Commercial Auto Insurance for Leased Vehicles

Leasing vehicles for your business can offer flexibility and cost savings, but may also expose you to certain risks. At Best Option Insurance & Tax, we understand the importance of insuring your leased vehicles and making sure your business stays compliant with Texas regulations.

Whether you use a single leased van or manage a fleet, having the right commercial auto insurance is essential for financially safeguarding your assets and keeping your operations running smoothly.

Why Insure Leased Commercial Vehicles?

Any Texas business that uses vehicles is beholden to state laws that require commercial auto insurance. Additionally, lease agreements typically require you to carry specific types, limits and levels of coverage. If your business falls short of those requirements, the leasing company may declare a default, charge you for their own coverage at a much higher rate, or terminate the lease entirely.

Beyond these mandates,  an uninsured or underinsured loss can disrupt operations, drain your cash reserves, and potentially expose your business to lawsuits. Commercial auto insurance can help your business prevent those risks from becoming financial crises.

What Does a Policy Cover?

A commercial auto policy can cover the following:

• Bodily injury and property damage your driver causes to others while operating a company vehicle
• Damage caused by accidents, fire, natural disasters, theft or vandalism
• Your losses if you’re hit by an at-fault motorist with insufficient insurance
• The difference between what you owe on the lease and your vehicle’s worth after a total loss

Your agent can help you align your policy limits with your lease terms and your overall risk tolerance.
