What is Auto Hauler Insurance?
Auto hauler insurance, also known as car carrier insurance, is a specialized type of commercial auto designed for trucking companies that transport vehicles. This coverage protects against risks associated with loading, unloading, and transporting multiple vehicles at once.
Standard commercial truck insurance won’t cut it. Remember, you aren’t just covering your truck – you’re insuring all of the vehicles you’re hauling.
How Much Does Auto Hauler Insurance Cost?
Insurance for auto haulers can be expensive due to the value of the cargo and the potential for damage. In addition, driving record, garaging location, and the number of vehicles hauled can affect insurance cost.
The average cost of insurance is between $10,000 and $18,000. The more vehicles you haul, the more expensive the insurance policy.

What Coverage Do I Need?
Each state mandates a certain level of auto liability insurance. In addition, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration requires coverage for filings.
