Do food trucks in Florida need general liability insurance?
It's rarely required by state law, but in practice most food trucks can't work without it: general contractors, landlords, property managers, and venues almost always require a certificate showing $1M/$2M with products-completed operations; venue as additional insured before you set foot on the job.
What does GL cover for a food truck operator?
It covers third-party bodily injury, third-party property damage, and products/completed-operations claims. For example: a customer is burned, hurt, or claims a foodborne illness. It does not cover your own tools or vehicles, or employee injuries — those are covered by inland marine, commercial auto, and workers' comp.
How fast can a food truck operator get a Certificate of Insurance?
Once coverage is bound, we issue a COI naming the specific GC, landlord, or venue that's requiring it. If your operation needs a specialist, an Arace agent turns certificates around quickly.
Is a certificate of insurance the same as being insured?
No — a COI is proof of an active policy, not the coverage itself. You need a bound GL policy first; then we issue certificates (including additional-insured endorsements) to whoever your contract requires.
