Physical Damage Coverage – This protects your ambulance from damages caused by your drivers.
Collision – This pays for any costs associated with that wreck.
Comprehensive – This pays for additional costs, like costs resulting from vandalism, fire, theft, or damage caused by animals.
General Liability – This covers your business from lawsuits resulting from someone getting hurt on your property.
How Insurance Companies Determine Price
If you’ve shopped for insurance for your non-emergency medical service before, you know that prices can vary widely. One reason not all policies cost the same is because companies calculate their prices differently. When a company or agent is looking at your information, they’re looking at a few things in particular:
- What coverages you want.
- Your location (urban or rural)
- How much area your service covers.
- The value of your ambulances, including their age, makes, and models.
- The driving records of all your drivers, including:
- their driving violations
- their previous claims
- how much experience they have.
