Business Insurance for Windsor Companies
Automotive assembly, parts suppliers and Windsor’s tool, die and mould makers form one of the most integrated manufacturing clusters in North America. Their customers expect strong product liability, recall and errors and omissions coverage, and contracts often specify limits.
The Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit Windsor Tunnel make Windsor a centre for trucking, customs brokerage and logistics. Cross-border work adds US liability, cargo and regulatory considerations that need a broker who works with them regularly.

Commercial Insurance in Windsor: FAQs
Do Windsor auto parts suppliers need recall insurance?
Many do. Automotive supply agreements commonly allocate recall costs to the supplier whose part caused the recall, and standard liability policies usually exclude recall.
Does my Canadian policy cover US claims?
It depends on the policy territory and whether your US exposure has been disclosed and rated. Cross-border businesses should confirm this with a broker.
What insurance do cross-border carriers need?
Auto liability that meets US requirements, physical damage, motor truck cargo and often US filings. A broker experienced in cross-border trucking can arrange this.

5/5 rating on GoogleThe Commercial Insurance Difference: Feedback from those referred
Proactive Broker Relationship.
The most noticeable difference was the fact that I no longer felt that I was needed to manage the broker... the brokers came to me with proactive recommendations and knew when to push and shop the market and when not to. When the topic of business insurance comes up, I always refer fellow business owners.

Security Blanket For My Business
I was always the type of customer that never believed in insurance and only really got it because I had to. Then I connected with a broker through Commercial Insurance.ca and they asked me questions no one else ever did and that's how I knew something was different. They took the time to understand and evaluate the risks. Well, I ended up getting some extra coverage (legal expense) and thank goodness I did. Something fairly innocent turned into something quite nasty and I didn't have to do too much... my coverage took care of it. Now I look at Insurance as a security blanket for my business.

They had my back
No one likes buying insurance because it's a bit of a bet against yourself. You just hope that when the bad things happen that insurance will do what it said it would do in the first place. Their specialist stand behind the policy's that they bind. They never professed to get me the best price, but they did say they have my back, and have my back, they did.
