Your commercial vehicle is an asset to your company. It is also an important piece of your business to help move people or products. Having commercial vehicle insurance is required and you want to make sure you have basic liability coverage, roadside assistance, and physical damage coverage.

Basic Liability Coverage

Some level of commercial vehicle insurance is required for your commercial vehicle in the state you live. However, where you live can have different requirements, so you should always check what the specific requirements are. The lowest level of insurance you will need is basic liability coverage. Basic liability coverage is important because it will cover any damage to property or bodily injuries should there be an accident and your vehicle causes the damage. If your vehicle is not worth much, this level of insurance may be sufficient, however you should also look into additional coverage for more protection.

Roadside Assistance

Being protected with roadside assistance coverage is an important part of protecting your commercial vehicle. Roadside assistance can help truck drivers if they get stuck on the road. The level of roadside assistance coverage you need will depend on your vehicle. You should consider how often your vehicle requires servicing. The number of problems or how often your vehicle has problems can also be a factor. Having roadside assistance, while it will cost you money, can help save you headache and more money if you need a vehicle towed.

Physical Damage Coverage

There are two kinds of physical damage coverage: collision loss and comprehensive loss. Collision loss is coverage from damage that happens due to accidents, while comprehensive loss is damage due to non-collision causes such as weather or theft. This is important for your commercial vehicle because these are an asset for your business, and you want the assets to be protected. The value of these vehicles can be protected under your physical damage coverage. This is especially important if you are a small business owner and have limited capital because you may not have the money out of pocket to pay for repairs.

Insurance is essential protection for your commercial vehicle. Your commercial vehicle is an asset to your business and would be an unnecessary cost should it become damaged. Ensuring your insurance coverage has everything you need is an important thing to research so you can have peace of mind using your vehicle.
