Do low-speed vehicles need insurance?

In most states, yes. Because a low-speed vehicle (LSV) is a street-legal vehicle that's titled, registered, and assigned a VIN, it's generally required to carry at least minimum liability coverage to operate on public roads, unlike a standard golf cart. Requirements vary by state, so the practical question for owners and operators is rarely whether to insure, but which policy actually responds.

What does LSV dealer and fleet insurance cover? 

LSV dealer and fleet insurance protects the business exposures a personal policy never touches. For dealerships, that means inventory and lot protection, dealer-plate auto liability for demos and test drives, premises and general liability, garagekeepers, products and completed operations, errors & omissions, inland marine, crime, and commercial umbrella. For fleet and rental operators, it covers auto and general liability, physical damage on fleet assets, and rider accident coverage; shuttle-service operators get purpose-built packages for passenger operations. The right mix depends on whether you sell, rent, or operate the vehicles.
