Commercial Auto for Arizona Contractors
A contractor-focused guide to commercial auto insurance for Arizona work trucks, vans, trailers, drivers, and jobsite use.
Many contractors use trucks, vans, or trailers every day. If a vehicle carries tools, materials, employees, or is used for jobsite travel, personal auto may not be the right fit.
Why contractors care
Vehicles are often the connection between your crew, tools, materials, and jobs. A coverage problem with a work vehicle can interrupt the business fast.
Details that affect review
- Vehicle ownership
- Business use
- Drivers
- Garaging address
- Trailers
- Tools or materials carried
- Employee driving
Practical example
A pickup used only for commuting is different from a truck hauling tools and materials to three jobsites a day. A van titled to the business with employees driving it should be reviewed differently from a personal household car.
Commercial auto checklist
- List each work vehicle
- Know who drives
- Note trailers or attached equipment
- Explain typical jobsite use
- Share current liability limits if known
