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 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's 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 so 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 fit for you.
Ways to save on Commercial Auto Coverage:
- Have an independent agent shop options for you
- Monitor who is driving your vehicles
- Implement a fleet management program
- Daily inspections of vehicles
- Carrying higher deductibles to prevent small claims
- Do a pre-screen of all drivers before they are hired
