What Commercial Auto Insurance Requirements Apply in Minnesota?

Minnesota’s no-fault law provides $40,000 in basic economic-loss benefits for each injured person, split between medical and other economic losses; it separately requires residual liability and UM/UIM coverage. Confirm the commercial policy’s coverage parts and vehicle records rather than reviewing only its liability declarations.

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 Minnesota?

Minnesota Splits Its $40,000 PIP Benefit
Minnesota §65B.44 allocates $20,000 per injured person to medical expenses and $20,000 to income, replacement-service, funeral, and survivor economic losses. Ask the broker to identify the PIP provisions for employees and passengers; these benefits do not pay for damage to the fleet vehicle. ¹
No-Fault PIP And Tort Liability Use Different Rules
Minnesota §65B.51 permits tort recovery for bodily-injury loss only when a statutory threshold is met, including specified medical expenses or permanent injury. Ask the broker to distinguish first-party PIP benefits from liability protection for claims against the business. ³
UM/UIM Is A Separate Required Coverage Part
Minnesota §65B.49 sets $25,000/$50,000 minimums for uninsured and underinsured motorist coverages in addition to residual liability limits. Check each declarations page for both coverage parts rather than comparing only liability limits. ²
PIP Does Not Insure The Vehicle Itself
Minnesota §65B.44(8) says basic economic-loss benefits do not include physical damage to property, including motor vehicles. Ask separately whether the commercial policy includes collision or comprehensive protection for each unit. ¹

Which Commercial Auto Providers Have Minnesota 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 Minnesota. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.

Corgi’s company producer-license table lists 50 jurisdictions: 49 states and the District of Columbia, including DC license 3003091619. New Mexico does not appear in the table and is not included here; the omission does not establish that Corgi is unlicensed there.

Specialty Program Group LLC
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. ¹⁷

Who Regulates Insurance in Minnesota?

Minnesota Department of Commerce

The Minnesota Department of Commerce regulates insurance companies and producers, reviews rates and forms, and investigates complaints. You can use its state lookup or complaint service to check a license or raise an insurance issue. ^4,^5,⁶

Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office in Minnesota

Reported tax rate. 3% of taxable gross premiums less return premiums, plus a 0.04% stamping fee on taxable premium when Minnesota is the insured's home state ^7,^10,^8,^9,¹¹

When Minnesota is the insured's home state, 3% tax applies to taxable gross premiums less return premiums; the separate 0.04% stamping fee on taxable premium is paid by you to the broker. Minnesota requires a policy warning that insolvency loss payment by a nonadmitted insurer is not guaranteed. A diligent search generally applies unless a Minnesota-licensed producer unaffiliated with the surplus-lines broker refers the risk, which the statute deems unavailable from a licensed insurer; an exempt commercial purchaser also has a separate written-request route after the required admitted-market disclosure.
