Protect Your Fleet With Commercial Auto Insurance
As a business owner in Florida, your fleet of vehicles is the backbone of your organization. Whether you only have a few cars, a couple of trucks or an entire fleet of vehicles working on your behalf, finding affordable, comprehensive fleet coverage is a must if you want to save money and keep your company well protected on the roads.
What is commercial Auto Coverage?
Much like your personal auto coverage, fleet insurance assists you with expensive claims for repairs or replacement vehicles, as well as protecting your own liability and offering extensive medical coverage.
While road conditions, negligent drivers and extreme weather may all be out of your control, having the right commercial auto cover can help to keep your business afloat should the worst happen.
Coverage can be custom made to suit your own individual circumstances, but there are some minimum requirements that must be met in the state of Florida to ensure that your business is compliant with the law. These include:
- Florida is a no-fault state and requires you to carry Personal injury protection (PIP) of $10,000.
- Property damage liability insurance of at least $10,000.
Your fleet vehicles are different from the other commercial equipment used in your business because they are often in situations that are out of your control when on the road.
Comprehensive commercial fleet insurance should also cover your against:
Bodily Injury Liability – that covers damages that involve bodily injury to others for which you become responsible under the law.

Additional Expense – that covers any necessary additional expenses incurred as a result of a loss for which you are protected under comprehensive or collision coverage. These expenses include rental cars, food, lodging and other incidental expenses.
