What Is Commercial Auto Insurance? 


Commercial auto insurance may include several policies designed to pay certain damages and claims, depending on your chosen coverage.  


In Texas, all company vehicles must have liability insurance coverage to pay for third-party property damage and injuries. With full coverage insurance, your policy may also help cover damage to company-owned vehicles.  


If your company has auto loans or leases, your lienholder will likely require comprehensive and collision coverage to help protect the property securing your loan.  


What Does Commercial Auto Insurance Cover? 


Commercial auto insurance helps pay for your company’s legal liability for third-party property damage or injuries after a car accident if you or your employee were at fault. It may cover medical costs and damage to company vehicles after a covered accident.  


Depending on your company’s situation, your agent may recommend that you purchase the following policies: 

• Liability insurance covers bodily injury and property damage, and drivers are required to carry minimum amounts of each type of liability coverage in Texas.

• Uninsured/Underinsured motorist insurance helps pay to repair or replace your vehicle if you are in an accident and the other driver is liable but doesn’t have proper insurance coverage.

• Personal injury protection (PIP) helps pay for certain losses, including medical bills if the driver of the insured vehicle or their passengers is injured in an accident.

• Collision insurance helps pay for damages to the covered vehicle after an accident that involves colliding with another vehicle or object.

• Comprehensive insurance helps pay for non-accident-related damages, including theft, hitting an animal, fire and vandalism.

• Hired and non-owned auto (HNOA) provides coverage for vehicles (rented or leased) the business uses for business reasons but does not own.

• Guaranteed asset protection (GAP) insurance covers the gap between your car’s value and the amount due on your loan if the company’s vehicle is a total loss after an accident. 

Your agent may also recommend that you add these commercial auto coverages or endorsements: 

• Inland marine insurance 

• Rental car reimbursement 

• Replacement cost vehicle coverage

• Roadside assistance
