I just wrote something similar in Colorado, with Liberty. Talk to your underwriter about the deets to make sure all needed coverages are in place.

You need a garage liability policy, not just garagekeepers. Progressive commercial writes garage liability that includes the test drive exposure.

Foremost has a solid garage program. Make sure you're quoting garage liability, not just GL + garagekeepers.

Try Nationwide or Hartford for garage risks. The key is garage liability form, not standard GL.
