San Francisco – September 24, 2026 -- Corgi Insurance has expanded its trucking insurance program to cover towing and tow-truck businesses, bundling three previously separate coverages into a single policy.

Corgi combines Auto Liability, On-Hook Coverage and Garage Keepers into one policy

The new towing program merges Auto Liability, On-Hook Coverage and Garage Keepers coverage under one carrier, eliminating the need for towing operators to source multiple policies across separate insurers.

Towing operators face liability for vehicles they transport and store, not just road risk

Unlike traditional freight haulers, tow trucks carry core exposure from handling, transporting and storing other people's vehicles rather than from road mileage alone. Josh Shih, Head of Underwriting at Corgi, said tow truck operators remain responsible for a customer's vehicle both while towing it and, in some cases, while it sits in their care.
