What Commercial Auto Insurance Requirements Apply in Kansas?

Kansas law sets liability and personal-injury-protection terms for covered motor-vehicle policies, but expressly excludes motor carriers regulated by the Kansas Corporation Commission from one owner-coverage section. Confirm your carrier authority class before using the general policy floor or PIP terms for a commercial fleet.

What Is Commercial Auto Insurance?

Commercial auto suits businesses that use vehicles for work and need liability protection; damage to your own vehicles is a separate coverage choice. If employees drive personal or rented cars, check how those trips are handled. Read the national Commercial auto guide.

What Should You Watch for With Commercial Auto Insurance in Kansas?

Check Whether The Corporation Commission Regulates Your Carrier
K.S.A. §40-3104(l) says this section does not apply to property or passenger motor carriers regulated by the Kansas Corporation Commission. Identify your authority class first; ask the broker to cite the rule that governs your filing instead of applying the general owner rule automatically. ¹
Ask About The Kansas Automobile Insurance Plan
AIPSO describes the Kansas Automobile Insurance Plan as an option for eligible applicants unable to obtain coverage in the voluntary market. If insurers decline your risk, ask a producer whether the business and its vehicles qualify for that plan. ³
Match Vehicle Proof To The Statutory Policy Record
For vehicles governed by the Kansas Act, §40-3104 requires owners to provide coverage and drivers to show proof on demand; §40-3107 requires covered vehicles and named-insured details to be identified. Ask which Kansas filing or proof record applies to your authority and check the listed vehicles. ^1,²

Which Commercial Auto Insurance Providers Have Kansas License Records?

These providers publish a national listing for Commercial auto; the license records below name the licensed entities and roles. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm the product is available in Kansas. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.

TechInsurance’s current licensing page names Specialty Program Group LLC / SPG Insurance Solutions and lists state license numbers, but labels Rhode Island “Individual licenses” rather than identifying a license for the named agency. RI is omitted because this disclosure does not establish agency authority there; this is a search limitation, not an assertion that the company is unlicensed. The remaining state entries are company-reported and are not an insurance product availability map. ¹⁵
