Using International Auto Insurance

Options for using international auto insurance to cover business trips or operations
By J. Stoltzfus, writer/programmer LOCAL CITIZEN For all kinds of businesses that have dealings out of the U.S., international auto insurance is a must. You wouldn't go anywhere in the U.S. without car insurance, so why would you expect staffers to do anything else when traveling abroad? Fortunately, the power of the web brings you options for getting the coverage you need to do business beyond borders.
 

Different businesses take advantage of international vehicle insurance in ways tailored to their needs. In addition to short-term or long-term travel policies, business leaders can choose from a number of options for outfitting staff with auto and auto-related insurance. Consider each of these buys according to your overseas operations for using international auto insurance:

1. Single vehicle international car insurance for executive travel or sales visits.

2. Fleet international auto insurance for managing a group of vehicles deployed outside of the U.S.

3. Additional worldwide car insurance policy options including provisions for unforeseen situations involving acts of war, personal liability or kidnapping.
