What Commercial Insurance Do You Need for Your Transportation Business?

Coverage requirements vary depending on the type of transportation business you have. If you have a large fleet of taxi cabs, buses or semi-trucks, you may also need an umbrella policy to protect your business assets against a catastrophic loss. Your Cross Creek Insurance agent can answer specific questions about your coverage needs in Hope HIlls, NC. In the meantime, here is some information on commercial auto policies that may benefit your business. 

Types of Commercial Auto Coverage

Liability insurance pays for bodily injury and property damage if you are at fault for an accident. Collision insurance covers the replacement or repair costs to your vehicle following an accident. If you need coverage for theft, vandalism and weather damage, comprehensive insurance has you covered, while medical payments coverage pays the medical bills of passengers and drivers injured while in a company vehicle. Your agent can help you meet the minimum standard for these policies and can also hook you up with uninsured/underinsured motorists coverage in case you’re hit by a driver lacking the required coverage.

What Is an Umbrella Policy?

An umbrella insurance policy for your commercial fleet kicks in if the damage or loss of a covered event exceeds the maximum payout of the underlying policy. Talk to your agent about the specific policies that would help you ensure you’re covered adequately.

What Other Policies Should I Consider?

There are dozens of industry-specific coverage types that might benefit your business. For example, gap insurance covers the balance of the loan for a vehicle you are financing. Roadside assistance is probably a good choice if you have any kind of transportation business, but rental coverage may not be advantageous to pay for rental car coverage if you only operate locally. If you have delivery personnel that uses their own cars, you may decide to purchase non-owned auto liability coverage to protect your drivers.
