Small Business Auto Insurance
Small business auto insurance even for those running a small business is sometimes deemed necessary and sometimes not. If running a small home business most of the insurance pundits suggest judging how much you'll be using your car for business purposes and what liability issues may prevail and then deciding whether to go with personal or small business auto insurance.
When It's The Right Insurance To Buy
OK so now you're wondering when should you buy small business auto insurance. Well you should buy it if you are going to be making ample use of your vehicles. For instance, a plumber operating from his home would want to have small business insurance whereas someone who is a writer wouldn't. The point of comparison here is that these are both home based businesses. The plumber uses his home as his office and point of return and departure, he stores his equipment and other necessities at his home. The writer works at home and may actually use her car less than someone going to the office or some other form of job outside the house since she stays home typing all day.
The plumber needs liability coverage for his vehicle and his company needs to be covered in case he damages any property belonging to a client, as well as covering any possible employees. So here we have examples of two home businesses and two very different insurance needs.
The Cost Of Auto Insurance
Cost is always uppermost on people's minds. We want to get the most bang for the buck and naturally the same holds true when buying insurance. The ease of getting many a quote from which to compare policies makes it possible to efficiently shop around and sometimes even qualify for their discounts.
Generally speaking small business auto insurance is priced the same as personal auto insurance. Such factors as the number of miles driven per day, who is driving and driving records of those driving are standard no matter whether buying personal or business auto insurance. With business insurance though comes the added emphasis placed on liability. The higher the limits the higher the premium but depending on what the business entails that might just be a necessary evil to swallow as part of the business expenses. The old adage better to be safe that sorry is a good one to follow when purchasing this type of insurance.
