. Workers’ compensation coverage with business owner’s coverage can help cover medical bills and lost wages. Workers’ comp is usually required by law if you have employees.

Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles

Your food cart rolls into a parked car and dents the rear bumper. Commercial auto coverage will help pay for the repairs. This coverage is also usually required by law for business-owned vehicles.

Damage to your own property

A fire in your storage space leaves your food cart unusable. Commercial property insurance can help with replacement or repair costs if your owned or leased property is damaged due to a covered event, such as a burst water pipe, fire, tornado or vandalism.
