Key Differences in Commercial Auto Insurance

Shopped Markets Versus a Hartford Policy

Mylo compares commercial auto quotes from multiple carriers rather than underwriting. The Hartford describes commercial auto as covering property damage and medical expenses when company vehicles cause an accident, sold through a local agency or Tivly, not an online small-business cart. Mylo’s issuer varies; The Hartford’s does not. 3 7

Non-Owned Auto Versus Drive-Other-Car

Mylo flags non-owned auto for personal cars used at work, including a detour example, and lists optional collision and comprehensive. The Hartford lists drive-other-car for executives, rental car coverage, collision, comprehensive, medical payments and uninsured motorists, and excludes personal-reason accidents in an employee’s personal vehicle. Those endorsements answer different “whose car” questions. 3 7

Bundling and a Published Average

Mylo may bundle commercial auto with personal car or home insurance. The Hartford reports about $574 a month ($6,884 a year) as a customer average and names beauty, consulting, photography, retail, technology and restaurants. Mylo publishes no average and does not name those trades. The Hartford’s reviewed page does not mention personal-lines bundling. 3 7
