What Is Commercial Auto Insurance for Small Business?
Commercial auto insurance helps protect you or your employees on the road if you’re driving a vehicle for business. If you get into an accident, this coverage can help pay for property damage and medical expenses.
It also has liability coverage to help pay for legal costs if a lawsuit is brought against you or an employee.
Commercial auto insurance is different from personal auto insurance. Commercial policies only cover company-owned cars, while personal policies cover cars used for personal reasons.
