UPDATE
Anderson Benson launches
MotorCare, first-of-its-kind bus
driver deductible forgiveness
insurance
Anderson Benson, a Nashville-based insurance and risk
management firm that is a national leader in solutions for the
entertainment industry, has launched a first-of-its-kind bus and
motorcoach Driver Deductible Forgiveness Insurance called
MotorCare by Anderson Benson. The program’s launch comes
after three years of research and work with the bus and motor
coach industry to deliver a product that would greatly benefit
both drivers and employers.
“For bus drivers in the entertainment and charter industry,
typically they are solely responsible for $10,000 to $25,000
deductibles on the buses they drive for their employers,” said
Brent Daughrity, partner at Anderson Benson and entertainment
practice group lead. “Any repair on these vehicles is extremely
expensive, so an accident can be crippling for a driver. For typically
only three figures, our program will cover that deductible for
drivers, potentially saving them tens of thousands of dollars in the
case of an accident and protecting their livelihood in the process.”
As noted, massive deductibles can be completely covered for
a relatively nominal cost, giving drivers relief from the stress of
covering a crippling deductible cost in the case of any accident.
On top of this, as a bonus, bus and motor coach drivers will also
be allotted $2,500 of personal coverage if, for example, anything
personally owned is stolen from the cabin.
“We believe Anderson Benson’s Bus Driver Deductible
Forgiveness Insurance will greatly benefit the entire bus and
motorcoach industry and protect long-term relationships
between driver and employer,” Daughrity said.
Anderson Benson has struck an exclusive deal with Sompo
International to offer the program nationwide. Currently, the
firm is focused on working directly with bus and motorcoach
companies so that employers can comprehensively offer the
product to all its drivers.
