What Is Business Auto Insurance?

Business auto insurance, also called commercial auto insurance protects vehicles used for work purposes and the business itself if an accident occurs.

Unlike personal auto policies, commercial auto insurance provides:

• Higher liability limits

• Coverage for employees driving

• Protection for business equipment

• Coverage for multiple vehicles

It’s essential for businesses that own, lease, or regularly use vehicles for operations.

Pays for injuries or property damage caused by your company vehicle. This is required by Arizona law.

Covers repairs or replacement if your vehicle is damaged in an accident.

Covers medical expenses for drivers and passengers after an accident.

Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist
