You don’t have to drive for Uber or DoorDash to be using your personal vehicle for business.
Maybe you’re a contractor driving from job to job. You keep tools in the truck. You pick up materials. You stop at a customer’s house to give an estimate.
Maybe you’re a realtor showing houses, a photographer hauling equipment, or a salesperson visiting customers.
You bought the vehicle personally. It’s titled in your name. You insure it on your personal auto policy.
None of that changes how you’re actually using it.
And if your insurance company thinks it’s insuring a vehicle for personal use while you’re regularly using it to make a living, you can have a coverage problem when there’s a claim.
If you use your vehicle for work, make sure your agent knows exactly how you’re using it so your policy can be set up correctly before you need the coverage.
