A personal auto policy will not cover a business claim. If your employees drive for work, you have a coverage gap right now that could end your business.
Commercial auto coverage isn't one-size-fits-all. Here's who we serve and why it matters for each sector
Your trucks are your business. We cover the whole job from jobsite to highway.
Box trucks, sprinter vans, and driver fleets need commercial auto -- personal policies exclude business-use deliveries outright.
Landscape businesses operate on tight margins. One denied claim can wipe a season of work.
When your employees drive to client sites, HNOA coverage is required. Most service businesses don't know they're missing it.
Trade contractors have vehicles that personal insurers won't touch. We handle the commercial filing.
Agents and property managers who drive for business need non-owned auto coverage that protects the company from vicarious liability.
Here is a situation that plays out every year for small business owners in Herriman, UT: an employee takes a company vehicle to a job site, runs a red light, and hits another driver. The injured driver files a claim. Your insurer reviews the policy and denies coverage because the vehicle was in commercial use and you only carried a personal auto policy. You are now personally liable for medical bills, vehicle damage, and a potential lawsuit -- out of pocket, with no insurer standing beside you.
Commercial auto insurance is structured differently than personal coverage by design. A commercial policy names the business as the insured party, which means the coverage extends to the business's liability regardless of which employee is driving and regardless of whether that vehicle is registered personally or under the business name. This matters enormously when your contracts, your clients, and your business licensing depend on proof of commercial coverage.
We work with business owners in Herriman and across Herriman, UT to build commercial auto policies that reflect how their operations actually run. That means real coverage for real drivers, real vehicles, and real business liability. It means certificates of insurance ready for client contracts. It means DOT filings handled correctly. And it means someone who answers when you call -- not an automated line and a waiting period when you are standing at an accident scene.
Beyond basic liability, commercial auto can include hired and non-owned auto coverage (HNOA) for employees who use personal vehicles on company business, which is one of the most commonly missed coverage gaps in the market today. If an employee runs an errand for your business in their personal car and causes an accident, your business could face a lawsuit. HNOA exists to close that exact gap. Commercial policies can also include uninsured motorist coverage, collision and comprehensive for your fleet, medical payments for drivers and passengers, and cargo coverage for goods or tools you carry.
Understanding the coverage gap is the first step toward closing it
