What is commercial auto insurance?
Commercial auto insurance covers business vehicles for things like:
- Damage to your vehicle(s)
- Driver injury
- Injury to someone else
- Damage to someone else's property
Commercial auto policies usually offer higher coverage limits than personal policies; this is because business vehicles require greater protection in the event of accidents. The policy limit for an insurance policy may vary based on the vehicle type. Speak to a GEICO insurance specialist to find the best coverage tailored to your needs.
Commercial auto insurance is similar to a personal auto insurance policy. It can cover liabilities, collisions, comprehensive, medical payments (or personal injury protection), underinsured (UIM) and uninsured motorists (UM). In some states, UM/UIM coverages are not required and can be declined in writing.
Note that there are differences between a commercial auto insurance policy and personal auto insurance policy. These differences include eligibility, definitions, coverages, exclusions, and limitations.
