Signs may be simple or complex and many businesses typically use lighted signs. The Sign policy created by Insurance Services Office is available to insure against the loss or destruction of signs, including fluorescent, neon, automatic or mechanical sign. Coverage also extends to lamps. However, fixed, non-lighted signs (such as billboards) are not eligible under a sign policy, even if they are illuminated by separate electric lights.

The price of the vehicle, along with the kinds of features it has will also affect your **commercial auto insurance premium**. This cost will linger every year when a business renews its **commercial auto insurance**.  Factors such as the vehicle’s age, usage type and class will also have an effect on the commercial auto insurance premium. Having the knowledge about how a **commercial insurance premium** is calculated will allow a business owner to evaluate the most cost effective option for his or her company.
