Whether you run one work truck or an entire fleet, Commercial Auto Insurance is essential. Personal auto insurance won’t cover vehicles being used for business purposes — and finding out after a claim is an expensive mistake.
At Crosswinds Insurance Agency, we help businesses get commercial auto coverage tailored to their operations.
What Is Commercial Auto Insurance?
Commercial Auto covers vehicles that are owned, leased, or used for business.
This includes:
Trucks
Vans
SUVs
Service vehicles
Business-owned cars
Trailers
Box trucks
Work vehicles carrying tools or equipment
If it’s used for work, it needs commercial coverage.
What Does Commercial Auto Cover?
A commercial auto policy typically includes:
1. Liability Coverage
Covers injuries or property damage you cause to others while driving for business.
2. Physical Damage: Comprehensive & Collision
Collision covers accidents involving other vehicles or objects.
Comprehensive covers theft, vandalism, weather events, falling objects, and animal strikes.
3. Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
Protects your drivers if they are hit by someone with little or no insurance.
4. Medical Payments
Covers medical expenses for your driver or passengers after an accident.
5. Hired & Non-Owned Auto
Covers employees driving their own cars for business
— vital for contractors, salespeople, delivery workers, and anyone who uses personal vehicles for work.
Who Needs Commercial Auto Insurance?
You likely need commercial auto if you:
Transport tools or equipment
Drive to job sites
Make deliveries
Operate work trucks or vans
Haul trailers
Carry clients or employees
Run any vehicle primarily for business use
If it’s tied to your business, it should be insured as such.
