Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Fuel Dealers need insurance?
This industry consists of establishments that are involved in selling fuel, such as alternative fuels, bottled gas, coal, heating oil, and liquefied petroleum gas.
Fuel dealers sell and deliver fuel, propane, and kerosene to homes and commercial establishments. Your business ensures safe and timely delivery to your customers. But this doesn’t always go exactly as planned. When a disaster or other risk strikes it can result in very expensive fees that could drain not just your business but your personal assets too.
Your insurance will make sure that your business and personal assets are protected by paying for covered risks, like a liability lawsuit, until it has reached its limits. All you have to do is pay a low monthly fee.
