Automobile Physical Damage Coverage (CarCare and LeaseCare)

CarCare is an optional automobile physical damage program for state agency-owned vehicles as well as state-owned vehicles on long-term lease from the centralized fleet managed by the Department of General Services. CarCare provides comprehensive and collision coverage similar to that found in most commercial automobile insurance policies.

LeaseCare is an optional automobile physical damage program for commercially leased vehicles used on official state business. Like CarCare, LeaseCare provides comprehensive and collision coverage similar to that found in most commercial automobile insurance policies.  If you have LeaseCare and are leasing a vehicle outside of the United States, please contact the Division of Risk Management to ensure coverage can be provided.

The Virginia Automobile and CarCare System (VACCS) is an online database that allows agencies to maintain their automobile exposure information. VACCS also facilitates electronic billing for CarCare.

Bonds

DRM's bond program for state officials and employees consists of the Blanket Fidelity Bond.

Blanket Fidelity

This self-insured bond protects the Commonwealth and its agencies against loss due to employee dishonesty. It covers all state officials, employees, and authorized volunteers. The bond limit is $500,000 per loss, regardless of the number of officials, employees or authorized volunteers involved. Separate limits may apply to specific officials and employees.

Aviation & Watercraft Coverage

In accordance with §§ 2.2-1836 and 2.2-1837, the Commonwealth's liability and property risk management plans combine to provide protection for state agencies and institutions with aircraft and/or watercraft. Depending on the availability and cost of commercial insurance coverage, these programs may vary between commercial insurance and funds managed by DRM or some combination of the two. Currently, the Commonwealth's aviation exposures are underwritten through a commercial aviation insurance policy. Watercraft hull coverage is provided through a commercial hull insurance policy while watercraft liability protection is provided by the liability risk management plan.
