Commercial Auto Insurance for Your Business

When you own a business, there are many things to consider. Here’s one more thing: if you or your employees drive vehicles paid for by your company, you need a separate commercial auto insurance policy. Your personal auto policy will not cover both your personal and business vehicles, but a commercial auto policy will.In addition, a business auto policy will typically allow you to buy higher limits of coverage than on a personal auto policy, which more adequately protects your business.

What does commercial auto insurance cover?

Before you invest in an insurance policy, you probably want to know what it includes. More coveragescan be added with an additional cost to your annual premium, but these are the basics:

  • Auto liability coveragehelps you to pay for any damages or injuries that were caused by either you or your employees. Accidents can be costly, so this coverage helps soften the financial blow to your business. This is especially important in the event that your company is sued and must pay for legal advice.
  • Physical damage and collision coverageis used to pay for repairs in the event that your company vehicle is involved in an accident regardless of whether you or your employee were at fault.
  • Comprehensive coverageor other than collision (OTC) coverage pays for repairs that were caused by something other than a collision. For example, theft, weather-related incidents, vandalism, fire, etc. all fall under comprehensive coverage.If you live in an area with high crime rates or particularly violent weather, this coverage is a worthy investment.
  • Medical payments coveragehelps pay for any medical treatment as a result of an injury from an accident regardless of fault for you and your employees.
  • Uninsured motorist coverageprotects you in the event that you’re involved in an accident with someone that is driving without insurance. Similarly,underinsured motorist coverageis used to cover you when you’re in an accident with a driver that carries insurance limits too low to cover damage or any medical expenses.

Our construction company recently switched over to Risk Averse Insurance. We moved all of our policies over to this company. Our agent, Don Blizzard, was amazing! He was upfront and explained everything to us so we understood what we were getting. He made the process very easy and the turn around was very fast! There were no issues! Not only did we get great deals, we got better coverage than we ever had. I would definitely recommend this company! They are the best!

Ive worked with Don for the last few year's. When I started my buisness I knew I needed help and didn't know where to start.I knew I needed an absolute beast of an agent and every other owner/ operator I talked too said if "You don't have Don Blizzard as an agent then you dont have the best agent. "He took a chance and helped me grow my buisness to where its at today. Riskaverse is the absolute best and since starting my buisness all my insurance is through them with help from Don Blizzard. He has a way to explain it to me where I understand my coverage and exposure and the commercial side including Meghan are the absolute best at getting COI'S sent to potential clients within minutes of requesting the copy.Hands down I only go where Don goes and I know whatever policies are written and where my coverage goes my loyalty will always lay with Don.He took a chance and grew with me and I'm forever grateful to all the staff at RiskAverse for being family and buisness friendly and not looking at me as a number or a client but actually caring and finding us the best for which suits our needs.#TeamDonBlizzard #TeamRiskAverse#TeamMegan
