Here's An Example:

Hope leases a storefront for her day spa. While she does not own the building, she has a large amount of money invested in all of the equipment needed to serve her customers, as well as the items that make her spa stand out from the competition.Suppose a fire destroys the building. Most, if not all, of Hope’s equipment and decorative items will also be lost. If she does not have the necessary cover, Hope will experience a tremendous financial loss. The loss could be significant enough to force her to close her business permanently.However, if Hope has insurance that covers the property and equipment, she will be able to replace the things needed to operate her business.

  • The policy will only cover events where you (or someone representing your company) are at fault for damaging someone else’s vehicle or property. This policy will not pay you for any damage to your fleet or property.
  • This policy limits coverage to third-party liability as well as damage to your vehicle by fire or theft.

Case Study

Dean owns a small catering company with two delivery vans. While on a delivery, one of the drivers causes an accident that damages Dean’s delivery van as well as another vehicle. Because Dean opted for full comprehensive coverage in his commercial motor insurance cover, the damages to his delivery van as well as the other involved in the accident are covered. Dean would be at risk for litigation against his company from the accident victim and entirely responsible for necessary repairs on the damaged vehicles without the full cover.
