Keep Your Business Moving with the Right Commercial Auto Coverage

Personal auto policies explicitly exclude vehicles used for business purposes. If you or an employee get into an accident while driving for work — even in a personal car — you could be left with no coverage at all. Commercial auto insurance fills that gap with tailored protection for business-use vehicles.

Whether you own a single work van or manage a fleet of 50 trucks, we match your operation with the right coverage from 142+ carriers. We’ll help you navigate liability limits, physical damage options, cargo coverage, and the unique requirements of your industry.

Fleet vs. Non-Fleet Coverage

Insurance carriers generally classify commercial auto policies as fleet (5 or more vehicles) or non-fleet (fewer than 5). Fleet policies often come with discounted per-vehicle rates, risk management programs, and dedicated underwriters. Non-fleet policies are written on a per-vehicle basis with more individualized underwriting. We help you determine which classification fits your operation and negotiate the best structure for your business.

Fleet programs also offer additional benefits such as loss prevention consulting, driver training resources, telematics-based usage discounts, and multi-year rate guarantees. Even if you have only a few vehicles today, we can structure your policy to scale as your business grows.

Business Use Classification

How your vehicles are used matters greatly to underwriters. Common business use classes include:

  • Service & Delivery: Plumbers, electricians, couriers, food delivery — moderate local driving with equipment or goods
  • Contractor & Construction: Heavy trucks with tools, trailers, and materials — higher risk profile
  • Transportation & Hauling: Trucking companies, freight brokers, and for-hire carriers — cargo coverage essential
  • Sales & Field Service: Real estate agents, inspectors, insurance adjusters — lighter use but still business-classified
  • Hired & Non-Owned Auto (HNOA): Covers your business when employees drive personal vehicles for work — essential if you reimburse mileage

Getting the classification right is critical. A misclassification can lead to claim denials. We’ll guide you through the correct classification for each vehicle in your operation.

Dedicated Claims Support

When a commercial vehicle accident happens, downtime costs real money. Our claims advocacy team works directly with adjusters to get your claims processed and paid quickly. We help you document losses, coordinate rental vehicles, and fight for fair settlements — so you can get back on the road faster.

We also assist with Certificate of Insurance requests, policy endorsements for newly acquired vehicles, and periodic coverage audits to ensure your fleet stays properly covered as your business evolves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need commercial auto if my employee uses their own car for work?
Yes. Even if the vehicle is personally owned, your business can be held liable if an employee causes an accident while running a work errand, making a delivery, or visiting a client. Hired & Non-Owned Auto (HNOA) coverage protects your business in these scenarios and is typically very affordable.
How much commercial auto liability coverage do I need?
The right limit depends on your industry, the size of your vehicles, and any contractual requirements. Many carriers recommend at least $500K – $1M per occurrence. If you have fleet vehicles, haul hazardous materials, or work with large clients, we often recommend $1M+ with an umbrella policy for additional protection.
Can I get commercial auto insurance with just one business vehicle?
Absolutely. Many small businesses start with a single work truck, van, or service vehicle. Non-fleet commercial auto policies are designed for exactly this. We represent carriers that specialize in one-vehicle business policies — and rates are often surprisingly affordable compared to the risk of being uninsured for business use.
