The minimum requirements for a standard policy include coverage for personal injury, bodily injury, and property damage. However, there are significant differences between commercial and personal auto insurance that you should understand before choosing a policy.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does Commercial Auto Insurance Differ from a Personal Policy?<\/h2>\n<p>Commercial auto insurance typically offers higher coverage limits than a personal policy. It also covers employees driving a company vehicle and accidents that occur when a vehicle is used for commercial purposes. Such purposes can include delivering orders to customers, transporting goods for sale at a local market, or visiting prospective clients. For instance, if you create custom T-shirts at home and have a traffic accident while delivering your shirts to a warehouse or local market, a personal auto insurance policy would not cover the accident as the vehicle was being used for commercial purposes. Conversely, commuting to and from your job is covered by a personal policy.<\/p>\n<h2>Learn More from Creative Risk Management LLC<\/h2>\n<p>It is crucial to ensure you have the right type of insurance coverage for your vehicle.
