Overview of Hired & Non-Owned Auto Insurance
Hired and non-owned auto (HNOA) insurance covers liability that may arise when a business uses vehicles it does not own, such as rented vehicles or employees’ personal cars driven for work. It often pairs with general liability for businesses that have no owned commercial auto policy, helping close a gap the driving itself creates.
You do not have to own a single vehicle to have a real auto exposure. The moment an employee runs an errand in their own car or your team rents a van for a job, your business could be pulled into a claim. We help California businesses cover the driving they rely on but do not own.

California roads are busy, and a serious accident can bring liability that reaches your business even when the vehicle is not yours. Because employees frequently use personal cars for work here, HNOA is a common gap-filler for California businesses that skip a full commercial auto policy.
