Insurance for Ontario Snow Removal Professionals
Protect your business, employees, equipment, and reputation
Your business depends on your equipment and your ability to deliver for clients. Snow removal insurance helps protect your business from liability claims, equipment loss, and financial setbacks so you can focus on keeping roads safe and properties well-maintained.
What Does Snow Removal Business Insurance Cover?
The right coverage keeps your business protected every step of the way. Policies for snow removal businesses can be customized, and often include:
Commercial General Liability Insurance
Protects against claims of bodily injury or property damage, such as if someone suffers an injury from one of your vehicles.
Commercial Vehicle Insurance
Provides coverage for vehicles you and employees drive for work. Standard personal auto policies don’t protect you and your employees from accidents or vehicle damage that occurs while driving on the clock.
Commercial Property Insurance
Protects your snow removal business’ properties like offices, warehouses, garages and other storage facilities in the event of covered damage like a fire or break-in.
Hired and Non-Owned Vehicle Insurance
Provides coverage for vehicles you don’t own: For example, if you borrow, rent or lease, or your employees use personal vehicles for projects.
Business Interruption Insurance
Helps replace lost income if your business is temporarily unable to operate due to an insured event such as theft, vandalism or fire.
Equipment Insurance
Covers your equipment if it’s lost, stolen, or damaged—on-site, in transit, or in storage.
Equipment Breakdown Insurance
Covers equipment like computers in the case of internal breakdown covered under your policy.
Coverage that helps you clear with confidence.
