Commercial Auto Insurance for Edina, MN Businesses

Generally, no. Most personal auto policies exclude coverage for accidents that happen while a vehicle is being used for business purposes — especially if you're hauling equipment, making deliveries, or transporting clients. If you use your vehicle for work and you're in an accident, your personal insurer could deny the claim. A commercial auto policy eliminates this gap and provides the protection your business actually needs.

Hired auto coverage protects your business when you or your employees rent vehicles for business purposes. Non-owned auto covers your business's liability when employees use their personal vehicles to run errands or perform business tasks on your behalf. Neither covers damage to the employee's personal vehicle — but both are important for businesses where employees drive anything other than company-owned vehicles.

Commercial auto insurance costs vary based on vehicle type, number of vehicles, driver records, annual mileage, industry, and coverage limits. A single light commercial vehicle might run $1,200–$2,500 per year, while fleets or specialty vehicles cost more. Businesses in higher-risk industries or with drivers who have traffic violations will typically pay more. We compare carriers to get you competitive pricing. Call 651-243-0056 for a free quote.

No — driving clients in your vehicle for business purposes is a business use that personal auto policies exclude. Whether you're a real estate agent, financial advisor, or any other professional who transports clients, you need either a commercial auto policy or a business use endorsement. We'll find the most cost-effective solution for how you actually use your vehicle. It's an easy, affordable fix for a significant exposure.

Both the value of your vehicles and your liability exposure should drive your coverage decisions. For higher-value vehicles, replacement cost or agreed-value physical damage coverage prevents depreciation surprises after a total loss. For liability, we typically recommend $1 million or more for professional businesses — your business reputation and assets are worth protecting. We'll build the right policy around the vehicles and exposure your Edina business actually has.

Yes — commercial auto policies can cover fleets with different vehicle types, including cars, trucks, vans, and specialty vehicles, under a single policy. Fleet policies often come with discounts compared to insuring each vehicle separately. We work with carriers that specialize in fleet accounts and can structure a policy that covers all of your Edina-area vehicles efficiently.
