Commercial Auto Insurance
Even if your commercial vehicles are not the primary way your business makes money, its always smart to properly insure the vehicles you depend on as a business owner.
Worried about costs?
Don’t be. Commercial auto insurance is remarkably inexpensive.
What should my business auto policy cover?
Commercial auto insurance coverage may include:
- Comprehensive and Collision
- Emergency Roadside Assistance
- Liability
- Medical Payments
- Loss of Earnings
- Uninsured Motor Vehicle
Why do I need such comprehensive coverage?
When your employees use a company vehicle for business purposes, their personal auto policy coverage no longer applies in the event of an accident, property damage, or fatality caused by one of your employees.
At our firm, you’ll speak with an experienced agent whose main goal is to design a policy to fit to your particular business needs.
Whether your commercial vehicle is for occasional use, a possible new venture, or a daily necessity, we are here to make sure coverage is applicable and answer any questions you may have.
As one business owner found out, it’s always best to ask if you don’t know what type of policies you may need.
This owner had a love for fashion and a knack for finding gently used clothing. One day, she decided to take a leap of faith and open her own vintage clothing boutique.
It didn’t take long for business to start booming for the boutique. It wasn’t long before she had an epiphany: Why not complete personal deliveries for locals?
It wasn't long before she was making deliveries, when the unthinkable occurred: she backed into a young man on a bicycle. While he was not seriously injured, he was hospitalized overnight for monitoring.
The next day a claims adjuster called to inform her that since she was doing business at the time of the accident, the claim would not be covered by her personal insurance policy.
Stuck with a huge hospital bill and letter of lawsuit from the biker’s attorney, she was forced to shut down her business.
Can you afford to expose your income, your personal property, and your employees to this high-level of risk? If the answer is “no,” then we can help.

The more your assets grow, the higher your liability risks are. No matter how well you’ve covered your bases, sometimes things go wrong. A car accident. A guest who slips and falls on your property. A lawsuit. If you don’t have the right coverage, an unfortunate situation can compromise your financial security and put your personal assets at risk.
An excess policy responds when the underlying liability limits of your other policies, such as home and auto, aren’t enough to cover the unexpected costs of a lawsuit or accident.
It is important to note that most Canadian insurance policies carry on average $1,000,000 of liability coverage.
