Best Answer

This is coverage that would provide insurance to pay for damage to a vehicle for a vehicle that you rent or use for some reason. This is often an endorsement that you have added to your policy in order to provide this type of coverage. Normally it is done on a commercial policy. The normal endorsement in a commercial setting is called "hired and non-owned coverage" endorsement. The endorsement provides coverage for a rental car or in a situation like if your secretary runs an errand for you and has an accident of some kind. This would provide coverage for the named insured only and not as primary coverage for the other party. The person who owns the car will provide the primary coverage but the endorsement will be secondary.

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.

Does having full coverage auto insurance in MI mean if my car is totaled and I wasn't at fault the car will be paid off?

Firstly, there is no such thing as full coverage auto insurance. This is just a term that developed over time to mean whether or not you wanted physical damage coverage on your vehicle or not. Secondly, if you have physical damage coverage this has nothing to do with what you owe on your vehicle. the physical damage section of an auto policy says that the insurance company has the option to repair, replace, or pay the actual cash value of your vehicle. I suggest if you purchase a new vehicle to consult your agent about GAP coverage which will pay the difference between the ACV of your vehicle and the amount owed. Never purchase this from the dealer and it will cost you several times what you can get it from your insurance company for.
