What Vermont businesses need home cleaning insurance?
Most businesses that offer residential cleaning services in Vermont should consider home cleaning insurance. This includes both individuals and businesses that perform the work.
Not carrying insurance can leave an individual or business unnecessarily exposed to risk, and home cleaning insurance tends to be the most appropriate insurance for residential cleaning services.
Do residents who clean family and friends’ houses need home cleaning insurance?
Insurance generally isn’t necessary when cleaning another person’s house as a favor, so long as money or other compensation doesn’t change hands. Insurance likely is needed if the services are paid for, though, and that’s true even if the person paying is a family member or close friend.
An insurance agent who specializes in home cleaning insurance can help residents determine whether insurance is needed in a particular situation.
What coverage do house cleaning policies make available?
House cleaning policies normally offer multiple protections by bundling coverages together. Some of the coverages that might get bundled into a policy include:
- General Liability Coverage, which might cover basic accidents resulting in injuries to others or damage to their homes
- Professional Liability Coverage, which might cover errors that result in significant property damage to a home
- Commercial Auto Coverage, which might cover company-owned or personal vehicles driven to/from houses
- Commercial Umbrella Coverage, which might cover large lawsuits with an extra layer of protection
- Commercial Property Coverage, which might cover equipment, supplies and any company-owned facility
- Inland Marine Coverage, which might cover equipment and supplies as they’re transported to/from houses
There are still more coverages that policies can provide. An informed insurance agent can walk home cleaners through all of the protections that they can have included in a policy.
Do home cleaners need commercial auto insurance for their personal vehicles?
Home cleaners sometimes need commercial auto insurance when they’re driving a personal vehicle to/from client houses. Whether commercial coverage is needed depends largely on their personal auto policy’s terms.
Some personal auto policies offer coverage when a personal vehicle is driven for work, especially if the work driving is for the policyholder’s business. Other personal policies don’t offer coverage like this, either as a standard or an optional protection.
If coverage isn’t included in a personal auto policy, then a commercial auto policy probably should be purchased.
