What does the Business Auto Policy (BAP) cover?

1. Only liability insurance for businesses

2. Property damage and liability for business automobiles

3. Personal auto insurance

4. Insurance for employee-owned vehicles

The correct answer is: Property damage and liability for business automobiles

The Business Auto Policy (BAP) is specifically designed to provide coverage for vehicles used in the course of conducting business. It includes both property damage and liability coverage for business-owned automobiles, ensuring that the vehicle and its operations are protected against risks associated with accidents, theft, and damage. The property damage aspect covers costs resulting from damage to other vehicles or property when a business vehicle is involved in an accident. Liability coverage protects the business in the event that they are found legally responsible for injuries or damages to third parties. This dual focus on liability and property damage makes the BAP essential for businesses relying on vehicles for their operations. In contrast, other options do not encapsulate the full scope of the BAP. For example, liability insurance for businesses is only one component of the coverage provided by the BAP, while personal auto insurance is tailored for individual drivers rather than business use. Insurance for employee-owned vehicles is typically covered under different arrangements, such as non-owned auto liability coverage, which is also not encompassed by the BAP itself.
