Startup Coverage
Hired/Non-Owned Auto (HNOA).
When employees drive their personal vehicles or rent cars on company business, your company can be held vicariously liable for any accidents they cause. Hired/Non-Owned Auto coverage closes the gap left by personal auto policies and rental car agreements — protecting the business from liability exposure that arises whenever your team is on the road for work purposes.

How OnePark Risk Helps
HNOA is particularly relevant for startups whose teams travel frequently for client meetings, trade shows, or on-site deployments. OnePark Risk typically structures HNOA as an endorsement to your General Liability policy or as part of a BOP, depending on travel frequency and your existing auto coverage. We review your employee travel policies to confirm coverage conditions align with how your team actually uses vehicles.
