Commercial Auto Insurance

Delivery & Service Vehicle Insurance

If your business uses vehicles to deliver products, transport tools, visit customers, or provide service across town or across the Mountain West, your insurance needs to match how those vehicles are actually used.

Built for businesses on the move

  • Courier and delivery vehicles
  • Service trucks and vans
  • Parts, supply, and equipment delivery
  • Food, retail, and local route delivery
  • Vehicles driven by employees or approved drivers

Coverage for the vehicles that keep your business moving

Delivery and service businesses rely on vehicles every day. A personal auto policy is usually not designed for business use. A commercial auto policy can help protect your company, your drivers, your vehicles, and the work you are doing for your customers.

Delivery vehicles carry different risks

A delivery or courier vehicle may stop often, drive in traffic, carry business property, and operate on tight schedules. These risks are different from normal personal driving.

The right policy should reflect the vehicle type, driver use, delivery area, cargo, and how often the vehicle is on the road.

Service vehicles need the right setup

Service vans and trucks often carry tools, equipment, parts, ladders, inventory, or customer materials. Your coverage should consider more than the vehicle itself.

We help review how your vehicle is used so your coverage is built around the real operation of your business.

Important: If an employee uses a personal vehicle for business deliveries or service calls, you may need to review hired and non-owned auto coverage. Do not assume the employee’s personal policy protects your business.

Who may need delivery or service auto coverage?

This type of commercial auto insurance can apply to many businesses. The exact coverage depends on how the vehicle is titled, who drives it, what it carries, and whether delivery is part of normal operations.

Couriers & local delivery

Businesses that deliver documents, packages, medical supplies, retail goods, parts, or other items.

Service businesses

Contractors, repair companies, appliance services, cleaning services, maintenance crews, and technicians.

Retail & food delivery

Businesses that use company vehicles or employee vehicles to deliver food, products, groceries, or supplies.

Parts & supply routes

Companies that move inventory, business supplies, parts, or equipment between shops, job sites, or customers.

Mobile operations

Businesses that bring the service to the customer, including mobile repair, mobile detailing, and field service work.

Employee drivers

Businesses with employees, seasonal workers, or approved drivers operating vehicles for company use.

Coverage options to review

Commercial auto coverage should be matched to the way your business operates. We help you review the basics and the details that are easy to miss.

Liability coverage

Helps protect your business if a covered vehicle causes bodily injury or property damage to someone else.

Physical damage

Helps protect covered business vehicles against damage from collision, theft, vandalism, weather, and other covered losses.

Medical payments

May help pay certain medical expenses for covered drivers or passengers after an accident, depending on the policy.

Uninsured motorist

Can help when your business vehicle is involved in an accident with a driver who does not have enough insurance.

Hired & non-owned auto

Important when your business rents vehicles or employees use personal vehicles for business errands, deliveries, or service calls.

Tools, equipment & property

Vehicle insurance may not fully cover tools, inventory, or business property inside the vehicle. We can help review what else may be needed.

Mountain West roads are not all the same

Delivery and service vehicles in our region may face long distances, winter roads, gravel routes, rural job sites, mountain passes, and fast-changing weather.

That matters. A business that delivers around Billings may not have the same risk as a company running routes between Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Idaho, or Colorado.

We help businesses think through the practical details before a claim happens.

Details we may review with you

  • Vehicle ownership
  • Vehicle radius of operation
  • Driver list
  • Business use
  • Delivery type
  • Vehicle garaging location
  • State-to-state travel
  • Seasonal use
  • Tools or inventory carried
  • Trailers or attached equipment
  • Employee personal vehicle use
  • Prior claims or violations

Common coverage gaps for delivery and service businesses

Many businesses start small. The insurance can fall behind as the operation grows. These are common areas worth reviewing.

Using personal vehicles

Employees may use personal cars for errands, deliveries, or customer visits. Your business may still have exposure.

Adding drivers informally

New employees, family members, or seasonal help may begin driving before the policy is updated.

Carrying tools or inventory

The vehicle may be covered, but the property inside it may need separate protection.

Expanding delivery radius

A local route can turn into regional travel. Your policy should reflect where the vehicle actually goes.

Mixing business and personal use

Some vehicles are used for both work and personal driving. That needs to be explained correctly.

Contract requirements

Some customers, vendors, or job sites may require specific limits or proof of insurance.

How we help you review coverage

Our goal is to make the process clear. We start with how your business uses vehicles, then we help match that information to available coverage options.

1. Review your operation

We look at the vehicles, drivers, routes, delivery type, service area, and business use.

2. Identify exposures

We help spot gaps involving employees, personal vehicle use, tools, equipment, trailers, or customer requirements.

3. Compare coverage options

As an independent agency, we can help review available options from multiple insurance companies.
