New Venture - Non-Emergency transporation

Postby meytai » Thu Apr 05, 2012 3:07 pm

Suggestions on markets for non-emergency transportation.. for mentally disabled persons.. it is a new venture.. so no loss runs available

Thanks in advance

Almost any Commercial Auto carrier will entertain this risk for the auto piece. For the CGL, you're probably looking surplus lines.

Thanks Lady..

I appreciate your responses.. for this one and others..

But i need like, a carrier that specializes in it and like.. gives good rates.. because i've got quotes already.. ranging from 15,000K to 5,000.. maybe i can narrow down my search by going to a specific carrier

Thanks

Be cautious of the "Loading & Unloading" part of this exposure. That's where the real loss exposure is.....and one that you want to make sure is covered.

Your quote range is what I would expect for this risk, for the Commercial Auto premium. Is your prospect balking at the premium ranges?

I think most preferred and standard carriers shy away from livery. Have you tried Northland Insurance? They're a specialty arm for Travelers.

Marmar - the risk will have to split, Auto and GL. Have you received any quotes yet? I have to say, I see new business submissions on this class all the time....this class, Limo services and Non Armed Security guards. IMHO, all three classes are a huge time waster, and have really high failure rates. Just my 2 cents, though....

If the van is owned and operated by the facility you can try Progressive. Titan might look at it as well.

I might be able to help with this. We've been writing a handful of these lately in CA at competitive rates...
