Workers Compensation Solutions for Automotive Dealerships
Insurance Program Managers Group (IPMG) offers a Workers Compensation program built specifically for new and used automotive dealerships. Whether your client runs a single-location franchise, an independent used-car lot, or a multi-state dealer group, IPMG provides underwriting expertise, access to multiple carriers, and hands-on service to help you place these accounts confidently.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program fits a wide range of dealership operations, including franchised and independent dealers selling new or used vehicles. IPMG accepts both established businesses and start-ups, making the program useful for agents working with growing or recently formed dealers.
Target classes include:
- New car dealerships
- Used car lots
- Buy-here-pay-here dealerships
- Dealers with service, repair, or detailing operations in-house
IPMG can also consider accounts with elevated experience modification ratings by placing through multiple markets and loss-sensitive options.
Example scenarios that typically fit: a three-location independent dealer with an in-house service bay and detail shop, or a start-up buy-here-pay-here lot with limited loss history seeking an affordable initial placement.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
IPMG focuses on flexible Workers Compensation solutions backed by carriers rated A- or better. The program emphasizes market choice and practical placement options to match a dealer’s operations and loss profile.
- Low minimum premium — starting at $500 in most states
- Access to multiple admitted and non-admitted markets for competitive pricing
- Options for high-mod and loss-sensitive accounts

Underwriting Requirements and Submission Guidelines
