FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
-
What’s the difference between Business Auto and Commercial Auto?
Carriers use the terms interchangeably. The key is matching the policy to your risk: owned autos on a Commercial Auto policy, and Hired & Non‑Owned Auto when employees drive rentals or personal vehicles for work.
-
Do I need HNOA if we don’t own any vehicles?
Yes, if employees ever drive personal or rented vehicles for business. HNOA protects your business from third‑party claims when personal limits don’t respond.
-
What are Illinois minimum insurance limits?
Illinois requires active liability insurance on registered vehicles and enforces verification. Many businesses buy higher limits to meet contracts.
-
What are FMCSA minimums for interstate trucking?
Federal minimums vary by cargo. General freight commonly carries $750,000 CSL; certain hazardous materials require $1,000,000–$5,000,000, plus MCS‑90.
-
How fast can I get a COI?
Most certificates are issued the same business day with contract wording as requested. Often times within less than 30 minutes.
