Commercial auto insurance offers protection against common losses associated with theft, damage, injury or death involving your business vehicles. It has similarities with the coverage for personal auto insurance. However, policies for commercial vehicles are more complex depending on a number of factors and due to the entailed risks.
Currently, there are over 3 million businesses in California across various industries. These businesses require vehicles to operate and there should be adequate protection for these vehicles.
The rates of insurance coverage vary due to a number of factors such as type of vehicle, extent of coverage, and the insurance company. Do your research so you can compare coverage rates available for commercial auto insurance in California.
In California, the minimum auto coverage for personal auto insurance is at $15,000 (if there is a death or injury involved in the accident). For multiple injuries or deaths, the minimum coverage required is $30,000.
The minimum requirement for commercial auto insurance is slightly different, however. The minimum coverage for property damage is at $5,000 and $15,000 for bodily injury or death (per person) or $30,000 for multiple injuries or deaths. A minimum coverage of $5,000 is required for property damage.
Although not required by law, a separate insurance known as hired and non-owned auto insurance must be obtained when using personal vehicle for business purposes. Personal auto policies do not cover your vehicle when used for business. Another option is to add this coverage to your general liability insurance.
The cost of insuring large commercial vehicles such as heavy truck or semi-truck are higher compared to other business vehicles like van or SUV. These types of vehicles have much higher liability so there should be adequate coverage for that. And don't forget bobtail insurance if that's how you will be using your truck.
