Whether you have a single company vehicle or an entire fleet, business auto insurance protects your vehicles, drivers, and business from the financial impact of accidents, theft, and other covered incidents. With California’s extensive highway system and heavy traffic, comprehensive auto coverage is essential for business continuity.
Collision Coverage: Repairs or replacement when your vehicle hits another object
Comprehensive Coverage: Protection against theft, vandalism, weather, and other non-collision damage
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist: Protection when other drivers lack adequate insurance
Medical Payments Coverage: Immediate medical expenses regardless of fault
Rental Reimbursement: Temporary vehicle costs during repairs
Roadside Assistance: Towing, battery jumps, flat tire changes, lockout service
Who Needs Business Auto Insurance:
Businesses that own or lease vehicles
Companies whose employees drive personal vehicles for work (hired/non-owned coverage)
Contractors and service providers who travel to job sites
Delivery and transportation businesses
Sales teams that visit clients
Any business that uses vehicles for commercial purposes
California Considerations: California requires minimum liability coverage for all business vehicles, but these minimums are often inadequate. The state's high cost of living means accident settlements frequently exceed basic limits. Our policies exceed state minimums to provide comprehensive protection against the high costs of accidents and liability claims in California's busy traffic environment.
