Do I need Commercial Auto Insurance as a Contractor?
Are you a general contractor? Do you own or are planning to buy a work van/truck where you will carry tools and equipment and drive to clients homes/job sites? Do you have employees who use your vehicles for various work related tasks?
If this is the case, you will require a commercial auto insurance policy for your vehicle. If you take a closer look at your personal auto insurance policy and application, you will see commercial use of the vehicle is not included in your policy.
Should an accident happen while you are driving to a clients house or on the job, the insurance company may reject your claim as you have breached the contract.
This is the last thing you would want as many claims cost in excess of $10,000!
The good news: Commercial auto insurance policies in many cases are much cheaper than standard personal auto policies.
Over the last few years, personal insurance rates have been increasing very quickly due to claims, vehicle repair costs and fraud while commercial rates have been more stable.
How Can I get The Best Contractor Vehicle Insurance Rate?
