Coverage

Coverage Built for This Industry

Convenience store and gas station insurance typically includes a combination of several policies that are designed to cover various aspects of your business. Below are some common coverages that can be considered.

General Liability

General Liability

It is a must-have for all types of businesses as it covers property damage, slip and falls, third-party injury claims, and advertising injury. Having yourself covered with General Liability can save you from legal claims due to unavoidable situations.

Business Owner's Policy (BOP)

Business Owner's Policy (BOP)

This coverage includes commercial property and general liability both in one policy, making it the most common starting policy. With both policies included in one, the Business Owner's Policy (BOP) becomes cheaper than buying both separately.

Commercial Property

Commercial Property

It covers your physical assets like equipment, inventory, and store building. The coverage includes damages from theft, vandalism, and fire. Commercial Property coverage protects you from the consequences of such events.

Workers' Compensation

Workers' Compensation

Most convenience stores have employees, so it's likely that workers' compensation insurance is required. This covers lost wages and medical expenses for your employees who are ill or injured due to their job.

Liquor Liability

Liquor Liability

If you are a convenience store that sells alcohol, then liquor liability insurance is required. Liquor Liability covers property damage and injuries that can result from serving or selling alcohol.

Cyber Liability

Cyber Liability

This type of insurance has become integral with the prevalence of digital transactions. Cyber Liability covers the costs related to data breaches or cyber-attacks involving credit or monetary services and customer notifications.

Commercial Auto

Commercial Auto

It covers vehicles that are owned and used by the business for fuel transport, delivery, or business errands. Protect your company-owned vehicles from accidents with Commercial Auto coverage.

Umbrella Insurance

Umbrella Insurance

It is a type of insurance that adds an extra liability limit above the other policies for a claim that exceeds your standard limits. Umbrella Insurance is the final line of defense between a serious liability claim and a catastrophic financial loss.

Equipment Breakdown

Equipment Breakdown

In the event of equipment damage, Equipment Breakdown insurance will cover replacement or repair for refrigerator units, POS system fails, fuel pumps, broken coolers, or any equipment related to the business.

Pricing

Real risks

Real Risks, Real Costs

Ask yourself this question: If your convenience store had a major issue in the middle of the night, would your current convenience store and gas station insurance policy handle these real-world scenarios?

Typical claim range

Pump and Fuel Fire

Pump and Fuel Fire

A vehicle impact or static spark at the dispenser ignites a flash fire, completely destroying two petrol pumps and severely damaging your canopy. Leading to average claim costs ranging from $25,000 to $150,000.

Typical claim range

Fuel Spill and Environmental Cleanup

Fuel Spill and Environmental Cleanup

An overfill tank or a crack line during a routine delivery can lead to a cleanup bill that reaches 6 figures plus if it's not reported quickly. This isn't occasional. It's one of the most common claims within this industry, ranging between $50,000 and $250,000+.

Typical claim range

Slip and Fall

Slip and Fall

Situations like a puddle near the drink station can lead to a bad fall, which can land you a lawsuit. General liability insurance is what stands between you and that bill, but only if your limits are high enough to cover it. Payouts are typically between $10,000 and $50,000.

Typical claim range

Robbery and Theft

Robbery and Theft

Late-night shifts at a convenience store with a full cash register make them an easy target. It's important that you are covered for more than what is in the cash register, as there could be other potentially damages, as claims typically range from $5,000 to $25,000.

Typical claim range

Data Breach and POS Compromise

Data Breach and POS Compromise

All it takes is one compromised card reader to expose hundreds of customers' payment data. Cyber liability insurance is therefore required, as standard policies rarely account for legal fees and reputation damage. All of these costs can range anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000+.

Made the swap to McKinney last year for my business and still very happy I did so. Shahnaz and her team were very efficient in providing good service in a timely manner. She was very thorough in assessing my needs and even cut several things my old company was charging for that I never needed. Looking forward to continued business with this company.

Megan Butler

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, outstanding customer service. Would strongly recommend. Thank you McKinney & Co.

Victoria Nunn

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

See All FAQs

How much does convenience store and gas station insurance cost?

The monthly premiums for most owners range from $75 to $600 or more, depending on the type of coverage, location, sales volume, and whether being a fuel or alcohol seller. Generally, operations with multiple locations or those that have liquor and fuel liability will produce higher payments. Make sure to get a free gas station insurance quote to find the best rates for your business.

What is liquor liability insurance?

Liquor liability extends to claims resulting from alcohol sold, such as when a customer becomes injured in a liquor store after purchasing alcohol from the store owner. This coverage is typically not granted as part of a general liability policy and is required in most states where a liquor license is held.

Do I need pollution or underground storage tank (UST) liability for my gas station?

Most states mandate UST liability coverage as a fuel operation requirement for those who run underground storage tanks. It includes liability for leaks or spills, third-party property damage, and bodily injury claims.

Is workers' compensation required for convenience stores and gas stations?

Yes, if you have employees in most states. This depends on the state and, in some cases, the number of employees; so, make sure to find your state's specific threshold. If an employee is injured at work, workers' compensation will pay for the costs of medical care and lost wages.

Can I combine convenience store and gas station coverage in one policy?

Yes. For combination locations, a business owner's policy (BOP) or package policy may include general liability and property coverage, and then may be endorsed to include liquor liability or UST coverage.
