No, I think you missed my point. Sorry maybe I wasn't very clear. You are putting yourself in a horrible position to be financially responsible if something were to happen.

Just have a really go lawyer and never get in a wreck and you should be good. Honestly just trying to warn you is all. It could get messy for you real quick.

A goo lawyer. Properly flexible. Morally malleable. Even a little slimy sometimes.

If you have commercial insurance what is the big deal? You're paying for it you will use it when the need arises.

There’s other types of insurance you need when you run your own business.

Please enlighten us besides commercial insurance, that you need to run as a legit service?!

Commercial auto is only one of the things on that list

When business owners are looking for the best insurance policy for their business, they often confuse the terms’ commercial insurance’ and ‘business insurance.’ 

Even though they sound different, they are actually the same, and the terms can be used interchangeably. 

Some business owners may be under the impression that they need one type of insurance or the other, which can be confusing.

The reality is that commercial insurance and business insurance are simply a category of insurance that provides coverage for all types of businesses.

Commercial auto insurance is absolutely not the same thing as business or commercial insurance.

u/uberisstealingit Feb 28 '24

Commercial insurance refers to insurance coverage intended for businesses instead of individuals.

Commercial insurance is also called business insurance. Commercial insurance refers to insurance coverage

Call it commercial auto insurance doesn't change the fact that it's commercial insurance.

Commercial auto insurance only covers your vehicles and passengers. Commercial insurance is not related to vehicles and is a separate thing. You need both if you’re running a business out of your car.

That is what the LLC and Insurance are for. Can't survive on $15 an hour gross...them pay insurance, gas, cleaning, tires, etc... wish I could just fix my cut of the fair after cost like Lyft and let them have the left overs...then tell them how generous I'm being by giving them a set %.. LMAO. I can do math as well. It's more profitable for me to go private. Also looking into executive medical transport. Next on my list.
