When You Drive for Business, Your Insurance Should Reflect It.

Driving between job sites, transporting supplies, and sending employees out in company vehicles create risks that a personal auto policy may not cover. A single accident can leave your business facing injury claims, property damage, and costly repairs. Commercial auto insurance helps address those risks with coverage selected for your actual operations.

Coverage Options to Consider

  • Bodily Injury Liability: Helps pay covered injury claims when an insured driver is legally responsible for an accident.

  • Property Damage Liability: Helps pay for damage an insured vehicle causes to someone else’s vehicle or property.

  • Collision: Helps pay to repair or replace an insured vehicle damaged in a collision, subject to your deductible.

  • Comprehensive: Helps cover vehicle theft and non-collision damage, such as fire or vandalism, subject to policy terms.

  • Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist: May provide protection when an at-fault driver has insufficient or no insurance.

  • Medical Payments: May help pay eligible medical expenses for occupants of an insured vehicle, regardless of fault.

Items That May Need Separate Coverage

  • Tools and Equipment: Tools carried inside your vehicle generally need their own coverage.

  • Cargo and Materials: Goods you transport may require cargo or other property insurance.

  • Employee Work Injuries: Commercial auto insurance does not replace workers’ compensation.

  • Rented or Employee-Owned Vehicles: Your business may need hired and non-owned auto liability coverage for these exposures.

FAQs

Do I need commercial auto insurance if I use my personal vehicle for work?

You may. The right policy depends on who owns the vehicle, how it’s used, and who drives it. Regular trips between job sites, deliveries, and transporting business equipment can create exposures a personal policy may restrict or exclude. Tell us how you use your vehicle so we can help determine the appropriate coverage.

How much does commercial auto insurance cost?

Your premium depends on factors such as your business activities, vehicle types, drivers’ records, location, travel radius, and selected coverage. There is no single rate that fits every business. A personalized quote lets you review pricing based on your operation.

Can I insure just one work truck or van?

Yes. Commercial auto insurance can cover a single eligible vehicle; you do not need a fleet. Whether you operate one pickup or several business vehicles, the policy should reflect their ownership and use.

Are my employees covered when they drive my business vehicles?

Coverage depends on your policy’s driver requirements, permitted use, and exclusions. Disclose everyone who regularly drives your business vehicles and notify us when your drivers change. Do not assume every employee is automatically covered.

What if employees use their own cars, or we rent vehicles for work?

Your business may need hired and non-owned auto liability coverage. Hired auto typically addresses eligible rented or borrowed vehicles, while non-owned auto can address employees’ personal vehicles used for business. This liability coverage generally does not pay for damage to those vehicles themselves; separate protection may be needed.

Are the tools and materials inside my vehicle covered?

Generally, commercial auto coverage for the vehicle does not automatically protect tools, equipment, or cargo carried inside it. Separate tools and equipment, inland marine, or cargo coverage may be needed. Let us know what you transport so we can help identify potential gaps.

How quickly can I get coverage, and what information do you need?

Timing depends on your business, the carrier, and whether additional underwriting is required. To get started, have your business information, vehicle identification numbers (VINs), driver details, and requested start date ready. If you already have coverage, your current policy declarations can help us review your limits. Coverage begins only after it has been bound and the effective date is confirmed.
