A vehicle used for business can create a different exposure from personal driving. Commercial auto pricing reflects the vehicle, the driver, how and where it is used, and the limits the business selects.
- Describe your operations accurately
- Match limits, deductibles and policy forms
- Confirm requirements with a licensed professional

Information an insurer may request
Prepare vehicle identification numbers, garaging addresses, ownership, annual mileage, operating radius, business use, cargo or equipment details, and a complete driver list. Inaccurate or incomplete driver information can undermine a quote.
- Vehicle type, age, value, and weight
- Driver age, license, and motor-vehicle record
- Local, intermediate, or long-distance radius
- Tools, goods, passengers, or trailers carried
- Prior auto claims and continuous coverage
Coverage choices
A proposal may include liability, physical damage, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, medical payments or personal injury protection, hired and non-owned auto, and other state-specific features. Availability and requirements vary by jurisdiction.
Compare total operating protection
Check liability limits, comprehensive and collision deductibles, scheduled vehicles and drivers, symbols describing covered autos, towing or rental provisions, and exclusions. Businesses subject to motor-carrier rules should verify federal and state filing requirements separately.
Compare the real first-year cost
Premium is only one line of a proposal. Add fees and installment charges, then compare equivalent coverage.
