Coverage Types for Personal Shoppers
These are the key insurance policies most relevant to your business type — ranked by importance.
Professional Liability / E&O
Highly RecommendedCovers claims that your shopping recommendations caused the client financial harm — purchases that were the wrong size, wrong item, or failed to meet the client's stated needs. High-end clients spending thousands per shopping session can file significant E&O claims for dissatisfying results.
General Liability
RecommendedCovers property damage and bodily injury arising from your business activities — if you damage merchandise in a client's home, injure yourself or others at a client's property, or cause property damage in a retail location while working.
Commercial Auto
RecommendedIf you regularly drive to stores, boutiques, and client homes for shopping appointments, personal auto policies may exclude regular commercial use. A commercial auto endorsement covers your vehicle while on shopping service runs.
Inland Marine / Cargo
RecommendedCovers client merchandise in your possession and in transit — a trunk full of luxury items purchased for a client that is stolen from your vehicle creates significant personal financial exposure without cargo coverage.
