Contractors Insurance continues to provide commercial auto insurance and multiple policies covering other risks and liabilities that businesses in varying industries face. With our years of experience and excellent customer service, you know you are in good hands.

What Is Commercial Auto Insurance?

Commercial auto insurance is a policy that covers damages to company-owned vehicles. If you or an employee damages another vehicle, a property owned by a third party, or bodily injures a third-party individual, this is covered as well.

To be more precise, here are some standard and optional commercial auto insurance coverages:

Auto Liability

If you or your employee damages or bodily injures a third-party property or individual, this coverage can provide legal defence and settlement fees.

Medical Coverage

If you, an employee, or a third party gets in a covered accident while in a company-owned vehicle, this insurance type can pay for medical fees.

Collision Coverage

If a company-owned vehicle being driven by you or an employee collides with or gets hit by an object or another vehicle, this coverage pays for damages to the company vehicle.

Comprehensive Coverage

This coverage pays for damages to your company vehicle caused by theft, vandalism, or natural disasters such as fire, flood, and other covered perils.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

If an uninsured motorist causes bodily injuries to your driver and passengers in your vehicle, this coverage can pay for damages and medical fees.

How Can Commercial Auto Insurance Benefit Your Business?

Commercial auto insurance can be a great addition to your other liability insurance policies if:

• Your business owns a vehicle;
• Your company-owned vehicle costs more to repair or has a higher risk of causing more damage;
• You use the company vehicle for day-to-day business-related operations, including but not limited to transporting materials and equipment to and from job sites and employees and clients; or
• You require higher liability coverage due to the nature of your work. 

Commercial auto insurance does not cover the following:

• Your personal vehicle, unless its sole use is for business purposes;
• Items you transport in the vehicle;
• Rented or leased vehicles; and
• Vehicles used for ridesharing.

Why Is It Important for Ontario Business Owners To Have Commercial Auto Insurance?
