What do Commercial Automobile Symbols Mean???

What do Commercial Automobile Symbols Mean???



Below is a brief description of what the symbols mean. It is imperative that you understand these symbols to ensure that you are properly covered. For Liability you have symbols 1 - 9.  For you Physical damage coverage you will have Symbols 1-5.

At times, there may not be an applicable symbol for the type of coverage provided. In those instances, a special symbol is used and added to the policy by way of an endorsement. The endorsement will contain a complete description and explanation of the symbol’s meaning, and the symbol will also appear with the applicable coverages on the policy.

Consult The Insurance Guy Michael Fillers to make sure you are covered properly.
