By Mt. Franklin Insurance | May 9, 2025

Shane Lipson, MD and Certified Insurance Counselor from Mt. Franklin Insurance tackles an important topic: Hired & Non-Owned Auto (HNOA) Insurance. Even if your business doesn’t own any vehicles, you may still have automobile liability risks that could leave you exposed to costly lawsuits. In this video, Shane breaks down how HNOA coverage works and why every business—big or small—should consider it.

🔹 Key Topics Covered:

✅ What is Hired & Non-Owned Auto Insurance (HNOA)?

✅ How a simple task—like sending an employee on an errand—can put your business at risk.

✅ Why your business can still be sued even if an accident is caused by an employee’s personal car.

✅ The difference between hired auto (rental cars) and non-owned auto (employee-owned vehicles used for business).

✅ How affordable HNOA coverage can be compared to the catastrophic costs of not having it.

🔹 Who Should Watch This?

🔸 Business owners & entrepreneurs

🔸 Contractors & service-based businesses

🔸 HR & risk management professionals

🔸 Anyone responsible for business auto insurance decisions

🔹 Key Takeaways:

🔹 If an employee has an accident while running a business errand, your company can be held liable.
