Commercial auto insurance for your small business

Commercial auto insurance is liability and physical damage protection for vehicles, such as cars, trucks and vans, that are used for business. Commercial vehicles require a separate policy because they’re typically exposed to more risk than personal vehicles. Commercial auto insurance isn’t just for industrial vehicles like semis or dump trucks. For example, businesses that use a car to run errands, carry tools or transport clients might also need a commercial auto policy.

How much does commercial auto insurance cost?

The national average monthly cost for commercial auto insurance shows the coverage to be very reasonable, but remember, your policy will be based on your business, drivers, and vehicles.

Several risk factors contribute to your premium including your profession, coverage needs, vehicles, drivers, driving history and location. Learn more about what influences your cost and what you can do to get the cheapest commercial auto insurance.

Does commercial auto insurance cover personal use?

Yes. While personal auto insurance doesn’t cover a vehicle if it’s being used for business purposes, commercial auto insurance covers your vehicle for both commercial and personal use.

Do accidents in my commercial vehicle cause my rates to go up?

An accident doesn’t affect the rate of your current policy, but it could affect your rate when your policy is renewed. Your policy is rewritten every time it expires to reflect your current situation. Accident-related rate changes are determined by various factors such as who was at fault, the cost of the claim, and your accident history. So, accidents are considered when determining your rate, but an increase isn’t guaranteed.
