Commercial Auto Insurance for Contractors — The Woodlands, TX

Commercial auto insurance for contractors in Texas typically ranges from $150 to $600+ per month per vehicle, depending on the type of vehicle, the driver's record, coverage limits, and the nature of your contracting work. Specialty or hard-to-place risks may sit above this range. Soma works with hundreds of carriers to find competitive rates tailored to your specific fleet and trade, often securing pricing that standard brokers cannot match.

A commercial auto policy for contractors typically covers bodily injury and property damage liability, physical damage to your vehicles (collision and comprehensive), medical payments, and uninsured/underinsured motorist protection. For contractors, policies can also be extended to cover tools and equipment in transit, hired and non-owned vehicles, and trailer attachment — creating a program tailored to how your business operates.

Yes. Personal auto policies typically exclude business use, which means your business faces significant liability exposure if an employee is in an accident while driving their personal vehicle for work purposes. Hired and Non-Owned Auto (HNOA) coverage fills this gap, protecting your contracting business from claims arising from employee-operated vehicles that your company does not own.

Yes. Soma specializes in placing coverage for hard-to-insure risks, including contractor fleets with drivers who have prior violations, accidents, or limited driving history. Our access to specialty and non-standard carriers means we can find viable coverage options where standard markets decline, helping you keep your fleet protected and your operations compliant.

Commercial auto policies for contractors can cover a wide range of vehicles, including pickup trucks, cargo vans, flatbed trucks, dump trucks, service utility trucks, trailers, and specialty work vehicles. Soma works with carriers that have appetite across all vehicle classes — including heavy-duty and specialty equipment vehicles that standard commercial auto carriers often decline to insure.

Personal auto insurance is designed for private passenger use and explicitly excludes most business activities. Commercial auto insurance provides higher liability limits, broader coverage for business use, and the ability to cover multiple drivers, multiple vehicles, and commercial cargo or equipment. For contractors, using a personal policy for a work vehicle creates a significant coverage gap that can result in denied claims after an accident.
