Travelers Expands Commercial Auto Coverage Market

  
    
  
  
    
      Travelers today announced the availability of commercial auto coverage 
      for small to mid-sized businesses on a monoline basis through its Select 
      Accounts, Commercial Accounts and Construction divisions. This expanded 
      monoline auto program provides a high-liability commercial auto policy 
      on a stand-alone basis even when the supporting lines of coverage do not 
      qualify.
    
    
      “Agents often have trouble finding a desirable 
      standard market for their commercial auto business. Our monoline program 
      allows agents to separate the commercial auto coverage needs and 
      consider Travelers as a better alternative,” 
      said Bill Cunningham, president of Travelers Commercial Accounts. “This 
      gives customers the benefits of a preferred market, including superior 
      service, a vast network of claim professionals in all 50 states, and the 
      comfort of knowing that the number one writer of commercial auto in the 
      U.S. is standing behind them.”
    
    
      “The combination of high limits and additional 
      coverage options through Travelers’ Business 
      Auto Coverage Extension Endorsement allows agents to offer one of the 
      best commercial auto policies available,” 
      added Todd Bateson, president of Travelers Construction.
    
    
      Travelers also simplifies commercial auto insurance for companies 
      working in more than one state by covering multi-state exposures on one 
      policy, a feature both commercial and construction customers often 
      require.(a) A minimum of five vehicles to very large fleets can be 
      covered individually or as a group.
    
    
      “Commercial auto is available to all Travelers 
      agents, and our broad appetite for a wide variety of business classes 
      opens the door for agents to increase their customer offerings and 
      ultimately their business,” said Marc 
      Schmittlein, president of Travelers Select Accounts. “They 
      can underwrite the monoline coverage just as they would for coverage 
      associated with another package by submitting accounts easily through 
      IENetSM, Travelers’ 
      award-winning rate, quote and issuance system or through their local 
      middle market field office.”
