How does Petrol Station Insurance work?
Petrol station insurance does what it says on the tin; it provides coverage and protection for the specific risks and liabilities associated with operating a petrol station to their owners. Here at Howden, we understand the many risks involved in this multi-faceted sector, from the storage of fuel, the risk of fire, 24-hour trading and the high level of customer footfall.
We can provide comprehensive insurance cover designed specifically to meet the needs of the modern-day petrol station, whether that’s a single petrol station, a multi-site operator or a franchise. Ultimately, we don’t discriminate, and our experienced team can advise you on the level of cover that’s right for your petrol station business.
You can create a petrol station commercial combined insurance package that caters best for your business. Your package could include the following types of cover:
- Building and contents
- Stock in trade including fuel
- Business interruption
- Public and employers liability
- Money
- ATMs
- Goods in transit
- Personal accident
- Commercial legal expenses
Even if you’re struggling to decide what your policy needs to provide cover for, don’t worry, we can help. We take the time to get to know you and your business and tailor your cover according to your company’s individual risk profile.
Our team of industry specialists will also act as consistent points of contact for your petrol station policy, meaning whether you need to make a claim or simply ask us a couple questions, you’ll know that you’ve got the support you need.
