Numerous unexpected challenges can arise when dealing with used vehicles. From advertising liability to inventory protection and employee safety, a used car dealership faces a wide array of exposures that require targeted, comprehensive coverage. Used Car Dealer Insurance Program from Pacific Coast E&S At Pacific Coast E&S Insurance Services, we provide tailored insurance solutions for independent (non-franchised) used car dealerships and on-site repair operations. Many standard carriers avoid these risks because of the potential for large losses; as a wholesale broker we place business with specialty markets that will write these classes. Our underwriting team focuses on practical, flexible coverage options that help agents place accounts other carriers decline. Target Accounts and Ideal Risks • Used automobile and truck dealers • Motor home and RV dealerships • Motorcycle and powersports dealers • Golf cart and neighborhood electric vehicle dealers • Independent electric vehicle sellers This program fits independent, non-franchised dealers that may operate modest service or repair facilities on site and that keep inventory on secured lots. We also consider small dealers who provide limited towing for their own operations. Example fits: you might have a client who runs a small used-car lot in California with a basic mechanical bay on-site, or an independent electric golf-cart retailer in Washington with a fenced, gated lot. These are the types of risks we commonly place. Coverage Highlights • Garage Liability with 3× aggregate limits • Broadened General Liability endorsements to address premises and operations exposures • Medical Payments — up to $5,000 • Standard Property coverage packages for buildings, contents and inventory • Rating credits for protected or secured lots (fencing, lighting, surveillance) • Scheduled Auto coverage — up to 5 vehicles on the policy • Optional Tow Truck coverage when towing is limited to the insured’s own operations These features are designed to protect dealers from customer injury, third-party property damage, inventory loss, and common garage exposures encountered in retail vehicle operations. Underwriting Considerations Secured lots or indoor storage are preferred and may receive rating credits. Tow truck coverage is acceptable only when towing is restricted to in-house use (inventory movement, customer service related to sales/repairs). We favor accounts with a clean loss history and straightforward, well-documented operations. Minimum premiums and final terms vary by account size, location, and exposures; underwriters will work with agents to find appropriate solutions for each submission. Service Area and Admitted Status This program is currently available in: California Oregon Washington Some admitted paper options are available depending on the jurisdiction and risk characteristics. Contact our team to confirm admitted availability for a given account. Why Partner with Pacific Coast E&S? As a wholesale broker specializing in commercial auto and garage risks, Pacific Coast E&S connects agents with markets that many standard carriers will not consider. Our underwriters understand the nuances of used-vehicle operations and work collaboratively with brokers to structure coverages that match the insured’s real exposures. We provide practical underwriting guidance, flexible options for small fleets and scheduled autos, and rating credit opportunities for secured sites. If you need help placing a challenging used car dealer account, connect with a market specialist for a full risk assessment and quote. Frequently Asked Questions What types of accounts are a good fit for this program?Non-franchised used car and truck dealers, motorcycle and RV dealers, electric vehicle and golf cart retailers, and similar small retail operations — especially those with limited on-site repair shops or towing for in-house use. Is tow truck coverage included?Tow truck coverage can be added when towing is performed exclusively for the insured’s operations, such as moving inventory or servicing customer vehicles sold by the dealer. Are there specific lot requirements to qualify?Yes. We prefer secured lots and offer rating credits for properties with fencing, lighting, surveillance, or indoor storage. Risk controls that reduce theft and vandalism will help placement and pricing. Is this program available on an admitted basis?Some admitted options are available in select states. Admitted availability depends on the risk profile and underwriting guidelines — reach out to confirm for a specific account. What states is this program offered in?This program is offered in California, Oregon, and Washington. Need help placing an account? Connect with a market specialist.

