Our insurance agency currently writes hundreds of policies for auto dealer advertising associations, including:

General Liability Coverage (GL)
$1,000,000 per occurrence limits start at $400 a year for an office exposure (no events run directly by the group)
$1,000,000 per occurrence limits start at $1,500 if the group organizes their own in house events/promotions.
Umbrella Liability Coverage (UMB)
$1M-$5M limits over the GL limits depending on the needs of the board. Premiums start at $400.
Media Liability (Advertisers Liability)
