Factors that determine Business Use:
  • Many business people use the same vehicle for both business and personal use. If the vehicle is owned by the business, make sure the name of the business appears on the policy as principal insured or as additional interest.
  • Most auto carriers will add Business Use Endorsement to your personal auto for an additional premium based on your occupation and use.
  • Advertising with magnetic signs or lettering on your vehicle may automatically disqualify you for personal business use rates. Check with your agent.
  • We can help you determine if Commercial Auto Coverage is necessary, especially if you are self-employed and your personal vehicle is in your business name. Example: You are a skilled worker who travels to different job sites to do carpentry. Is this commercial use? With some companies, it may be. As an independent agent we can find you the best price.
  • We can help you determine the amount of coverage required to protect not only your personal assets, but also your business assets, especially if your vehicle has double exposure due to its use.
  • Personal Umbrella Insurance can also provide you with inexpensive additional coverage to protect your business and personal assets.
