    How much is commercial auto insurance in Texas?

    In 2025, the national average monthly cost for commercial auto insurance through Progressive Commercial was $260 for contractors and $276 for business auto customers.‡‡ Keep in mind that your Texas commercial auto insurance rate will vary based on your business, eligible auto insurance discounts, and the following factors.

    Profession

    Some industries have more risk than others. For example, a contractor who carries tools and equipment to job sites may pay more than an attorney who primarily drives to client appointments.

    Vehicle

    Your vehicle's size and use affect your rate. A large food truck with a refrigerator and deep fryer will likely have a higher premium than a small cargo van with minimal equipment.

    Driving history

    A clean driving history without accidents or violations can help lower your premium. Insurers typically review the last three years of motor vehicle reports for all drivers.

    Location

    Larger cities like Dallas often see more claims and higher repair expenses than smaller towns, such as Wimberley. Insurers also consider how often severe weather occurs in your area, including hurricanes and tornadoes.

    Travel radius

    How far you routinely travel can influence your commercial auto rate. For example, a local route within San Antonio's city limits may be considered lower risk than a regional route across Texas.

    Coverage needs

    The amount of coverage you need affects your rate. Policies carrying only Texas's minimum liability limits of 30/60/25 usually cost less than those with a $1 million limit.

    Texas commercial auto insurance requirements

    Texas law requires at least $30,000 for bodily injury per person, $60,000 for bodily injury per accident, and $25,000 for property damage per accident. Some vehicles and operations may need higher limits.

    Auto policies in Texas also include personal injury protection (PIP), which pays driver and passenger medical expenses. However, you can sign a waiver to decline this coverage.

    State minimum limits may not fully protect your business. Choosing coverage that matches your risk can help safeguard your assets. Whatever your needs, the insurance specialists at Progressive Commercial will work with you to find a policy. Call us or start an online quote.
