What Is Commercial Motor Insurance?

Commercial motor insurance, also known as commercial motor vehicle insurance or business motor vehicle insurance, is a type of insurance policy that provides coverage for vehicles used for business purposes.

This includes commercial car motor insurance for companies that rely on vehicles to carry out their operations.

A commercial motor insurance policy typically covers damage to the vehicle, liability for injuries or property damage caused by the vehicle, and other related expenses.

It is important for businesses to have commercial motor insurance to protect their assets and finances in case of an accident.

Whether it’s motor commercial insurance for a single vehicle or motor commercial vehicle insurance for a fleet, having the right coverage can help businesses stay protected while on the road.
