Additional food and catering business insurance coverages are available, where applicable, such as:

  • Personal injury protection (PIP) – Helps pay for medical expenses for you and your passengers, regardless of fault
  • Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) – Offers protection if you’re hit by someone with no insurance or too little coverage
