What Does Commercial Auto Insurance Cover?

A commercial auto policy covers accidental damages and bodily injury while a company vehicle is being used for business purposes. A few common types of coverage are:

  • Auto Liability: Coverage for injuries or property damage caused by a company driver.
  • Underinsured Motorist: Coverage for bodily injury or property damage to your vehicles and employees if the other party has less or no coverage.
  • Medical Payments: Medical coverage for you or your drivers regardless of fault.
  • Comprehensive: Coverage for anything other than collision such as vandalism, acts of god, etc.
  • Collision: Repairs or replaces company vehicles if it is involved in an accident with another vehicle or object.
  • Hired and Non-Owned Liability: Liability coverage for vehicles not owned by business such as leased vehicles or employee-owned cars.

Who Needs Commercial Auto Insurance?

Business owners should have a commercial auto policy if any of their vehicles are regularly used for business use. Personal auto coverage restricts many types of business driving. You may need a commercial policy if you use a vehicle for things such as:

  • Driving to and from worksites
  • Transporting of any property
  • Transportation of any clients or employees
  • Carrying tools or equipment used for work

Our independent agents can look into your specific situation to see if a commercial auto policy may be a good fit for you.

 

Ways to Save on Commercial Auto Coverage:

  • Have an independent agent shop options for you

  • Carrying higher deductibles to prevent small claims
  • Do a pre-screen of all drivers before they are hired
