Commercial Auto Insurance
Coverage guidance for businesses that use vehicles to deliver services, transport goods, visit customers, or move teams between jobs. A&G helps review liability, physical damage, drivers, hired autos, and non-owned exposure.
Review Areas
Fleet schedule
Driver exposure
Hired autos
Liability limits
Vehicle coverage built around how your business actually drives.
Commercial auto insurance can combine liability protection with physical damage options and driver exposure review so vehicle risk is not treated like a personal auto policy.
Business auto liability
Helps respond to covered bodily injury or property damage claims involving company vehicles and business driving.
Physical damage options
Collision, comprehensive, and vehicle value decisions can be reviewed around the vehicles that keep work moving.
Drivers and fleet schedules
Named drivers, vehicle schedules, garaging, usage, and radius of operations can all affect program structure.
Hired and non-owned exposure
Employee-owned vehicles, rentals, and borrowed autos may need attention when they are used for business purposes.
Core Auto Policy Areas
Liability and physical damage options for company vehicles.
A&G helps business owners review the vehicle schedule, limits, deductibles, and usage details before comparing options.

- Auto liability limits and contract requirements
- Comprehensive and collision physical damage
- Uninsured and underinsured motorist considerations

Operational Exposures
Business driving often connects to other policy decisions.
Commercial auto may need to coordinate with umbrella limits, workers compensation, property, and contract language.
- Employee drivers and driving responsibilities
- Vehicles used to transport tools, goods, or equipment
- Hired, borrowed, and employee-owned auto use
- Delivery, service, sales, and jobsite travel patterns
- Umbrella or excess liability needs above auto limits
Coverage depends on the policy form, vehicle schedule, drivers, limits, deductibles, endorsements, and exclusions.

Questions businesses ask before reviewing vehicle coverage.
A few practical points about company vehicles, drivers, and hired or non-owned auto exposure.
Do personal auto policies cover business driving?
Personal auto policies may not respond the way a business expects when a vehicle is used for work. A&G can help review owned, hired, and non-owned auto exposure so the commercial program fits the operation.
What is hired and non-owned auto coverage?
Hired and non-owned auto coverage can help address liability exposure from rented, borrowed, or employee-owned vehicles used for business purposes, depending on the policy form and situation.
Does commercial auto include physical damage?
Physical damage coverage is policy-dependent and usually selected by vehicle. Collision, comprehensive, deductibles, values, and financing requirements should be reviewed.
Should commercial auto connect to umbrella coverage?
Many businesses review umbrella or excess liability when auto limits must satisfy contracts or when severe auto claims could exceed primary limits.
