Small Business Month: Commonly Overlooked Exposure – Garden City NY

Hi, this is Matthew Kryder at I Petschauer Insurance. Do you own a business and use your personal vehicle to pick up supplies and make deliveries? Or do you sometimes have your employees run errands for your firm with their personal vehicle, or do you travel for business and rent a car?

What you may not know is that in these situations, if you or your employee were to get into an auto accident and caused property damage or hurt somebody, or even kill someone, your business could be held liable.

Personal auto insurance does not cover your business. What you need is hired non-owned auto coverage. Hired non-owned auto protects your business from the financial loss due to an accident while borrowing, renting, or using your personal vehicle for business use.

If you found this helpful, give us a call, we can help you understand the many ways your business could be exposed and we can help tailor a plan to protect what you worked so hard to build so you can continue to grow.
