Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about these coverage options.
What's the difference between commercial auto and personal auto insurance?▼
Commercial auto covers vehicles used for business purposes (deliveries, client visits, etc.). Personal auto excludes business use. Using personal auto for business voids coverage.
Do I need commercial auto if I use my personal car for work?▼
Yes, if you use it regularly for business. Personal auto policies exclude business use. A commercial auto policy or business endorsement is required.
How can I reduce commercial auto insurance costs?▼
Maintain clean driving records, implement driver safety training, use GPS tracking, increase deductibles, and bundle with other policies. We shop multiple carriers for the best rate.
What coverage limits should I carry?▼
Minimum varies by state, but we typically recommend $100K/$300K/$100K (bodily injury/property damage/uninsured motorist). Higher limits protect your business better.
Is commercial auto required by law?▼
Yes, in all states. If you own or operate a vehicle for business, you must carry commercial auto liability insurance. Operating without it is illegal.
