Helps protect work trucks, vans, trailers, and other vehicles used for business against covered accidents, physical damage, and liability claims. Commercial auto insurance can also help cover injuries, property damage, and legal expenses resulting from accidents involving covered business vehicles.
Provides an additional layer of liability protection above your general liability, commercial auto, and employers liability policies. Umbrella coverage can be especially important for contractors facing large claims, lawsuits, or contractual insurance requirements.
Helps protect tools, equipment, and machinery that travel between job sites from covered losses such as theft, vandalism, and certain types of physical damage. Inland marine coverage can be especially valuable for excavation contractors who depend on costly equipment and attachments to keep projects moving forward.
Many contracting jobs require bonds to bid on or start a project. We make it simple to obtain performance bonds, payment bonds, bid bonds, and license bonds through our Surety Bond Portal, allowing contractors to quickly quote and secure many bonds online.

Most excavation contractors carry a combination of general liability, workers compensation, commercial auto, inland marine, and umbrella insurance. The coverages needed can vary based on the size of the operation, types of projects performed, equipment used, and contractual requirements.
The cost of excavation contractor insurance depends on factors such as annual revenue, payroll, number of employees, claims history, equipment values, vehicle exposures, and the type of excavation work being performed.
Inland marine insurance helps protect tools, equipment, and machinery while being transported, stored, or used at job sites. This coverage can be especially important for contractors who rely on expensive equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, trenchers, and attachments.
Workers compensation requirements vary by state and business structure. In many cases, excavation contractors with employees are required to carry workers compensation coverage, and many project owners or general contractors may require proof of coverage before work begins.
