Painter insurance
Commercial auto for painting vans
Vans loaded with ladders, sprayers, and five-gallon buckets spend hours on the road every week. A crash on the way to a job is a business auto claim.
Coverage pieces
- Liability for injuries and damage you cause
- Physical damage to the van
- Hired and non-owned auto for employees' vehicles
- Uninsured motorist where available
Request pricing for commercial auto.
Frequently asked questions
Will my personal auto policy cover my work van?
Many personal policies limit business use. A vehicle titled to the business generally needs commercial auto.
What if a crew member drives his own truck?
Hired and non-owned auto coverage can protect the business.
Are ladders on the roof rack covered?
Usually under a tools floater, not the auto policy.
