Commercial Auto Insurance

Commercial Auto Insurance covers your company vehicles if involved in a road accident.


Example... On the way back from a job, your company truck collides with a motorcyclist, leading to injury and damage to their motorbike and your truck. Commercial Auto covers their medical bills and repair costs for both vehicles.

Umbrella Policy

Umbrella Policy adds an extra layer of protection to building maintenance professionals if a serious event or cumulative claims exhaust current polcy limits.


Example... During waste collection work, a spillage from your equipment causes serious harm to employees working at your client's building. Their cumulative claims exhaust the limits of your GL policy. An Umbrella Policy will pick up the rest.
