What Is a Salvage Title?

 What is business car insurance and how does it work?

Business car insurance is a type of vehicle insurance that covers cars used for work-related purposes beyond regular commuting. It protects vehicles employees or business owners use when driving for business activities such as visiting clients, making deliveries, or traveling between work locations.

How It Works

1. Types of Coverage

   • Business Use by You (Class 1) – Covers a single driver (usually the policyholder) for business-related travel, excluding deliveries or ride-sharing.
   • Business Use by Multiple Drivers (Class 2) – Extends coverage to additional named employees.
   • Commercial Use (Class 3) – Covers high-mileage business activities such as door-to-door sales, delivery driving, or taxi services.

2. Who Needs It?

• Self-employed individuals use their cars for work.
• Employees use their personal cars for business-related tasks.
• Companies with fleet vehicles for business.

1. What It Covers

   • Accidents, theft, and damage while using the car for business.
   • Third-party liability (if you injure someone or damage their property).
   • Optional extras like breakdown cover and legal expenses.

2. What It Doesn’t Cover

   • Personal use beyond work-related activities.
   • Some policies exclude high-risk jobs like taxi or courier services (which need specialized coverage).

Why It’s Important

If you use a personal car for business without the proper coverage, a standard personal insurance policy may not cover any damages in the event of an accident. Business car insurance ensures legal compliance and financial protection.
