Florida Bus & Motorcoach Insurance

Bus operators carry the highest stakes on the road — every seat is a person, and a serious incident produces many injury claims at once. We place coverage with the specialty markets that underwrite passenger transport: high-limit auto liability, physical damage on each unit, general liability for the depot, and the state and federal authority filings that have to stay current for you to keep operating legally.

Operators of buses in Florida — whether passenger transit, school contract, employee shuttle, or church group — face FMCSA filings, Florida DOT compliance, and the elevated liability limits passenger transport demands. Florida First Insurance of Broward places bus coverage with carriers that specialize in for-hire passenger risks, including limits scaled to under-15-passenger, 15-to-30, and over-30 seat counts.

A typical bus account stacks commercial auto liability (often at $1.5M or $5M combined single limit), physical damage on a stated-value basis, general liability for terminal and depot premises, garagekeepers if vehicles are stored for hire, and workers compensation for drivers. MCS-90 filings, BMC-91X for interstate passenger, and Form E for intrastate are all part of the process.

Bus accounts bind for operators in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach; west to Collier and Lee; into Sarasota and Manatee; across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco; through Polk to Orange in central Florida; up through Seminole into Brevard and Volusia; via Marion and Alachua north to Duval; and along the Panhandle in Leon and Escambia.
