What Commercial Auto Insurance Requirements Apply in Mississippi?

The Mississippi Insurance Department’s current auto page lists $25,000/$50,000 bodily-injury and $25,000 property-damage limits and says liability may be demonstrated by a policy, matching bond, or cash/security deposit. The Department of Revenue separately says vehicles must carry an insurance card, so confirm the acceptable in-vehicle document if the owner uses another proof method.

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 to Watch for With Commercial Auto in Mississippi

Mississippi Lists Alternative Ways To Meet Its Minimum
The Insurance Department says liability may be shown through a policy, a bond for the same amounts, or a cash/security deposit equal to the minimums. Confirm which proof the fleet owner has on file before telling drivers which document to carry. ¹
Confirm The In-Vehicle Document For Your Proof Method
The Department of Revenue says all vehicles must carry an insurance card, while the Insurance Department also lists bonds and deposits as acceptable proof methods. The agency pages do not explain which document drivers should carry when a business uses an alternative; ask the Safety Responsibility Division for that document rather than assuming the card rule is met. ^1,²
Separate The Listed Floor From Any Carrier Filing
The Insurance Department lists the general 25/50/25 floor but does not establish that it satisfies a regulated motor-carrier filing or a shipper’s limit. Tell the broker whether you carry goods or passengers for hire and ask for the authority-specific requirement before dispatch. ¹

Which Commercial Auto Providers Have Mississippi 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 Mississippi. 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. ¹⁶
TechInsurance arranges commercial auto insurance for small businesses.
