Truck Insurance

Coverage for pickup trucks and personal-use trucks.

Typical cost: $1,400 – $3,000 per year

Pickup Truck Insurance

Pickup truck insurance covers personal-use trucks for liability, collision, and comprehensive losses. Full-size trucks can be expensive to insure due to their size, repair costs, and theft rates—especially popular models like the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado.

Personal vs. Commercial Use

Personal auto policies cover trucks used for commuting and personal activities. If you use your truck for business—hauling materials, making deliveries, or contractor work—you may need a commercial auto policy. Business use on a personal policy can void your coverage.

Towing and Accessories

If you tow trailers, boats, or campers, ensure your policy covers towing liability. Aftermarket accessories like lift kits, toolboxes, and bed covers may need separate coverage or a scheduled endorsement.
