How to find cheaper commercial auto insurance
Finding cheaper commercial auto insurance can be challenging, but there are several steps you can take to help lower your premium. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when shopping for commercial auto insurance:
Shop around: One of the best ways to find cheaper commercial auto insurance is to shop around and compare rates from different insurance companies. Be sure to get quotes from at least three different insurers to get a sense of the market.
Bundle your policies: Consider bundling your commercial auto insurance with other types of insurance, such as general liability or workers’ compensation. This can often lead to discounts and lower rates.
Improve your safety record: A good safety record can help lower your commercial auto insurance rates. Make sure your drivers are properly trained and encourage them to practice safe driving habits.
Raise your deductibles: Raising your deductibles can help lower your commercial auto insurance rates. Keep in mind, however, that this will mean you will have to pay more out of pocket if you do have a claim.
Evaluate your coverage: Review your commercial auto insurance policy and make sure you have the right coverage for your business. Consider eliminating coverage you don’t need or reducing coverage on older vehicles.
Use telematics: Telematics is the technology that uses GPS and sensors to track how you drive, how much you drive, where you drive, and your driving habits. Many insurance companies use this technology to provide discounts to safe drivers.
Check for discounts: Many insurance companies offer discounts for things like good driving records, safety features, and taking a defensive driving course. Be sure to ask about any discounts that may apply to you.
