If you are not sure whether your current personal auto policy matches the way you use your vehicle for work, RUTA can help you review the situation.

Some businesses may need coverage for rented vehicles or vehicles owned by employees and used for company business.
Florida insurance requirements depend on the vehicle and how it is used.
For motor vehicles that must be registered in Florida, state law generally requires at least $10,000 in property damage financial responsibility per crash. Other requirements can apply depending on the vehicle, driver, business use, and insurance situation.
Commercial vehicles can face additional requirements.
Under Florida law, certain commercial motor vehicles at 26,000 pounds or more are subject to higher combined bodily injury and property damage liability levels:
Important
The legal minimum is not automatically the right limit for every business.
Your vehicle type, contracts, customers, operating area, and business activity may require more protection.
Commercial vehicles may spend hours each day moving between customers, warehouses, jobs, and suppliers.
That extra road time matters.
Miami-Dade County’s 2024 Vision Zero Action Plan identified a 1.44-mile section of Hialeah Gardens Boulevard as part of its High-Injury Network. County data for 2018–2022 recorded 12 fatal or serious-injury crashes on that corridor, including 2 fatal crashes and 10 serious-injury crashes.
For local businesses, commercial vehicle exposure is not only about the vehicle itself. It also depends on:
Insurance requirements written into a contract can be higher than basic state requirements.
Miami-Dade County says each procurement is evaluated based on its own risk. Its general vendor requirements commonly call for Automobile Liability Insurance of at least $300,000 combined single limit per occurrence covering owned, non-owned, and hired vehicles used in the work. Exact requirements depend on the contract.
That means a business owner should not assume that having a legal minimum automatically satisfies a customer, project, or government contract.
If a contract lists a required automobile liability limit, have it ready when requesting your quote.

RUTA can help you discuss:
It depends on how the vehicle is used and the policy. Regular business use can create risks that a personal auto policy may not be designed to cover. Tell the agent what you do with the vehicle so the correct type of policy can be reviewed.
Personal auto insurance is generally designed around personal vehicle use. Commercial auto insurance is designed for eligible vehicles used for business activities such as service calls, deliveries, job sites, customer visits, or company operations.
Depending on the carrier and eligibility, coverage may be available for business cars, pickups, cargo vans, service vans, delivery vehicles, and other commercial vehicles.
Commercial policies can be structured for businesses with more than one eligible vehicle. The carrier will review the vehicles, drivers, business activity, and other risk details.
Eligible employees may be able to operate covered business vehicles, but drivers should be disclosed and reviewed under the policy as required by the carrier.
A contractor who owns or regularly uses vehicles for work should review whether commercial auto coverage is appropriate. Vehicle registration, business use, vehicle weight, and contract requirements can all affect the insurance needed.
Yes. Miami-Dade County states that insurance requirements depend on each procurement. Its general vendor requirements commonly include at least $300,000 combined single limit automobile liability for owned, non-owned, and hired vehicles used in the work. Always check the specific contract.
Whether you use one work van, a pickup, a company car, or several commercial vehicles, your coverage should match the way those vehicles are used.
