Do You Have The Best Business Auto Insurance For Your Business?

One auto accident that is not covered properly can cost you your business!

Even if your business vehicles are not the primary way your business makes money, they may be the primary way your company loses money. Without a great Maryland business auto insurance policy you may be overpaying and left underinsured.

Business auto insurance for box truck | Huff Insurance | Pasadena MarylandBusiness auto insurance is different than personal vehicle insurance.

Not only are there generally multiple vehicles but the liability from accidents or claims extends to your business.

With a business auto,  you may have employees driving your vehicles.  And although you can check their Maryland motor vehicle report to be sure that they are a safe driver, you are not with them every minute to make sure that they are using good judgement.

As your employees drive up and down Anne Arundel county roads, are they making the same decisions you would? Do they have the same driving habits as you?

You need to make sure that your coverage levels for your business auto insurance are high enough to protect your business and you personally from any claims–even unwarranted ones.

When your employee is driving your company’s van, it is as if all of your assets are in the back of the van.  If they cause an accident on Route 100 in Glen Burnie that is devastating, is your current auto limits sufficient to provide enough protection that you don’t have to sell the assets of your business to pay the rest of the claim?

Worried about costs? Don’t be. Business Auto Insurance is affordable–especially given how important the protection is to your business.

The best business auto insurance can cover all of the following risks:

  • Comprehensive and Collision
  • Emergency Roadside Assistance
  • Liability
  • Medical Payments
  • Loss of earnings
  • Uninsured Motor Vehicle

Maryland Business Auto Insurance is available to any business owner who owns vehicles used for a commercial purpose. Coverage protects owners against damage and liability claims.

When should I have a business auto insurance policy instead of a personal auto policy?

If you have any of the following situations then you need a commercial auto insurance policy:

  • Go to more than 2 job sites a day
  • Use your vehicle in delivery
  • Have employees drive your vehicle
  • Carry more than 500 lbs of business equipment or supplies in your vehicle
  • Want additional limits of protection beyond what is available on the personal lines policy forms
  • Have the vehicle titled in a business or LLC name
  • The vehicle is more than 10,000 gross vehicle weight

One other area of concern for your business auto is Pollution Liability.  If your business vehicle is involved in an accident, the fuel leakage could cause damage that you would be liable for.  This risk can be offset with the use of a Pollution Liability Insurance Policy.
