The amount of insurance you must have for a commercial vehicle will be decided by either state or federal law. These laws typically define insurance requirements based on a vehicle's weight or number of passengers. Requirements can also vary if the vehicle carries hazardous material, is a for-hire taxi, is a tow truck and other factors.
But the typical small-business owner doesn't need to to worry about truck size and federal requirements and hazardous materials. The state insurance requirements for your light vehicle (such as a sedan or pickup truck) will likely be the same as insurance requirements for your personal auto.
The state laws below were compiled by the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, a trade group. These will help you determine whether higher commercial auto insurance requirements apply to your business vehicle.
Here's help with translating the commercial auto insurance requirements
CSL: Combined single limit. Some insurance liability minimums are listed as a single number, such as $500,000.
BI and PD: Bodily injury and property damage.
Three numbers: If you see three numbers, they define minimum liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage. For example, 50/100/10 means:
- $50,000 for bodily injury per person.
- $100,000 for bodily injury per accident.
- $10,000 for property damage.
GVW or GVWR: Gross vehicle weight or gross vehicle weight rating.
