Types of Vehicles Covered Under Commercial Auto & Fleet Policies
Commercial auto insurance is a broad coverage category designed for company-owned, leased, or employee-operated vehicles used for business purposes.
A tailored policy or commercial fleet program can cover a wide array of business vehicles, including:
- Company Cars & Passenger Vehicles used by sales teams, executives, or field representatives
- Cargo Vans, Sprinter Vans, & Service Trucks used by contractors, delivery teams, and service technicians
- Light, Medium, and Heavy-Duty Trucks used in commercial operations and haulage
- Buses, Shuttle Vans, & Transport Vehicles used for passenger transport
- Food Trucks & Mobile Commercial Units requiring specialized vehicle and equipment protection
Insuring commercial vehicles involves evaluating key risk factors, including driver safety histories, vehicle usage, haulage radius, annual mileage, and specific payload risks.
