Commercial auto policies provide better and more comprehensive coverage for vehicles that are used at least partly for business.

Some companies will also offer personal use on he commercial policy so you don't have to maintain separate coerage for a mixed use automobiles. (keep personal if you have other non work vehicles on it!). Business auto insruance isn't much more expensive than personal auto so don't hesitate to make the switch if you have vehicles you are using for business purposes.

In order to insure the vehicle with the business, the vehicle should be titled to the businesses' name. It may also create tax advantages for your business as compared to handling it as a personal vehicle, check with your accountant.
