Box Truck / Straight Truck Insurance — Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need commercial insurance for a box truck?
Yes. Any truck used for business purposes requires a commercial auto policy. Personal auto insurance excludes vehicles used for business, and a claim during a delivery could be denied. Commercial policies for box trucks start around $350/month.
How much is box truck insurance per month?
Box truck insurance typically costs $350–$1,000 per month ($4,200–$12,000 annually). Delivery fleets with clean driver records average $400–$600/month per truck. Moving company trucks may be higher due to household goods cargo liability.
What coverage does a box truck rental business need?
Rental box truck businesses need commercial auto liability, physical damage (collision & comprehensive), rental fleet coverage for customer-caused damage, and potentially garage liability. Standard commercial trucking policies don't cover rented-out vehicles — you need a specialized fleet rental policy.
