A towing or collateral recovery company that seizes private vehicles pose a unique set of risks. A recovery or tow company fidelity bond is an excellent coverage for the protection of a firm's clients and for the belongings of third party vehicle owners. In addition to making the recovery firm more attractive to banks and motor vehicle finance companies, a covered towing operation can advertise itself as a "bonded enterprise". This type of commercial crime coverage is a "third party fidelity bond" or "dishonesty bond". Fidelity bonds for towing and recovery may be written on a blanket basis that protect ALL clients of the firm or per specific client such as a finance company. A fidelity bond transfers the risk of dishonest acts of employees of the recovery service to the insurer. The policy may also be broadened to a full fidelity product which offers internal theft (embezzlement) protection for in-office operations. Employee theft from client property is common. Your towing business may be vulnerable to losses like these.

  • A tow truck driver extracting a vehicle from a restricted parking zone stole a luxury watch from the glove compartment of a vehicle.
  • An employee of Action Towing assigns to recover vehicles for a community bank removed high end stereo booster equipment from a owner's automobile.
  • A recovery company employee was accused of removing catalytic converters from motor vehicles that he towed and fencing them through a local repair shop.

Background investigations, reference checks, interviews and license checks are essential risk management tools however they are not guarantees that a driver or agent will not commit a dishonest act. One significant loss can zero a tow and recovery company's revenues. A client lawsuit against the firm can result in bankruptcy, loss of license and irreparable reputation damage in the collateral recovery business. Employee theft is the cause of over a quarter of business failures so a broad fidelity bond can mean the difference between closing the doors and running a profitable business that enjoys the trust of its clients.
