See who each proposal protects

Brokers take your submission to insurers, and we compare each proposal’s liability limit, defense terms, how the limit applies when one accident brings several claims, and whether the driver is insured as well as the business.

See how it works with the driver’s own insurance

Spot asks how each proposal works with the driver’s personal auto policy and any rental coverage, including which one responds first, and flags that HNOA liability won’t pay to repair the rental itself.

Is Hired and Non-Owned Auto Insurance right for you?

  • Firms whose staff visit clients

    Staff drive their own cars to meetings and site visits, and a collision on the way can turn into a claim against your business.

  • Teams that rent vehicles for events or travel

    A van rented for an event or a car picked up on a work trip is a hired auto, and whose name is on the rental agreement matters.

  • Businesses with occasional errands or deliveries

    Supply runs and small deliveries in employees’ cars are business use, and insurers ask about them apart from regular driving.

  • Companies that own no vehicles

    You have no vehicles of your own to insure, but the liability from employees’ work driving can still land on the business.

When to get Hired and Non-Owned Auto Insurance

  • 01

    An employee starts running errands in their own car

    Bank trips and supply runs are business use. Describe them to an insurer now, while the answer can still change your coverage.

  • 02

    You’re renting vehicles for an event or a trip

    Decide whose name goes on the rental agreement, and check what protects the rented vehicle itself, because HNOA liability doesn’t.

  • 03

    Your business buys its first vehicle

    A company-owned vehicle isn’t hired or non-owned. Revisit commercial auto before it goes into service.

  • 04

    More of your team is on the road

    New hires in sales or field roles change how many people drive for work and how often. Update the figures before renewal and compare the market again.

Hired and Non-Owned Auto Insurance questions

Also known as HNOA insurance, hired and non-owned auto liability insurance, non-owned auto insurance and hired auto insurance.

Does HNOA pay to repair a rental car?

No. HNOA liability doesn’t provide vehicle-damage coverage. Spot checks what protects the rental vehicle and helps you arrange that separately if you need it.

Does HNOA protect the employee who’s driving?

Not automatically. Protection for your business doesn’t establish protection for the driver, so Spot asks each broker whose liability their proposal insures.

Will HNOA cover the goods in the car?

Don’t treat it as cargo or property insurance. Property being transported and damage to property in your care are separate questions, and Spot raises both with brokers.

What will a broker ask about our driving?

How many employees drive for work, how often and for what; the vehicles you rent, for how long and what you spend; your existing liability insurance; and how you check driving records and employees’ personal auto insurance.

Can HNOA go through the broker who handles our general liability?

Yes. Spot works with that broker to quote HNOA and compare the options, and takes no commissions on premiums. If you’d prefer a different broker, we help you move.
