Many times as a business
owner you are put in a position where you must call upon
an employee to run to the hardware store, pickup office
supplies or just to go pickup lunch. Just think of it in
these terms, if someone (paid or volunteer) is driving
on behalf of your company in a vehicle your company does
not own, there is a potential gap in coverage. The
driver’s insurance would be the primary insurance, but
if their limits were not high enough to cover the
damages from an accident, your company would be liable
for the balance. Normally, a business auto insurance
policy will only insure your company vehicles and will
not cover a non-owned auto vehicle. Therefore, it is
important that you find out if they are included. If
they are not, you might want to consider adding them.
Another factor to consider is that if they have not
listed their vehicle for business use, there may be no
coverage at all. |
