What does Commercial Auto Insurance cover?
As noted above, commercial auto insurance is similar to that of your personal car insurance policy. It provides coverages such as liability, collision, comprehensive, medical payments (or personal injury protection) and uninsured motorists coverage to Texas businesses.
However, it should be known that there are definitely differences between your personal car insurnace policy and a commercial auto insurance policy. We would happy to discuss with you the differences of each policy so you are sure you understand what is covered and with what limits, exclusions and the like.
Most commercial auto policies are "named driver only" policies, meaning only those drivers listed on the policy can operate a covered auto.
