What happens here

The agent discusses the importance of adding 'Hired and Non-Owned Auto' endorsement to a policy, especially for businesses without a fleet of owned vehicles but whose employees use their personal vehicles for work tasks. This endorsement, costing approximately $175 annually, protects the business from liability if an employee has an accident while running an errand on behalf of the company and their personal insurance lapses or is insufficient. Without it, the business could be liable in such situations.

Goal: Understand the need for Hired and Non-Owned Auto coverage for businesses without owned fleets.
