What Is Commercial Auto Insurance?

Commercial auto insurance covers vehicles owned, leased, or regularly used by a business, including liability, physical damage, and hired or non-owned auto exposures.

Why Choose Shield Insurance Agency for Commercial Auto Insurance

Why Choose Us

Shield Insurance Agency has placed commercial auto policies for Madison-area contractors, food service businesses, and professional service firms. We understand which carrier programs offer the best rates for Wisconsin-based fleets and owner-operators.

Common Commercial Auto Insurance Scenarios

Contractor Vehicle Coverage

A Madison plumbing or electrical contractor's work van carries expensive tools and visits multiple job sites daily - commercial auto protects both the vehicle and liability exposure.

Hired and Non-Owned Auto

Employees using personal vehicles for business errands in Madison create liability exposure - hired and non-owned coverage fills that gap without requiring company-owned vehicles.

Delivery Fleet Operations

Restaurants and retailers in Madison using delivery vehicles need commercial coverage with appropriate liability limits to satisfy contracts and protect against at-fault accidents.

Our Commercial Auto Insurance Process

Document Your Vehicle Use

List every vehicle used for business purposes, including employee-owned cars used for errands - this determines whether you need a fleet policy or hired and non-owned coverage.

Identify Driver Records

Carrier underwriters in Wisconsin review motor vehicle records for all listed drivers - we help you understand how driving history affects eligibility and premium pricing.

Select Liability and Physical Damage Limits

Commercial contracts in Dane County often require $1 million combined single limit - we match your liability limits to your contracts, client requirements, and vehicle replacement values.

Issue Certificates of Insurance

Once your policy binds, we can issue certificates of insurance to general contractors, property managers, or event venues in Madison, typically within one business day.

Commercial Auto Insurance - Frequently Asked Questions

No - most personal auto policies contain a business use exclusion that voids coverage when a vehicle is used primarily for commercial purposes. A single at-fault accident while on a job could leave you with no coverage and significant out-of-pocket costs.

Many general contractors and property managers in the Madison market require subcontractors to carry at least $1 million per occurrence. We review your contracts before quoting so your limits meet client requirements without overpaying for unnecessary coverage.

Yes - commercial auto policies can be endorsed to add vehicles throughout the policy year. We process these changes quickly so your new purchase or leased vehicle is covered before it leaves the lot.

Leased vehicles often require specific liability limits and additional insured endorsements naming the leasing company. We review your lease agreement to ensure your commercial auto policy satisfies all contractual requirements from day one of coverage.
