Protecting Commercial Vehicles for Trades, Deliveries & Field Services
At Price, Capell & Associates Inc., we help businesses throughout Suffolk County and Long Island secure commercial auto insurance designed to protect company vehicles, drivers, and business operations.
Many businesses rely on vehicles for service work, deliveries, jobsite transportation, and field operations, which creates liability exposures that personal auto policies may not cover.
Whether you operate a service van in Holbrook, manage a landscaping crew in Smithtown, run a delivery vehicle in Patchogue, or maintain a fleet of trucks in Ronkonkoma, we help structure commercial auto insurance policies tailored to your business operations.

How Much Does Commercial Auto Insurance Cost in New York?
The cost of commercial auto insurance in New York depends on several factors, including the types of vehicles operated, employees' driving records, the radius of operations, and the business activities performed. Businesses operating contractor trucks, delivery vans, tow trucks, or fleet vehicles may require broader liability protection and higher coverage limits than smaller businesses with a single service vehicle.

Commercial auto insurance helps protect contractor trucks, vans, delivery vehicles, dump trucks, tow trucks, and business fleets throughout Long Island and Suffolk County. We help plumbers, electricians, landscapers, HVAC contractors, delivery businesses, and retail companies obtain commercial vehicle insurance, fleet insurance, hired and non-owned auto coverage, and business auto liability insurance. Coverage options may include physical damage, liability, tools and equipment coverage, and DOT-related insurance requirements.
Insurance Requirements for Commercial Vehicles in New York
Businesses operating commercial vehicles in New York are often required to carry specific insurance coverages to comply with state laws, satisfy contractual requirements, protect drivers, and operate legally. Insurance requirements can vary depending on the type of vehicle, the business operations involved, whether the vehicle crosses state lines, and if the business performs contracting, delivery, towing, or transportation services.

What Does Commercial Auto Insurance Cover?
A commercial auto insurance policy can cover a wide range of vehicles and exposures, including:
-
Bodily Injury Liability
-
Property Damage Liability
-
Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
-
Collision Coverage
-
Comprehensive Coverage
-
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
-
Underinsured Motorist Coverage
-
Medical Payments
-
Towing and Roadside Assistance
Coverage can apply to cars, vans, pickup trucks, box trucks, and other vehicles used for business purposes.
Hired and Non-Owned Auto Liability Coverage
If your business rents vehicles or has employees using their personal vehicles for work, hired-and-non-owned auto liability coverage is essential.
This coverage helps protect your business against liability claims arising from:
-
Rental or leased vehicles (hired autos)
-
Employee-owned vehicles used for business purposes (non-owned autos)
In many cases, this coverage can be added to a commercial auto policy or even a general liability policy at a relatively low cost.
Do Personal Auto Policies Cover Business Use?
Personal auto insurance policies typically do not provide adequate coverage when a vehicle is used for business purposes. This can include activities such as:
-
Contracting work
-
Deliveries
-
Service calls
-
Transporting tools or equipment
-
Sales or business errands
If a claim occurs while using a personal vehicle for business, coverage may be denied. A properly structured commercial auto policy helps eliminate this risk.
