Frequently asked questions about commercial auto insurance
Do I need commercial auto insurance for DoorDash or Uber?
Yes, you would need commercial insurance if you did deliveries on behalf of a company like DoorDash or Uber. You may be able to acquire insurance through your employer (DoorDash offers an auto policy with up to $1,000,000 in bodily injury/property damage) although you would still need to carry personal insurance for your vehicle when you aren’t working.
Does commercial auto insurance cover personal use?
No. If you or an employee uses a personal vehicle to do deliveries, transport passengers through a rideshare app, or haul materials, then you or that employee would still need to have a personal policy to cover you during times when you aren’t actively earning income.
Is commercial auto insurance cheaper than personal?
Not usually. Commercial vehicles may be driven further and more frequently than personal vehicles, and they may face more exposures due to the nature of what they do. Statistically, the chances of a loss are far greater, so you won’t find many commercial auto policies that are cheaper than personal ones.
