Commercial Auto Insurance

Business Auto
Insurance Makes Your
Business a Priority

Your business deserves high priority protection, and that’s just what The Hartford’s commercial auto Insurance does. It provides coverage for you, your employees and the vehicles you own, lease, rent or borrow – on the road and off. More importantly, it can help prevent an accident from damaging your bottom line.
Whether you’re operating a single vehicle or a fleet, The Hartford offers you ways to help protect your company, manage risks and help control your costs.

Putting the Brakes on Damages

An automotive mishap can expose your business to complex high exposure, putting its assets at risk. Without the right commercial vehicle insurance coverage, you as the business owner may even find yourself personally responsible.
Meanwhile, the loss of cars, vans, trucks or specialty vehicles can hamper your ability to operate your business, threaten hard-won customers and hurt business relationships. Accidents can damage your reputation, and put in question your concern for employee and public safety.
So, don’t let a split-second bout of bad luck put a business that took years to build in jeopardy.

Extra Protection. No Additional Cost.

The Hartford commercial auto insurance offers extra protection your business may require at no additional cost, including:
Hired Auto Physical Damage
Hired or borrowed vehicles can be covered for up to $100,000 for physical damage – as long as these vehicles have liability coverage, and your vehicles carry physical damage coverage.
Lease or Loan Gap Coverage
When there’s a gap between the value of the vehicle and the amount owed to the lien holder, this coverage fills that gap.
Electronic Equipment Coverage
Now popular electronic devices like a GPS or DVD player are covered, up to $1,500 – as long as these devices are permanently installed.
Efficient Claim Service
If you have an accident, a team of people from one of our many claims service centers will swing into action. They’ll expedite your claim, carefully evaluate complex business exposure, and handle the details. Programs and services are available to mid-size and large businesses.

FleetAhead Fleet Safety

Welcome to
Safer Drivers and

If you could help them drive more safely, you could reduce accidents. Cut down on downtime. Increase fuel efficiency. Improve losses. Lower costs. And boost customer satisfaction.

FleetAhead from The Hartford provides the data and support your fleet needs to do all that and more. On the road, driving behavior can be analyzed and adjusted. At the office, fleet and risk managers are coached to read that data correctly—so they can use it to coach drivers toward improved performance behind the wheel.
How it Works
FleetAhead from The Hartford. It's preventive maintenance for your drivers. Peace of mind for your fleet and risk managers. And more security for your bottom line.
In-vehicle telematics measure risky maneuvers as they happen, relaying that data to a central web portal where it can be stored and analyzed. Risky maneuvers include things like:
  • Speeding
  • Excessive acceleration while cornering
  • Aggressive lane changing
  • Swerving in and out of traffic
But that's just the beginning. Even more importantly, fleet and risk managers are coached by our Loss Control experts to read, understand and use the data on their drivers effectively, identify opportunities for improvement, and to share those insights in the most positive, constructive way possible. Because while FleetAhead is driven by data, we know people skills are what keep everyone moving in the right direction.
Of course, no two fleets are alike. Miles of experience teach taxi drivers to anticipate every situation. Cable installers know more about coaxial hookups than parallel parking. But FleetAhead from The Hartford is flexible enough to meet the safety needs—and help improve the safety records—of both. And of every fleet in between.
