Commercial Vehicle Insurance in Franklinton, LA

Whether you’re operating a large fleet of vans for courier service or using your personal vehicle to make sales calls for your job, commercial vehicle insurance is an important consideration. It’s important to know what usages and types of vehicles are not covered by your personal policy.

Do I need a Commercial Vehicle Insurance Policy in Addition to my Personal Auto Insurance?

We’ll need to speak with you in person in order to accurately assess your vehicle usage and determine your need for commercial auto coverage. But in general, consider the following questions:

• Do you use her vehicle to transport goods or people?
• Do you use your vehicle to perform services as part of your business?
• Do you need higher limits of liability than a personal auto policy will provide?
• Are you hauling loads (tools, considerable weight, a trailer)?
• Is ownership of the vehicle in the name of a business entity rather than a private individual?
• Are employees (individuals other than that named specifically on the policy) operating the vehicle?

If you answered “yes” or “maybe” to any of the questions above, you should consider a commercial auto/vehicle policy. We can help you identify the coverages and amount that you need.

What Does Commercial Vehicle Insurance Cover?

Below are some of the basic commercial vehicle insurance coverages to consider:
