Commercial Auto Insurance
Your vehicles. Your drivers. Your exposure.
A work truck rear-ends someone at a light. An employee runs an errand for you in her own car and causes an injury. A rented van gets damaged on a job. Commercial auto covers the vehicles your business owns, and with the right endorsement, the ones it doesn't. That second part is where we find the most gaps, because a personal auto policy usually excludes business use and your employee's insurer will say so quickly.

How we work
What a commercial advisor should actually do.
Your advisor
A named human, not a 1-800 number.
You get one advisor who learns your operation, knows your team, and remembers what happened at the last renewal. Same person at year five as at year one.
Proactive reviews
We call before renewal, not after a problem.
Annual proactive reviews. Quarterly check-ins for fast-growth clients. If you opened a new location, hired your fiftieth employee, or signed a major contract, we want to know before your policy does.
Carrier breadth
Independent access to diverse markets.
We're not tied to one carrier's appetite. Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Hartford, Cincinnati, Chubb, and dozens of other standard and specialty markets, we shop where your risk profile actually fits.
One roof
Commercial, benefits, and personal - coordinated.
Your business coverage, your team's benefits, and your personal insurance can all live under one advisory relationship. No more retelling your story to three different people.

Think you are covered correctly now?
Let us take a look at your current coverage.
Send us your current commercial auto policy and your vehicle schedule. We will confirm every vehicle is actually listed, check whether you have hired and non-owned coverage for employees driving their own cars, and look at whether your liability limit is realistic for a serious injury claim. State minimums are not a plan.
