What You Need to Know About Employees’ Vehicle Use

Most insurance policies operate on an "excess" basis when it comes to non-owned vehicles. This means that if your employee is involved in an accident, in their own vehicle, while on company business, their insurance will provide the primary coverage. Anything covered that is in excess of their policy is then the responsibility of the company. You can avoid this problem by requiring your employees to carry an appropriate level of coverage on their own policy. It also makes sense to have an enforced policy in place that stipulates who is and is not permitted to drive their personal vehicle for work-related tasks. We also recommend that if your business model calls for the use of employee-owned vehicles that you consider an umbrella policy to cover the increased liability exposure.
