Commercial Insurance vs Personal Insurance
|
Unsure whether you need a personal or commercial auto insurance policy? The following are points to consider when deciding which kind of insurance policy you need.
|
|
Who drives and owns the vehicle?
If your car is owned by your business, most likely, you'll need a commercial auto insurance policy. However, If you're a sole proprietor, you might only need a personal auto insurance policy. The type of policy you need also depends on how often the vehicle is used and what it's used for. |
How do you use the vehicle?
If you use your vehicle for business purposes, you'll probably need a commercial auto insurance policy. If you're a sole proprietor who uses your car or truck to commute, or only travels to 1 or 2 clients a day, you might only need a personal auto insurance policy. |
|
What type and weight is your vehicle?
If your business vehicle is tow truck, dump truck, delivery, or commercial trailer, you probably need a commercial auto insurance policy. The heavy vehicle, the more damage they cause if involved in an accident and may even require special coverage. |
Does your business liability limits?
If your business has higher than normal liability limits, you most likely need a commercial auto insurance policy, as these policies typically offer higher limits than personal auto insurance policies. |
