Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs commercial auto insurance?

Businesses may need commercial auto insurance if they own vehicles, transport tools or products, make deliveries, visit job sites, or have employees drive for work. A personal auto policy may exclude or restrict coverage for business use.

What vehicles can commercial auto insurance cover?

Coverage may be available for cars, pickup trucks, cargo vans, service vehicles, box trucks, trailers, and other vehicles used for business. Eligibility depends on the vehicle, how it is used, and the carrier’s guidelines.

What is the difference between personal and commercial auto insurance?

Personal auto insurance is designed primarily for personal driving. Commercial auto insurance addresses business-related risks and can offer coverage options, vehicle classifications, and liability limits suited to business operations.

Are employees covered when driving a company vehicle?

Authorized employees may be covered while driving an insured company vehicle, subject to the policy’s terms and driver eligibility requirements. Businesses should keep their driver information current and confirm who is permitted to operate each vehicle.

Hired auto coverage generally applies to vehicles a business rents or leases temporarily. Non-owned auto coverage can provide liability protection when employees use their personal vehicles for qualifying business activities.
