[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/amelia-risk/hired-non-owned-auto) # Amelia Risk Hired and Non-Owned Auto Insurance Hired & Non-Owned Auto Liability Amelia Risk arranges hired and non-owned auto (HNOA) liability as a brokerage, either bundled onto a general liability policy or, when that isn't feasible, placed as a standalone (monoline) policy. [1](https://ameliarisk.com/insurance-policies/general-liability/ "General Liability") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: General Liability page's HNOA paragraph, which the firm calls something it "loves to see" attached to a general liability policy. Does not name the issuing insurer for either arrangement.) ## Who It’s For - Amelia Risk tells clients they need HNOA even if the company owns no vehicles at all, because employees driving personal cars on company business, or the company renting cars, can create liability for the company. [2](https://ameliarisk.com/specialties/cpg/ "Insurance for CPG Companies") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: CPG page FAQ 5, framed for consumer-packaged-goods clients but describing the general rationale for the coverage.) ## Coverage Features - Amelia Risk describes HNOA as liability coverage for rental vehicles used on company business and for employees' use of their own personal vehicles for company business, distinct from owning company vehicles outright. [1](https://ameliarisk.com/insurance-policies/general-liability/ "General Liability") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: General Liability page's HNOA description; a general explanation of the coverage's purpose, not a specimen policy form.) - Amelia Risk explains that if an employee causes an accident in a personal vehicle while the company is named in a claim, the employee's personal auto policy will not defend the company; HNOA is the policy that responds in that situation. [2](https://ameliarisk.com/specialties/cpg/ "Insurance for CPG Companies") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: CPG page FAQ 5's explanation of the coverage gap; describes the coverage's purpose rather than a specific policy's wording.) - Amelia Risk says that if an employee's personal auto policy does respond to a claim but its limits are exhausted, the client's non-owned auto liability coverage drops down and sits excess over the personal policy. [2](https://ameliarisk.com/specialties/cpg/ "Insurance for CPG Companies") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: CPG page FAQ 5; a general description of how the coverage layers with an employee's personal auto insurance.) - Amelia Risk says hired auto liability lets a client decline the rental company's own damage/liability coverage at the rental counter, because the client's HNOA policy already covers business-related rentals. [2](https://ameliarisk.com/specialties/cpg/ "Insurance for CPG Companies") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: CPG page FAQ 5's hired-auto explanation.) ## How to Apply - Amelia Risk's stated process for arranging coverage, including HNOA, starts with gathering information about the company, then approaching multiple insurers, reviewing the resulting quotes with the client, and letting the client decide how to proceed. [3](https://ameliarisk.com/specialties/ "Our Specialties") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Specialties page's four numbered steps; describes the firm's general placement workflow, not an HNOA-specific application form.) ## Amelia Risk Hired and Non-Owned Auto Insurance Compared - [Amelia Risk vs Beazley](https://spot.insure/compare/amelia-risk-vs-beazley/hired-non-owned-auto) - [Amelia Risk vs Corgi](https://spot.insure/compare/amelia-risk-vs-corgi/hired-non-owned-auto) - [Amelia Risk vs Founder Shield](https://spot.insure/compare/amelia-risk-vs-foundershield/hired-non-owned-auto) - [Amelia Risk vs Heffernan Insurance Brokers](https://spot.insure/compare/amelia-risk-vs-heffernan/hired-non-owned-auto) - [Amelia Risk vs HUB International](https://spot.insure/compare/amelia-risk-vs-hub-international/hired-non-owned-auto) - [Amelia Risk vs Kinro](https://spot.insure/compare/amelia-risk-vs-kinro/hired-non-owned-auto) ## Other Amelia Risk Coverage Lines - [Amelia Risk Cargo and Transit Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/amelia-risk/cargo-transit) - [Amelia Risk Cyber Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/amelia-risk/cyber) - [Amelia Risk D&O Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/amelia-risk/directors-officers) - [Amelia Risk Employment Practices Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/amelia-risk/employment-practices) - [Amelia Risk General Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/amelia-risk/general-liability) - [Amelia Risk Product Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/amelia-risk/product-liability) - [Amelia Risk Product Recall Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/amelia-risk/product-recall) - [Amelia Risk Tech E&O Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/amelia-risk/technology-errors-omissions) - [Amelia Risk Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/amelia-risk/umbrella-excess) - [Amelia Risk Workers’ Compensation Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/amelia-risk/workers-compensation) ## Related - [Amelia Risk Profile](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/amelia-risk) - [Amelia Risk Reliability](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/amelia-risk/reliability) - [Amelia Risk Alternatives](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/amelia-risk/alternatives) - [Coverage Guide: Hired and non-owned auto](https://spot.insure/coverage/hired-non-owned-auto) ## Sources 1.
