What is Florida Garage Liability Insurance?

Garage liability insurance in Florida protects auto-related businesses such as repair shops, service stations, dealerships, and body shops from liability claims that arise during daily operations. Whether a customer slips in your waiting area or a vehicle is damaged during a test drive, this coverage helps shield your business from lawsuits, injuries, and property damage. It combines general liability coverage with protections specific to garage operations, making it essential for any business that handles, services, or stores customer vehicles.

What Does Garage Liability Insurance Cover in Florida?

Garage liability insurance typically includes:

  • Bodily Injury & Property Damage Liability: Covers third-party injuries or property damage caused by your business activities.

  • Products & Completed Operations: Protects you after a job is done—for example, if a faulty repair causes an accident.

  • Advertising Injury: Coverage for libel, slander, or copyright infringement related to your business advertising.

  • Medical Payments: Helps cover minor medical bills regardless of fault.

When Should Business Owners Purchase Garage Liability Insurance?

If your business involves working on, parking, or storing customer vehicles, garage liability insurance is a must—and often required by landlords, lenders, or licensing boards.

You should have this coverage in place if:


✔ You operate a repair shop, body shop, or tire service
✔ You run a used car lot or dealership
✔ Your business test-drives, services, or transports vehicles
✔ You have customers or vendors visiting your property
✔ Your landlord requires liability protection in your lease