Policy Highlights: Colonial General Insurance Agency, Inc. offers a dedicated Driving Range Insurance program to help independent agents place coverage for public and private golf operations — including outdoor and indoor driving ranges, miniature golf, country clubs, and pro shop operations. This program is delivered through Colonial General as a managing general agency and excess & surplus lines broker with access to multiple markets (carriers vary). Overview of the Program from Colonial General This Driving Range Insurance program combines property, liability, crime and inland marine solutions on a monoline or packaged basis. It is designed for driving-range-focused operations that need tailored limits, ancillary coverages (golf carts, bailee’s coverage for pro shops, equipment breakdown), and excess/umbrella capacity. Admitted options are available in some markets; non-admitted E&S placement is supported where appropriate. Ideal Accounts and Appetite Public and private driving ranges (indoor and outdoor) Country clubs and golf courses with range facilities Miniature golf courses and entertainment complexes with limited lodging Pro shops, food/beverage concessions, and accessory retail operations on-site Accounts that fit best typically have routine range operations, managed crowd control, designated hitting bays, documented maintenance programs for tees and greens, and standard cart fleets. Complex operations with large-scale events, extensive on-site lodging, or high-hazard attractions may require specialized underwriting review. Coverage Highlights and Advantages The program includes robust liability and property features to address the common exposures of range operations: Commercial General Liability — Primary limits available up to $3,000,000 occurrence and aggregate; additional interests included; hired & non-owned auto included; $5,000 medical payments included; liquor liability available; excess/umbrella capacity up to $25,000,000; often no deductible required for liability. Property Coverages — Building, contents, equipment breakdown, replacement cost or ACV options, damage to greens and tee boxes, sprinklers, computer equipment, valuable papers, business income and extra expense, food spoilage, contractor’s equipment, and inland marine for golf carts. Crime Coverage — Inside premises (theft of money and securities; robbery/safe burglary of other property) and outside the premises. Pro Shop and Operations — Bailee’s coverage for pro shop, accounts receivable, and other retail-related exposures can be included. Underwriting Notes Submission requirements typically include an ACORD application, current loss runs, schedule of operations (hours, seasonal usage), details on food/beverage and alcohol service if applicable, and photos of the range, bays, and cart storage. Underwriters evaluate range layout, netting/fencing, lighting, cart maintenance programs, employee training, and security measures for pro shop/crime exposures. Accounts with frequent large tournaments, amplified alcohol sales, significant spectator seating, or on-site lodging will require additional review and may be referred to specialty markets. Territories and Availability This program is available in the western U.S.: AZ, CA, CO, ID, NV, NM, UT, and WY. Admitted coverage can be placed in some markets where carriers offer admitted paper; otherwise E&S placement is available through Colonial General’s carrier relationships (carriers vary by state and account characteristics). Why Work with Colonial General on Driving Range Accounts Specialized appetite for golf-related risks and ancillary operations. Access to both admitted and E&S markets depending on state and account profile. Ability to package property, liability, crime, and inland marine to reduce gaps in coverage for ranges and pro shops. Experienced underwriting and flexible excess/umbrella capacity for clients who need higher limits. Example scenarios: You might have a municipal driving range with rental bays, a small pro shop and minimal food service — this program can provide a cost-efficient package with liability and inland marine for carts. Or you may place a private country club that needs liquor liability and umbrella limits for large member events — excess capacity up to $25M is available. Submission Tips Include loss runs for the last 3–5 years, description of range operations (hours, seasonality), and details on alcohol service if present. Provide photos of the facility layout, hitting bays, cart storage/maintenance area, and any risk-control features (netting, fencing, signage). If available, include routine maintenance schedules for turf, irrigation/sprinklers, and golf cart inspection records. Frequently Asked Questions What types of driving range accounts are a good fit for this program?Public and private driving ranges, mini-golf facilities, and country clubs with typical range operations fit well. The program works best for locations without extensive lodging, minimal high-hazard attractions, and with documented maintenance and safety practices. What liability limits and excess options are available?Primary commercial general liability limits are available up to $3,000,000 occurrence and aggregate, and excess/umbrella limits can be placed up to $25,000,000 depending on the account and carrier availability. Are admitted policies available?Admitted options are available in some markets. Colonial General also places E&S coverage where admitted paper is not available or when the account requires more flexible terms. What information should I include with a submission?Provide a completed application, recent loss runs, description of operations (including alcohol service if any), photos of the range and carts, and any risk-control documentation such as maintenance schedules and employee training programs. Can you place liquor liability and pro shop crime coverage?Yes. Liquor liability can be included where needed, and crime coverage for inside/outside premises and safe burglary is available to protect pro shop cash and inventory. Need help placing an account?

