Many professionals own or lease their vehicle in their business name for tax purposes. This can create a problem with your personal auto insurance. I’ve seen personal auto policies decline coverage because the vehicle was titled in the name of a business. Many personal insurance companies will insure a passenger vehicle titled in a company name, as long as the usage is commercial and the business is an additional insured. It’s best to talk to a professional to make sure your policy is set up correctly. We’re always happy to help. Contact us today to get started.
What Vehicles Are Covered Under Commercial Auto Insurance?
Hired/Non-Owned Auto Liability
Are you renting cars or are your employees using their own vehicles? This particular coverage provides business insurance coverage for certain liabilities arising from the use of a rented or leased vehicle (hired), or a non-owned vehicle (employee using their own vehicle on company business). Oftentimes this coverage can be added inexpensively to a business auto policy, or in some cases, a general liability policy.
