Which policy type is used to insure business-owned vehicles?

• A. Business Auto Policy
• B. Personal Auto Policy
• C. Marine Policy
• D. Umbrella Policy

Answer: (A)

When vehicles are used for business, you need coverage designed for commercial operations. A Business Auto Policy is the standard form used to insure vehicles owned, leased, or used in the business. It provides the auto-specific liability for injuries and property damage from business use, and it can cover physical damage to the vehicles themselves, plus options for hired/non-owned autos and other related exposures. The Personal Auto Policy is for private, non-business use, so it can leave gaps if you rely on it for business vehicles. A Marine Policy covers watercraft, not cars. An Umbrella Policy offers excess liability across underlying coverages but does not insure the vehicles themselves. So the policy type best suited for business-owned vehicles is the Business Auto Policy.
