What Insurance Does a Laundromat Need?
Most laundromats and laundry businesses in California need a few key types of coverage. We help you decide what’s required and what’s smart to have, so you’re protected – not overinsured.
Business Owner’s Policy (BOP)
A BOP is the most common starting point for laundromats. It combines general liability and commercial property insurance in one affordable policy. Great fit for small and midsize laundry businesses. Learn more >
General Liability Insurance
General liability insurance protects you if a customer slips on a wet floor, trips over a basket or claims property damage inside your facility. Landlords and commercial leases often require this coverage. Learn more >
Commercial Property Insurance
Covers damage to your building (if owned), laundry equipment, water heaters, coin machines, signage, and fixtures from events like fire, theft or vandalism. Learn more >
Workers’ Compensation
Required in California if you have employees, even part-time. Covers work injuries, lost wages, and medical bills for attendants, cleaning staff or repair crews. Learn more >
Equipment Breakdown Coverage
Helps pay for repairs or replacement if your machines stop working due to electrical failure or mechanical breakdown, not just fire or water damage. Learn more >
Business Interruption Insurance
Covers lost income if you have to close due to a covered loss (like fire or major water damage). Helps you stay afloat while repairs happen.
Commercial Crime Coverage (Optional)
Protects against coin theft, internal theft or break-ins. Especially useful for unattended or 24-hour locations.
