The biggest difference is who is covered, and it is decided by numbered symbols rather than by a list of cars. A commercial auto declarations page assigns a symbol to each coverage, and that symbol says whether it reaches owned autos only, hired autos, non-owned autos, or any auto. Get the symbol wrong and a vehicle you thought was covered is not. Rating differs too. The three mandatory factors Proposition 103 imposes on private passenger auto do not govern commercial rating, which works from use, radius, weight, and the driver list.
