Vanliner Insurance, Inc.

What Vanliner Insurance, Inc. does

Vanliner Insurance, Inc. is a U.S.-domiciled specialty property-and-casualty insurer founded in 1978 and headquartered in Fenton, Missouri. The company underwrites commercial insurance exclusively for the moving and storage industry and the last-mile delivery industry, operating as a focused product line within National Interstate Insurance Company and, ultimately, Great American Insurance Group, which holds an A.M. Best A+ (Superior) financial strength rating. Vanliner offers two core insurance products — Moving and Storage coverage and Last Mile coverage — distributed nationwide through a network of independent insurance producers (agents and brokers) and serviced via the NAVIQ customer portal.

The company's underwriting platform is built around deep vertical specialization: policies are tailored to commercial transportation risk profiles (commercial auto liability, cargo, warehouse, general liability, and last-mile delivery exposures) rather than generalist commercial lines. Product design emphasizes flexibility, including first-dollar policies, deductible programs, group rental captives, and customized large-account options, supported by in-house claims and loss-control professionals with transportation-industry expertise. Vanliner also offers telematics integration as a value-added service, allowing real-time driver data to inform underwriting and risk management for fleet operators.

Commercially, Vanliner earns revenue through annual commercial insurance premiums paid by moving companies, self-storage operators, last-mile delivery firms, independent owner-operators, and contract carriers in every U.S. state. The go-to-market motion is producer-led: Vanliner equips insurance agents and brokers with dedicated tools, products, and support, supplemented by content marketing (risk-financing articles, loss-control webinars) and direct service to existing policyholders via the NAVIQ portal. The company has 51-100 employees and is privately held as a subsidiary of Great American Insurance Group.
