Contractors Commercial Auto Insurance FAQs

Commercial auto insurance is a type of insurance policy designed to protect construction businesses against risks involved in operating commercially owned vehicles. This policy safeguards contractors against significant legal expenses, repair costs and other financial risks that can stem from operating business-owned vehicles like trucks and vans.

Commercial auto insurance for contractors covers a variety of auto liability risks that come with owning and operating vehicles for business purposes, including:

  • Collisions
  • Theft
  • Vandalism
  • Property damage
  • Third-party injuries

One of the biggest threats to commercial vehicles is accidents on the road, which can introduce bodily injury liability and damage to vehicles. Without commercial auto insurance, your business may face significant expenses following a collision, which can threaten the profitability and overall sustainability of your operations. Auto insurance for contractors is designed to mitigate these financial threats, ensuring your business and its employees are protected every time they set out on the road.

Contractors rely on transportation to move personnel, tools and materials to and from job sites, allowing them to complete their daily tasks and keep project timelines moving forward. Whether your business owns a single vehicle or a fleet of trucks or vans, commercial auto insurance can help protect against property damage, third-party injuries and other incidents stemming from vehicle use.

In today’s increasingly complex risk environment, commercial auto insurance isn’t just a best practice; it’s often essential for contractors to meet state-required coverage levels and client requirements. Our team of insurance specialists at Astrus can help you navigate commercial auto insurance requirements and develop a customized insurance program that meets your needs.
