What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when I say “commercial vehicle”? Maybe a van, or an articulated lorry, or a tractor maybe? Commercial vehicles come in all different shapes, sizes, and types and would even include standard cars – it just depends on how you use them. If you are used to taxiing your kids about to football, piano lessons, soccer, ballet, dance class, sleepovers et al (delete as appropriate!), you may feel like you are running a taxi service even if you aren’t. However, there are standard cars that can be considered commercial vehicles.
Not only can commercial vehicles be a crucial part of keeping a business running, it can actually be the business as in the case of Uber or other taxi service. Similarly, cars can be considered commercial vehicles if they are used to make deliveries for the business, such as with pizzas. However, there are rules that apply in this situation as those that occasionally use their car for deliveries, such as Avon representatives, would still only need a personal car insurance policy as they use their car for personal use the majority of the time.
Other commercial vehicles are more obvious, such as delivery trucks or coaches, and company-owned vehicles will also require coverage by commercial auto insurance. If you’re not sure if your vehicle requires commercial auto insurance, consider whether you can answer “yes” to any of the following questions:
