AT&T's subcontractor agreements require specific insurance minimums. Here's what you need to be AT&T-compliant and get on their approved vendor list.
AT&T typically requires $1M–$2M per occurrence / $2M–$4M aggregate GL from fiber installation subcontractors. Covers property damage (including to existing infrastructure), bodily injury, and completed operations. AT&T must be named as Additional Insured.
AT&T requires statutory Workers' Comp from all subcontractors. Required in all states where you perform AT&T work. Protects your crew during aerial lashing, underground OSP, splicing, and drop installation.
AT&T requires $1M combined single limit Commercial Auto covering all vehicles used for AT&T work — bucket trucks, splice vans, boring machines, and trailers. AT&T must be named as Additional Insured on auto as well.
For larger AT&T subcontracts — especially OSP builds, ROW work, and multi-county deployments — AT&T commonly requires $3M–$5M umbrella on top of GL. We can issue these limits efficiently.
AT&T subcontractors using expensive fusion splicers, OTDRs, reel trailers, and directional boring equipment need Inland Marine to protect assets between AT&T job sites and in transit.
AT&T's subcontractor agreements require Additional Insured endorsements on GL and Auto policies. We issue AT&T-compliant COIs promptly with the correct AT&T entity name and address for each project.

Common questions from fiber contractors looking to get insured and compliant for AT&T subcontract work.
AT&T typically requires: General Liability ($1M–$2M per occurrence / $2M–$4M aggregate), statutory Workers' Compensation, Commercial Auto ($1M CSL), and often a $3M–$5M Umbrella for larger contracts. AT&T must be named as Additional Insured on your GL and auto policies.
Yes. AT&T requires Additional Insured status on both your General Liability and Commercial Auto policies. You'll need to have the exact legal entity name for the AT&T subsidiary or project entity involved. We issue these COIs promptly once we have that information.
Getting on AT&T's approved vendor list requires meeting their insurance minimums, having proper contractor licensing in the state where you'll work, and providing compliant COIs on demand. We help with the insurance piece — getting you compliant, COI-ready, and able to start work fast.
AT&T's subcontractor requirements generally include Workers' Comp even for smaller operators. Even if your state doesn't legally require it for sole proprietors, AT&T's subcontract agreement will typically require it. We advise carrying Workers' Comp for any AT&T work.
A full AT&T-compliant coverage package (GL + Workers' Comp + Auto + Umbrella) for a small fiber crew typically runs $4,000–$12,000/year total depending on your state, payroll, and revenue.
