Cochrane & Company offers a focused, non-admitted Hired & Non-Owned Auto Insurance program that helps agents and brokers place auto liability and excess liability for businesses that rely on rented or personally owned vehicles for operations. The program is designed for risks where the client needs liability protection for drivers or hired vehicles they do not own, and it’s structured to complement a driver’s personal insurance or a primary business auto policy. Ideal Accounts and Appetite This program fits small to mid-sized businesses that make regular local deliveries or service calls using non-owned vehicles. Typical target classes include: Food delivery services Auto parts couriers Bakeries Florists Home health care providers and mobile caregivers You can place single-location businesses or accounts with multiple locations across the eligible states. For example, a home health care agency with nurses or aides who use personal vehicles for client visits can benefit from Hired & Non-Owned liability placed through this program. Restricted Classes Underwriting limits this program from accepting certain higher-exposure classes. Ineligible or restricted accounts typically include: Realtors and real estate brokerages Timed or expedited delivery services (high-frequency, guaranteed-time deliveries) Human transportation operations (rideshare, shuttle or taxi services) Trucking operations (vehicles beyond light pickups) Sales forces and temporary staffing agencies with mobile workforces Coverage Highlights and Advantages Hired & Non-Owned Auto liability limits available up to $7 million Excess and umbrella layers available to increase protection Flexible structures — standalone program or layered over driver's personal insurance or a primary business policy No receipt restrictions on hired vehicle coverage Minimum premiums available from approximately $2,430 (varies by limit and structure) Low deductibles or Self-Insured Retentions (SIRs) can be accommodated Designed to serve both localized accounts and larger regional/national placements within eligible states Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums This non-admitted program gives underwriters flexibility to structure pricing and terms to match account needs. Minimum premium levels start around $2,430 for lower limits, but final pricing depends on exposure, limits, claims history, and whether coverage will be written as excess over a primary policy or over drivers’ personal auto policies. Provide complete loss runs and details about delivery frequency and driver screening to get accurate terms quickly.
