Commercial Auto Insurance

Why do I need Commercial Auto Insurance?

 Commercial auto insurance protects vehicles used for business purposes. A personal auto policy usually won’t cover accidents that happen while driving for business, so having the right coverage helps protect your business from costly liability, property damage, and medical expenses. 

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What does commercial auto insurance cover?

 Most policies include:

  • Liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage if you or your employees are at fault.
     
  • Collision coverage for damage to your business vehicle from an accident.
     
  • Comprehensive coverage for non-collision damage, such as theft, fire, or vandalism.
     
  • Medical payments coverage for injuries to you and your passengers.
     
  • Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage to protect you if another driver has little or no insurance.
    Optional add-ons can include towing, rental reimbursement, and roadside assistance.

2. Who needs commercial auto insurance?

 You may need this coverage if you:

  • Own or lease vehicles titled to a business.
     
  • Use personal vehicles for business purposes (like making deliveries, transporting equipment, or visiting clients).
     
  • Have employees who drive company vehicles.
    Even small businesses with a single car or truck may require it.

3. How much does commercial auto insurance cost?

 The cost depends on several factors, including:

  • The type of vehicle and its use.
     
  • Driving records of employees.
     
  • Coverage limits and deductibles you choose.
     
  • Location and frequency of vehicle use.
    Businesses with larger fleets or higher-risk driving activity typically pay more.

4. What vehicles can be covered?

 Commercial auto policies can cover a wide range of vehicles, such as:

  • Cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks.
     
  • Vans used for deliveries or transporting goods.
     
  • Utility trucks or service vehicles.
     
  • Some types of larger commercial trucks, depending on business needs.
     

5. Does personal auto insurance cover business driving?

 Generally, no. A personal policy is designed for personal use, not business operations. If you’re using your vehicle for work and get into an accident, your personal insurer could deny the claim. That’s why a commercial policy is essential.
