What is the definition of a hired auto?
I would think an auto that is 'hired' or used for a fee. Rental car, taxi, bus, limo, etc. Hired auto is an optional endorsement that should be added to all commercial auto policies. It is commonly added with non-ownership liability and collectively is referred to as non-owned and hired coverage. Hired auto liability covers the liability arising from the used of rented or borrowed vehicles. The premium is based on the actual rental expenditures and can be added to a commercial auto policy on an "if any" basis generally for less than $50. Some insurance companies will also provide hired auto physical damage coverage which will provide collision and comprehensive coverage for hired or borrowed vehicles

What is employers non ownership auto liability insurance?
An employer's non-owner is usually an endorsement to a commercial auto or commercial general liability policy that is actually called hired and non-owned coverage. I always recommend this endorsement to my commercial clients because it is very inexpensive and provides coverage to the employer in cases where an employer has to drive to the bank or post office or similar errands. If an accident occurs the endorsement provides coverage for the employer only. It does not provide coverage to the employee who is still required to carry their own insurance. it provides secondary coverage only.
if your subcontractor is involved in an auto accident is your business liable?
Absolutely your business could be liable if the person is working for you at the time. Their insurance would be primary but you could be found secondarily liable. You can purchase a coverage called hired and non-owned coverage as an amendment to your business auto or liability insurance which would provide you coverage for this type of incident. The coverage is usually very inexpensive as it is secondary coverage.
What types of insurance do you need to deliver restaurant-prepared food to private residences?
The correct answer is that you need the following: 1. Owned commercial auto coverage (if you are using your own "restaurant owners" vehicle(s) to deliver your products). You need auto insurance on those auto(s). Be careful as to the distinction between the owner's personal auto and that of the actual business, since they can be two different things. An owner's personal auto that is not registered to the business generally is not considered a commercial auto and certainly would not be automatically covered by a carrier for food delivery. If the vehicle(s) are registered to the business, make sure there is liability insurance at a minimum (at least $500,000 limit CSL; preferably $1 mil limit). Secondly, the next type of auto liability insurance to consider is "Non-Owned" and "Hired Auto Liability". Non-Owned Auto protects the business owner from liability claims associated with auto accidents from vehicles that the business "does not own", hence, the term "Non-Owned". These are vehicles that aren't owned by the business, but employees use for the businesses' benefit (as an agent of theirs). There is special non-owned auto coverage available for food delivery. Hired Auto covers an exposure similar to "owned" auto, but for vehicles that are temporarily rented. None of the auto coverages mentioned herein are automatically covered and must be underwritten carefully before coverage is bound. 2. The other insurance you will need is workers compensation on any employee that is involved in delivering the food. If this is a common practice, the workers compensation carrier will need to know this exposure. 3. Commonly overlooked, but another risk exposure related to food delivery is the product liability itself for the food you are delivering. Food that is released from the care, custody and control of the restaurant takes on a different set of standards, since the food can be left out to spoil, get contaminated, or host to various risk exposures that may be better controlled by a larger staff and procedures. The liability policy should also cover premises and completed operations, in case there is an accident related to the delivery (such as tripping over power cords, inadvertently causing an off-premises fire, spilling hot water on someone, etc). These are the basics related to food delivery, however, many more risk exposures exist for a restaurant in general such as EPL, property coverage and bonds. == == == == Liability Insurance on vehicle, since you are not responsible for the food or it's preparation.
What type of motor insurance for food delivery do you need?

Does a pizzeriaowner need to have insurance for delivery drivers?
They need to make it a requirement that their drivers carry liability insurance up to a certain limit and that they are listed as additional insured on the policy so that they would be notified if the policy cancelled. On top of this they need to make sure that they have their commercial insurance endorsed for "Hired and Non-Owned Auto Liability" coverage. The driver would be primarily responsible for any accidents and then the businessowner's insurance would cover the business only and not the driver.
Do you need to get insurance for your licence even if you don't drive a car in Connecticut?
In case you need to rent a car or borrow one, or drive a friend in theirs if they become incapactitated, it's a good idea to keep a "Hired & Non-Owned" policy for Auto Liability. They aren't expensive, and should you purchase a car down the road it will help you be able to find affordable insurance - insurance companies don't like it when drivers don't have a record of claims and may charge a lot more if you don't! Be sure to call your agent before you drive off in a car you just bought - the Hired & Non-Owned policy will NOT cover it.
