New Vehicle Replacement Cost Coverage – Allied’s Commercial Auto Plus Endorsement can cover new private passenger vehicles, or pick up trucks up to 20,000 gross vehicle weight, without depreciation, if they are in an accident resulting in a total loss.

Hired Auto Physical Damage with Loss of Use Coverage – Allied’s Commercial Auto Plus Endorsement can cover rental vehicles for collision or comprehensive coverage, if the business also purchased hired auto liability coverage, and has collision & comprehensive coverages on owned vehicles.
