Business Auto / Truck

Wholesalers Insurance Business Auto

Even if you utilize 100% third party shippers, business auto coverage should be a part of your wholesalers insurance strategy.

  • Owned autos
    • Personal passenger type vehicles
    • Vans
    • Trucks
    • Semi tractors and trailers
  • Local, intermediate, and long haul
  • Non-owned (employee-owned or borrowed) vehicle liability
    • This coverage is needed if your employees ever drive their own vehicles on behalf of the business. Examples include running errands, picking up mail, or obtaining supplies. Should they be in an accident while working for the business, non-owned auto liability coverage as a part of your warehouse insurance strategy protects the organization.
    • Ever borrow another business’s truck in a pinch? Non-owned business auto coverage is where you receive protection.
  • Hired (rented) vehicle liability
    • With or without driver
    • Protects your business against liability associated with rented vehicles not listed on the policy. Longer term rentals or leases are typically added to the policy, but liability for short term rentals, even rental cars for business travel, is found here.
  • Limited physical damage for hired / rented autos.
  • Lease / Loan gap
  • Rental reimbursement
  • Towing and labor
  • Blanket additional insured
