Auto Liability insurance protects against bodily injury and property damage caused by vehicles used for business purposes.

This video explains how auto liability works, what types of vehicles may be covered, and why hired and non-owned autocoverage is often required, even if a company doesn’t own vehicles directly. This policy type commonly appears during certificate of insurance (COI) reviewand is often tied to contract compliance and tracking requirements.

Why this matters: Business auto exposure exists even when an organization does not own vehicles directly.

Contracts frequently require hired and non-owned auto coverage, and overlooking it is a common cause of COI review failure. Understanding this policy helps ensure accurate COI collection and tracking against contract requirements.
