Commercial Auto Insurance
Commercial auto insurance is a business insurance policy that applies to autos owned by or used in your business that protects your business against liability for damages caused by accidents involving your business autos and provides certain compensation to occupants of your business autos injured in accidents.

It’s important to know that a personal automobile insurance policy usually does not cover vehicles used in the operation of your business.
