What is hired auto physical damage coverage?

Answer 1

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.
