Common Commercial Auto Insurance Questions 


Why do I need commercial auto insurance?   

Whenever someone drives on behalf of your business, it’s almost like they are taking the business with them in the car. Were they to run into trouble, then it’s the business that stands to suffer the financial strain of picking up the pieces. Commercial auto insurance makes certain that your business has the funds to afford its recovery costs. 

What does commercial auto insurance cover? 

The average commercial auto policy can offer numerous benefits, each of which can apply to different loss scenarios involving your vehicles or drivers. These include: 

  • Liability Insurance: When an accident is deemed your fault, this coverage help you pay for the damage you do to others (like other drivers) who weren’t in the car with you.

  • Bodily Injury Liability Coverage: This plan pays for third-party medical bills and sometimes for death benefits.

  • Property Damage Liability Coverage:  This pays for damage to the other party’s property.

  • Hired/Non-Owned Auto Liability Insurance: This liability coverage extends to vehicles not owned by the business but used by them for business purposes. These might include employees’ personal cars or vehicles that you rent or hire to use temporarily.

  • Collision Insurance: This covers damage to your own vehicle that you sustained in a wreck.

  • Comprehensive Insurance: This coverage pays for damage from non-accident mishaps, such as weather damage, fires, theft, vandalism or similar accidents.

  • Medical Payments/Personal Injury Protection: If you get hurt in an accident, this coverage can pay for your medical bills. Sometimes, it will cover other losses, such as lost income.

  • Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Insurance: This insures you against damage caused by someone else who doesn’t have appropriate liability coverage. If you are the victim of a hit-and-run, for example, then this coverage can pay for your car’s damage.


Additionally, other policies and endorsements might help you expand your benefits, such as: 

  • Roadside Assistance 

  • Rental Car Reimbursement

  • Custom Parts Coverage

  • Replacement Cost Vehicle Coverage

  • Gap Insurance


You will also need to add other benefits like inland marine insurance or motor truck cargo coverage to your policy portfolio in order to insure the equipment or cargo transported within these vehicles. 

When is commercial auto insurance required? 

Numerous vehicles might need commercial auto insurance, including: 

  • Vehicles owned by a business

  • Employees who drive their personal cars on business-related errands

  • Company cars provided to employees for commercial and private use

  • Vehicles hired or rented by the business

  • Certain personal vehicles that qualify as commercial due to their weights or sizes


All commercial auto insurance policies must contain minimum amounts of coverage as required by Connecticut law. These are: 

  • Bodily Injury Liability Coverage: $25,000 per person/$50,000 per accident

  • Property Damage Liability Coverage: $25,000 per accident

  • Uninsured Motorist Coverage: $25,000 per person/$50,000 per accident


 If you have financed your vehicles, then you might also be required to purchase collision, comprehensive and other physical damage benefits. Commercial truckers and others must also meet minimum coverage standards set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). 

Speak to your agent to learn more about your coverage needs.
