Which statement best describes which vehicle qualifies as a 'covered Auto' for the policy?

• A. A vehicle listed in the declarations
• B. A vehicle rented without listing
• C. A vehicle not owned by the insured
• D. A vehicle used exclusively for commercial rental

Answer: (A)

Covered auto means the specific vehicle or vehicles that the policy will insure, as shown on the declarations page. The declarations list exactly which autos are insured under this policy, so a vehicle that is listed there is covered under the policy’s liability and other coverages. Vehicles that aren’t listed aren’t automatically covered unless there’s a special endorsement or a temporary substitute provision in the policy. A vehicle not owned by the insured typically isn’t covered by a personal auto policy unless otherwise specified, and a vehicle used exclusively for commercial rental would usually fall under a different, commercial policy rather than the private auto policy. That’s why a vehicle listed in the declarations is the correct description of a covered auto.
