Commercial Car Insurance Rates in Michigan
Reader’s Question:
My husband is starting a home-based business. Is it required for us to get commercial car insurance in Michigan? Take note that we are going to do business at home only and will be using our car for purchasing stuff needed for our business. Thanks!

I am not sure what the answer is since you guys are still on the verge of starting a home-based business. But I will tell you that in some cases, most home-based entrepreneur who are using their car once a week for the purpose of transporting goods or supplies are converting their personal car insurance to commercial car insurance in Michigan just to play it safe. It will surely be a big problem for the car owner to be caught into an accident and the car insurance company found out that they are using their vehicle for business purposes. It will surely pose a problem when getting claims, since commercial car insurance have totally different set of policies.
In most cases, there are different rules when it comes to car insurance in different states, I advice you to ask a car insurance broker in your area or your car insurance company if you need to replace your existing policy so you are not risking your current insurance status.
If you are not tight on budget, you could pay the extra premium and go for commercial car insurance, it will surely be helpful and you wont be thinking if you are breaking the rules or not. Anyways, acquiring commercial car insurance is basically the same as getting a normal one. You can also save by shopping around and comparing quotes.
