North Carolina Commercial Auto Insurance

Keeping your on-the-road assets protected

If you are in business, chances are you rely on one or more vehicles for business purposes. If so, you likely need North Carolina commercial auto insurance coverage. Don’t be deceived by the word “auto” – this coverage encompasses trucks, vans, limos, taxis, cars, and a wide variety of other business-use vehicles. The vehicles may be owned, leased, or rented and can range in number from a single delivery van to a fleet of trucks. If your vehicle is registered as a commercial vehicle or if you use it for business, then you need commercial auto insurance.

 

Vehicles that would require a North Carolina commercial auto policy may include:

  • Business use vehicles: A contractor’s pickup truck
  • Vehicles used to transport goods: Box trucks for a moving company or cars used to make food or floral deliveries
  • Transporting people – a fleet of taxis or a day-care school van

A potentially costly mistake

To many of our North Carolina and South Carolina small business neighbors, the need for commercial auto insurance comes as a surprise. It’s not uncommon for entrepreneurs and small business owners to rely on their own personal cars or trucks to tool around town, make their deliveries, and conduct their business. This is a risky practice that leaves your business and personal assets exposed to liability. Most personal policies won’t cover an accident that happens on business time – you would most likely need to boost your protection with a commercial auto policy.

 

The right kind of policy for you will depend on several details, such as who or what the car transports and how much you drive each day. There may be other considerations or rules that come into play: For example, if you have large trucks, you may need truck liability; if you engage in inter-state transportation, there are federal requirements; if you provide certain types of public transportation, you may be subject to Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) rules for safety-sensitive workers.
