Business insurance
Insurance for Service Stations
A service station carries some of the heaviest risk in retail. You are storing flammable fuel in underground tanks, running a busy forecourt with vehicles, and trading cash and high-theft lines like tobacco late into the night. Public liability covers slips, spills and forecourt incidents, while property and contents cover protects the building, bowsers, tanks, stock and refrigeration. Environmental and pollution cover matters where fuel leaks are a real exposure, and workers' compensation is essential once you roster staff. With premiums often near $5,000 and many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover before the new financial year.
Common questions
Service Stations — insurance questions
What cover does a fuel-storage site really need?
Beyond public liability and property cover, fuel storage brings environmental and pollution exposure that standard policies may not fully address. Cockatoo can help match you to a broker who understands underground tanks, forecourt risk and the realities of running a fuel site.
Is theft cover worth it for a 24-hour site?
It usually is — late-night trading, cash on hand and high-value lines like tobacco make service stations a target. Make sure your contents and theft cover reflects the real value of stock and till floats you carry overnight.
