A business auto policy provides both liability and damage protection for any car, truck, van, or other vehicles that you use in your business. Don’t make the mistake of thinking your personal policy protects you.
Insurance protection for your business auto
Regardless of your business type, you probably use one or more vehicles to get around. Depending on how your organization operates, this can include vehicles that are owned or leased by the business, hired out for limited use, or owned by employees but used for any reason related to your business.
This last category, the employee-owned vehicle, is frequently overlooked, but this is an important element of your policy if you ask your employees or staff to use their personal vehicles for even small errands, like taking a check to the bank or visiting a supplier or customer.

We’ll build the right commercial auto policy for you
Let us build a custom commercial auto policy that meets your specific needs. There can be different limits and types of coverage for each and every vehicle, so it is important to have an experienced insurance professional who understands how to evaluate your unique needs.
Your policy will clearly specify the following:
- Each covered vehicle
- The specific liability and physical damage coverage for each
- Your limits of insurance
- Business use definitions
- Who is insured
- Coverage types
- Liability: covers third-party medical costs or damage awards for bodily injury, death or physical property damage/losses due to the negligence or fault of the individual driving your insured vehicle.
- Comprehensive: covers damage to your insured vehicles that occurs for reasons other than collision, such as weather, animals, vandalism or theft.
- Collision: available alongside liability and comprehensive coverage. Helps with the cost of vehicle damage caused by your driver.
- Specific perils: adds hazards or events that are excluded from the main policy that could lead to vehicle damage while it is on your property.
- Uninsured and/or underinsured motorist bodily injury and property damage: pays if your business vehicle is hit by someone who has insufficient insurance to pay for your losses.
- Personal injury protection (PIP): pays for medical treatment for the driver and passengers of the policyholder’s car. It may also help with injured parties’ lost wages and the cost of replacing the services of the injured driver.
- Non-owned auto: specifically insures rented, leased or borrowed vehicles used by the business or for its purposes.
- Fleet insurance: covers all your business vehicles.
