THE DETAILS THAT MATTER
Coverage that travels with your business.
List the vehicles, drivers, garaging locations and business use accurately. A truck carrying tools between jobs is a different risk from a personal commuter car.
Discuss hired and non-owned auto exposure when employees use personal vehicles or your business rents trucks.
Compare liability limits, collision and comprehensive deductibles, trailers and any contract-required endorsements.
Read the coverage boundaries.
Tools inside a vehicle are generally a separate coverage question. Personal auto may restrict business use. Hired/non-owned liability does not automatically cover damage to a rented vehicle.
A common question
That depends on the policy and the actual business use. Have the use reviewed before relying on personal auto for contractor operations.
