Does Your Business Need a Commercial Auto Policy?

If you operate a business in Texas and use vehicles for work, you may be wondering whether you need a commercial auto policy. Understanding when commercial auto insurance is necessary and what it covers can help protect your business from unexpected costs and legal issues. At Rapido Financial, we guide Texas business owners through the process of securing the right coverage for their unique needs.

When Is Commercial Auto Insurance Needed?

Commercial auto insurance is designed for vehicles used in the course of business. You may need a commercial policy if:

• Your business owns, leases, or rents vehicles.
• Employees drive their own or company vehicles for business tasks.
• You transport goods, equipment, or people for a fee.
• Your vehicle is registered or titled in your business’s name.

Even if you use a personal vehicle for business errands, your personal auto policy may not cover accidents that occur while conducting business activities. Texas law also requires minimum liability coverage for vehicles, and commercial policies can help ensure you meet these requirements.

What Does a Commercial Auto Policy Cover?

A commercial auto policy may include:

• Liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage to others
• Physical damage coverage for your vehicles (collision and comprehensive)
• Medical payments or personal injury protection
• Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
• Coverage for employees and additional drivers

Depending on your business, you may also need specialized options such as coverage for trailers, hired or non-owned vehicles, or vehicles with custom equipment.
