Common Commercial Auto Insurance Questions
Why do I Need Commercial Auto Insurance?
All drivers face accident risks and other vehicle liabilities. If a business is the owner or operator of a vehicle, however, then these risks are going to be compounded. When accidents occur, it is the business that stands to lose money as it tries to pick up the pieces of these accidents. It is only commercial auto insurance that will provide the coverage necessary to support the business as it picks up the pieces.
What Does Commercial Auto Insurance Cover?
The average commercial auto insurance policy can offer numerous perks, including:
-
Hired/Non-Owned Auto Liability Insurance: This liability coverage extends to vehicles not owned by the business but used by them for business purposes. These might include employees’ personal cars or vehicles that you rent or hire to use temporarily.
-
Collision Insurance: This covers damage to your own vehicle that you sustained in a wreck.
-
Comprehensive Insurance: This coverage pays for damage from non-accident mishaps, such as weather damage, fires, theft, vandalism or similar accidents.

Uninsured/underinsured Insurance: This insures you against damage caused by someone else who doesn’t have appropriate liability coverage. If you are the victim of a hit-and-run, for example, then this coverage can pay for your car’s damage.
