As a business owner, you need insurance coverages for the cars, trucks, vans or other vehicles you own, lease, rent or borrow for your business, as your personal auto insurance policy will likely not provide coverage if these vehicles are being used for business purposes. Therefore, this insurance coverage is essential when it comes to protecting your business. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can a Commercial Auto Policy cover?<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A commercial auto insurance policy can be built to address your unique needs and may include coverages for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Liability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can cover expenses related to injuries to others involved in an accident, as well as damage to another vehicle due to an accident in which a driver representing your company is at fault.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Physical Damage <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014 Collision coverage applies to damage to a company vehicle due to an accident. Comprehensive coverage applies to other sources of damage, like hail, theft, or vandalism.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Medical Payments <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014 In some states, coverage may include payment for medical care that is required as a result of a vehicle accident.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Uninsured Motorist<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 This coverage pays for vehicle damage or medical bills if the accident is caused by an uninsured driver.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Hired Auto<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 Hired auto covers your business for accidents you or your employees are responsible for while driving rented vehicles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Non-Owned Auto<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014This covers your business when your employees are driving their own vehicle or any vehicle not owned by your business.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who needs Commercial Auto Insurance?<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use your own car or a fleet of pickups, box trucks and even trailers to get the job done, you need commercial auto insurance. For example, if your business involves physical work like repairs, cleaning, maintenance or construction and your vehicles are regularly carrying equipment \u2014 commercial auto insurance is essential. Additionally, commercial auto insurance is required if your vehicle is registered in your business\u2019 name, owned or leased by a partnership or corporation, or if any of your vehicles carry commercial license plates. Lastly, if your employees are regularly required to use any vehicle for business purposes, they and your business should be protected with a commercial auto policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does the Commercial Auto Plus Endorsement cover?<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Quincy Mutual Commercial Auto Plus Endorsement provides extra protection for a covered loss by increasing supplementary payments and expanding several important coverages.
