Commercial use changes the rating question

A vehicle used for deliveries, contracting, service calls or other business operations should not be assumed to fit a personal-use rating classification.

IRAC review does not make every insurer's price the same

Commercial insurers can have different approved rates and underwriting appetites. Compare equivalent vehicle schedules, liability limits and physical-damage options.

A fleet is not just multiple personal policies

Driver management, radius, vehicle type, cargo and operations can change commercial-auto exposure. The actual structure should match how the business uses the vehicles.
