What is Hired & Non-Owned Auto Liability Coverage?

Hired Auto Coverage means auto liability coverage for claims resulting from rented/hired auto/van/charter bus used for your event to transport employees, volunteers or individuals and Non-Owned Auto Coverage means auto liability coverage for claims resulting from employees or volunteers driving their autos while completing business for your event. In short, Hired and Non-Owned Automobile Liability Insurance protects the insured group against third-party lawsuits arising from the use of automobiles which are not owned or are rented, chartered or hired by the insured, such as a chartered bus.
