\nPersonal auto policies are designed for non-commercial use and usually only cover basic liability, collision, and medical payments. They don\u2019t<\/em> cover vehicles used to transport paying passengers.<\/p>\n
\nCommercial auto insurance is built specifically for limousine services. It includes:<\/p>\n\n
\n
\nLimousines are high-value vehicles often transporting VIP clients. If you\u2019re involved in an accident or lawsuit, low coverage limits might not cover the full cost\u2014leaving your business to pick up the rest.<\/p>\n
\nWork with a knowledgeable insurance agent who understands the limo industry. At Cal-Society, we help you assess your risk and customize a policy that protects your business\u2014not just your budget.<\/p>\n\n
\nCommercial auto insurance requires all active drivers to be listed. Insurers also review Motor Vehicle Records (MVRs) to assess risk. A poor driving history can raise premiums or make you ineligible for coverage.<\/p>\n
\nEnsure every driver is listed and their MVR is clean. Doing so can reduce liability and even lower your premiums.<\/p>\n\n
\nAdding more vehicles, hiring new drivers, or expanding to new service areas without updating your insurance can leave assets unprotected or policies invalid.<\/p>\n
\nReview your policy every 6\u201312 months. Anytime you make business changes, notify your insurance provider immediately to stay covered and compliant.<\/p>\n
