Insurance by industry
Food Truck Insurance
A food truck is a vehicle, a kitchen and a business at once, and each part needs coverage.
Coverage built around your work
No two businesses are exactly alike, even in the same industry. We start by learning how you operate, where you work and what contracts or regulations apply, then compare options from the insurance companies we represent.
The policies on the right are a common starting point. We’ll help you decide which ones you need and at what limits.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does Food Truck Insurance typically cover?
A food truck is a vehicle, a kitchen and a business at once, and each part needs coverage. Exact limits, deductibles and exclusions depend on the policy and the insurance company, so we review the details with you before you buy.
Do you only insure people in Raleigh or North Carolina?
Our office is in North Raleigh, and we work with neighbors across the Triangle every day. As an independent agency we also help clients nationwide when we have markets that fit.
How do I get a quote for food truck coverage?
Start the quick quote form on this page, call or text our office, or request a quote online. An advisor reviews every request and follows up — usually within one business day.
Will you compare more than one insurance company?
Yes. Shadow Lake is an independent agency, so we shop multiple top-rated carriers for you instead of selling a single brand. Availability depends on the coverage, your location and underwriting.
Why does food truck insurance look different from a generic business policy?
Industries carry different risks — equipment, customers on-site, professional advice, vehicles or specialized contracts. We start with how you operate, then match coverages and carriers to that work.
Can you help if a contract asks for specific limits or a certificate?
Yes. Share the contract requirements and we’ll help align coverage where markets allow, and our service team can issue certificates of insurance for clients when needed.
