Public Auto Insurance

Public Auto Insurance

U.S. Risk Insurance Group, Inc. offers a specialized Public Auto Insurance program for large “wheels” and people-mover accounts. Through access to an A+ XV-rated admitted carrier, this program provides up to $5 million in auto liability limits (including physical damage) and competitive low deductible options. Incidental General Liability (GL) can be added to the auto policy when required, giving you flexibility to package coverages for high-exposure transportation clients.

Ideal Accounts and Appetite

This program is designed for large transportation risks where capacity and experienced underwriting matter. Typical targets include:
  • Shuttle services and people-mover operations
  • Fixed-route transit buses
  • Non-emergency medical transport (non-EMT) vehicles
  • Taxis, truckers, and other large transportation fleets (generally for premiums of $200,000+)
The program works best for accounts with substantial fleets or significant public transportation exposure. Premium thresholds generally start at $75,000 for shuttle and people-mover accounts; other large transportation risks typically begin around $200,000.

Coverage Highlights and Advantages

This market delivers capacity and features tailored to high-limit transportation risks:
  • Auto liability limits up to $5 million, including physical damage
  • Low deductible structures to support loss control and client retention
  • Optional incidental General Liability written with the auto policy
  • Competitive pricing with underwriting flexibility for complex or multi-state risks
  • Responsive claims handling and proactive loss control resources
If you have a regional shuttle fleet or a multi-state trucking operation, this program provides the limits and service model needed to place those accounts effectively.

Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums

To streamline submission and underwriting, provide a complete package that includes:
  • ACORD forms 125, 127, 137 (and 126 if GL is requested)
  • A completed Public Auto or Trucker’s Questionnaire
  • Detailed vehicle schedule with garaging, primary use, operating radius, passenger capacity, and cost-new values
  • Five years of currently valued loss runs
  • Current financial statement
  • Driver list with current MVRs
Minimum premiums start at approximately $75,000 for shuttle and people-mover operations; most other large transportation accounts (taxis, trucking, etc.) will generally begin around $200,000.

Territories and Availability

This Public Auto program is available nationwide — all 50 states and Washington, D.C. — making it suitable for single-state and multi-state operators.
