Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need commercial auto if I only occasionally use my car for business?
Yes. Even occasional business use can void your personal auto policy. Commercial auto or a business use endorsement is necessary.
Does commercial auto cover employees driving their own vehicles?
You'll need non-owned auto liability coverage, which extends protection to employees using personal vehicles for business purposes.
Is commercial auto more expensive than personal auto?
Generally yes, because business vehicles typically have higher liability risks, more miles driven, and greater potential for claims.
What vehicles are covered under commercial auto?
Cars, trucks, vans, trailers, and specialized vehicles owned, leased, or regularly used for business. Very large trucks may need specialized coverage.
