Show video transcript Common questions Does commercial auto insurance cover personal use? Yes. While personal auto insurance doesn’t cover a vehicle if it’s being used for business purposes, commercial auto insurance covers your vehicle for both commercial and personal use. How much will my insurance go up if I’m involved in an accident with my commercial vehicle? An accident doesn’t affect the rate of your current policy, but it could affect your rate when your policy is renewed. Your policy is rewritten every time it expires to reflect your current situation. Accident-related rate changes are determined by various factors such as who was at fault, the cost of the claim and your accident history. So, accidents are considered when determining your rate, but an increase isn’t guaranteed. I was involved in a not-at-fault accident in my commercial vehicle. Do I still have to pay my deductible? Maybe. Deductibles apply whenever your policy’s collision or comprehensive coverages are used, regardless of who is at-fault. If the at-fault party was insured, we’ll attempt to recover your deductible from their insurance company. If they didn’t have insurance, we’ll attempt to collect it directly from them. Either way, the process of recovering your deductible from the other party is called “subrogation”. Does commercial auto insurance cover theft of personal items? Not necessarily. A commercial auto policy covers the vehicle and any permanently attached items, such as a ladder rack or a truck bed toolbox, but it doesn’t cover the ladders and tools themselves. For the contents of your vehicle to be covered, you’d need a business liability policy with an inland marine endorsement. Do I have to use the body shop Progressive recommends to repair my commercial vehicle? No. No matter what type of commercial vehicle you have, the shop you choose for repairs is your decision. You can choose your own shop or one of ours. For heavy vehicles, like semi-trucks, we maintain a countrywide network of over 100 specialized shops. Each has been evaluated for work quality, speed and reliability. Additionally, Progressive provides a Limited Lifetime Repair Guarantee for repairs completed at one of these shops. Do I need special insurance to deliver pizza or other goods for a fee? Yes, most likely. Most personal auto insurance policies won’t cover losses that occur while delivering for a fee. This includes pizza delivery and most other delivery services. If you don’t have a commercial policy on your vehicle and you get into a work-related accident, your claim might be denied and you could be held personally responsible for the damages. A commercial auto policy can prevent this from happening. Does Progressive offer commercial auto insurance in my state? Yes. Progressive insures commercial vehicles in all 50 states. We currently don’t write policies in Washington D.C. More information Which commercial auto coverages do I need?
