Commercial Coverage Options
Liability
Helps cover costs if your business vehicle is involved in an accident that causes injury or property damage to others.
Collision & Comprehensive
Collision covers damage to your vehicle from an accident. Comprehensive covers non-collision events like theft or vandalism.
Uninsured Motorist
Protects your business if one of your vehicles is hit by a driver who lacks sufficient insurance coverage.
Medical / PIP
Helps cover medical expenses for drivers and passengers in your business vehicle regardless of who is at fault.
Hired & Non-Owned Auto
This coverage is important for businesses where employees use personal vehicles for business errands, or for companies that rent temporary vehicles for business use.
Commercial Auto for Contractors
For Texas contractors, your truck is more than just transportation—it's your mobile office and equipment locker. We help coordinate your auto coverage with your business insurance and liability policies for seamless protection.
One Vehicle or Multiple?
Commercial auto insurance isn't just for massive fleets. Whether you operate a single work truck or a dozen service vans, we can help find coverage tailored to your scale.
Personal vs. Commercial
A personal auto policy may not cover claims that occur during business use. If your vehicle is registered to a business or primarily used for work tasks, a commercial policy is often necessary.
A Note on Tools & Equipment
Standard commercial auto insurance typically does not cover the business tools or equipment carried inside the vehicle. Separate inland marine or equipment coverage may be needed to protect your gear.
