RunBuggy is a car hauling load program for carriers whose own authority is older than 365 days. It asks for $1 million in auto liability and cargo coverage sized to capacity: $100,000 for one vehicle, $150,000 for two or three, $250,000 for four to six and $300,000 for seven or more. Setup runs through Truckstop RMIS and the RunBuggy app.
- Best for
- Car haulers with authority older than 365 days
Our take
Ask your agent for a COI that lists RunBuggy OMI Inc as additional insured at its Tempe, Arizona address, since RunBuggy doesn't accept a blanket endorsement. The insured address on the COI also has to match your FMCSA and USDOT address.
Use a hand-signed, dated W9 on the October 2018 revision or newer. After you finish RMIS, expect a call from RunBuggy's Transporter Success team within one to two business days.
Cons
- The owner or a legal representative must pass an ARA company background check, plus ID and selfie checks in RMIS