Overview — Vacant Building Insurance from Allstar Financial Group Allstar Underwriters offers a Vacant Building Insurance program through Allstar Financial Group designed for agents and brokers placing vacant or unoccupied properties. Vacant buildings carry elevated property and liability exposures — vandalism, fire, intruders and hidden hazards — and this program combines property, casualty and umbrella solutions to close those protection gaps quickly. Ideal Accounts and Appetite This program targets a broad set of vacant property exposures, including: Contractors (short-term vacancy during construction or between tenants) Habitational properties (vacant apartments, multifamily awaiting renovation) Office buildings and retail locations Wholesale, institutional, and other commercial vacancies Typical fits are buildings with clear vacancy plans, reasonable physical protection (fencing, boarded openings, periodic inspections) and values within the program limits. Accounts with ongoing renovation, active work by insured contractors, or those requiring project-specific wording can often be accommodated. Higher-hazard occupancies, long-term derelict properties without risk management, or properties with a history of frequent claims may fall outside appetite. Property Coverage Highlights TIV up to $5 million per location Monoline or packaged solutions No-coininsurance options available (varies by risk) Optional coverage enhancements Equipment breakdown available Risk types: Contractors, Habitational, Offices, Vacancies, Retail, Wholesale, Institutional Casualty Coverage Highlights Monoline or package casualty available Minimum premium starting at $500 (subject to underwriting) Primary limits up to $5M / $5M Project-specific policies available Uninsured subcontractor coverage where appropriate Optional endorsements and enhancements such as: Blanket additional insured Waiver of subrogation Primary and non-contributory wording Per project / per location aggregate Hired & non-owned autos (certain classes) Miscellaneous professional liability (certain classes) Risk types: Contractors, Habitational, Offices, Vacancies, Retail, Wholesale, Institutional Umbrella Coverage Highlights Limits available up to $5 million Minimum premium starting at $750 (subject to underwriting) Available as supported or unsupported umbrella Underwriting Notes and Minimums Underlying requirement examples: AM Best A-VI or better for auto or general liability AM Best B++ or better for employers liability Typical GL limits: $1M / $2M / $2M Minimum premiums and terms vary by state, risk class and coverages requested. Property TIV, protective measures, occupancy history and active risk management are key factors in pricing and eligibility. Carriers: multiple markets participate; program is administered as an MGA / E&S broker offering flexible placement options. Territories and Admission Status Availability: Most Available States. Currently available in: AL, GA, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA. The program is offered through excess & surplus lines placement when required; admitted availability may vary by state and carrier. Why Work With Allstar Financial Group on Vacant Building Business Allstar’s vacant building program is designed for speed and flexibility. Underwriters are experienced with vacancy exposures and can tailor property, casualty and umbrella combinations — including project-specific wording — to suit transitional or between-tenant scenarios. Multiple carrier relationships increase placement options for harder-to-place accounts and the program’s endorsement choices (additional insureds, waiver of subrogation, per-project aggregates) help manage contractual requirements for contractors and owners. Examples of Good Fits A regional property manager with a 3-story vacant retail building undergoing planned renovation and with boarded openings and monthly inspections — needs property and GL with builder’s risk and equipment breakdown options. A contractor controlling a vacant storefront between tenants that requires project-specific primary/non-contributory GL and hired/non-owned auto coverage for subcontractors on site. Submission Guidance Submit a completed application, recent photos of the property, TIV and occupancy status, loss history and details of any risk mitigation (security, boarding, inspections). Disclose active construction, contractor exposure and projected timelines — project-specific wording may be needed. Underwriters will evaluate vacancy period, protection measures and repair/rehab plans when placing coverage and calculating rates. Frequently Asked Questions What types of vacant properties are a good fit for this program?Buildings with a clear vacancy plan, reasonable physical protection (boarded openings, fencing, inspections), TIV up to $5M per location, and occupancies such as contractors, habitational, office, retail, wholesale and institutional uses are generally a good fit. What are the minimum premiums and available limits?Minimum premiums vary by coverage: casualty typically starts around $500 and umbrella around $750, subject to underwriting. Property, casualty and umbrella limits are available up to $5M depending on the line and risk. What underwriting information does Allstar require on submissions?Provide a completed application, recent property photos, TIV, vacancy duration, loss history, and any risk mitigation details (security, inspections, repairs). Disclose active construction or contractor activity so project wording can be considered. Which states and placement options are available?The program is available in most states and is currently offered in AL, GA, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN and VA. Placement may be through admitted or E&S markets depending on state and carrier requirements. Need help placing an account? Connect with a market specialist.
