Myth or Fact?

❌ Myth: My personal auto insurance covers me while I’m making deliveries for work.

✔️ Fact: Personal auto policies may exclude coverage for business activities.

If you use your vehicle for pizza delivery, food delivery, package delivery, or other work, check your policy before you hit the road. Coverage can depend on the terms of your policy and applicable exclusions.

Know your coverage before you need it.

Before you need it, know it.

Take five minutes to review your insurance policy and make sure you understand:

• What’s excluded
• What you’ll pay, including your deductible and any coverage limits

Knowing your coverage before you need it can help you make informed decisions and avoid surprises when it matters most.

Review your policy. Know your coverage. Be prepared.
