At Blue Rock Insurance Services, we understand how vital your commercial vehicles are to your operations. Whether you manage trucks, vans, delivery cars, or contractor vehicles, our commercial auto insurance protects what matters. This way, you can stay on the road with confidence.
What Is Commercial Auto Insurance?
Unlike personal auto insurance, commercial auto insurance is specifically built for business use. It covers company-owned vehicles, and even personal vehicles used for work purposes. Coverage typically includes both liability and physical damage protection.
Key aspects
Covers accidents, theft, vandalism, and business-related injuries.
Premiums are often tax-deductible—making it financially smart for your business.
What Does Commercial Auto Insurance Cover?
Commercial auto insurance is designed to protect your business vehicles, drivers, and liability exposures. Here’s a breakdown of the most common coverage types:
| Coverage Type | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Liability Coverage | Pays for bodily injury and property damage you are legally responsible for in an accident caused by your business vehicle. |
| Collision Coverage | Covers damage to your business vehicle if it collides with another vehicle or object, regardless of fault. |
| Comprehensive Coverage | Protects against non-collision incidents such as theft, vandalism, fire, or natural disasters. |
| Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist | Covers injuries and damages if your business vehicle is hit by a driver with little or no insurance. |
| Medical Payments | Helps pay medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of fault. |
| Hired & Non-Owned Auto | Extends coverage to vehicles your business rents, leases, or employees use for work purposes. |
| Roadside Assistance | Optional coverage that provides towing, jump-starts, flat tire service, and other emergency roadside help. |
Key Takeaway: Commercial auto insurance ensures your business vehicles, drivers, and operations are financially protected from accidents, theft, and liability claims. It’s essential coverage for any company that owns, leases, or relies on vehicles for business use.
Why Your Business Needs Commercial Auto Insurance?
Higher Liability Limits for Business Risk: Spending more time on the road increases the likelihood of accidents. These accidents can result in costly lawsuits. In some cases, they may even threaten the closure of your business.
Non-Owned Vehicle Protection: Covers hired/borrowed vehicles—critical if you or employees use personal vehicles for work.
Tool & Cargo Coverage: Need coverage for equipment inside the vehicle? Many commercial policies include this or offer add-ons.
