Although fundamental plate insurance limits may be adequate for a personal driver, the exposure that business owners and commercial drivers experience can far exceed that of an average driver. A Commercial Auto policy can help cover vehicles you rent or ones you do not own.

Depending on your operations, carrying an additional Commercial Auto policy may be required as your plate registration doesn’t cover most business-related uses, and a mishap can put your business at risk.

The liability limit carried under the plate insurance is $200,000. However, depending on your individual needs or contractual obligations, a policy can increase your limit anywhere from $1,000,000 to $10,000,000. It is to satisfy a contractual obligation. However, liability risks are difficult to put a dollar value on in general due to the unpredictable nature of claim settlement. This is particularly true for injuries to others as they can very quickly add up to be a significant cost, depending on possible court decisions.

 

Motor truck cargo additional coverage is a type of insurance that protects the insured if they are subject to contractual penalties due to late or non-delivery of the cargo, erroneous delivery of cargo that does not follow specific instructions, or failure to receive written confirmation for the delivery of the shipment.

This coverage helps cover any financial losses or expenses due to errors or delays.

Sometimes the trailer or shipping container itself is the cargo being transported. If you are in the business of moving trailers or shipping containers that you do not own, this type of insurance coverage will protect you in the event of any physical loss or damage that may be incurred while the trailer or shipping container is in transit. This type of coverage can provide protection against losses due to theft, vandalism, collision, fire, and other perils that may occur during the course of the shipment.

 

The excess value applies to heavy vehicles and commercially plated trailers.

As the owner, you do have the option to put the total value under the plate registration. However, if the value exceeds $15,000, the pricing under the plate is generally more expensive than the coverage the extension policy can offer.
