Delivering peace of mind
As a business owner, you need commercial auto protection whether you use your vehicle for business throughout the day or have a team of delivery drivers. The same types of insurance you secure for your personal vehicle are needed for vehicles driven for commercial purposes. The most common coverages are liability, collision and comprehensive, medical payments (known as personal injury protection in some states) and coverage for uninsured motorists. If the vehicle you drive is owned by the business, make sure the name of the business appears on the policy as the "principal insured.” This will avoid possible confusion should you need to file a claim or a claim is filed against you.
The type of coverage you need depends on the kind of driving and transportation requirements of the business. Our risk advisors take time to learn how vehicles are used in your business, the relationship of the various drivers to your business and inquire if employees drive their personal vehicles for business.
While the major coverages are the same, a business auto policy differs from a personal auto policy in many technical respects. Ask our commercial auto specialists to explain all the differences and options.
