If a claim was brought against your garage, your insurance company might help cover any applicable legal defence costs, repair bills, or medical expenses.
- Garage Auto Insurance: As every parking garage is deemed to have taken care, custody and control of all vehicles parked on or in it garage auto liability insurance to cover the damage to vehicles while parked is a key coverage for all parking garages and paid parking lot operators.

It’s up to the policyholder to decide which perils to include in their policy. Some of the most common insured perils are water damage, fire, theft, windstorms, vandalism, and more.

Again, insured perils covered by business interruption insurance vary but can include theft, fire, vandalism, windstorms, water damage, etc.
