2 INTRODUCTION COMMERCIAL AUTO The ISO Business Auto policy will be used to provide Commercial Auto coverage. We will generally write this coverage only when we provide the customer s Commercial Property and Liability insurance and there is no hauling for hire exposure. The Commercial Auto program is designed to provide coverage for eligible Commercial Auto insureds whose radius of use is within 200 miles of the place of garaging and whose regular operation is within the six states (Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota) where North Star writes auto policies. APPLICATION PROCEDURE The Business Auto ACORD application shall be used to apply for coverage for vehicles of the Commercial type. When an application is prepared it shall be sent to our office the same day if coverage is to begin immediately. The policy term begins at 12:01 A.M. at the address of the insured on the effective date; however, coverage will not begin prior to the time the application is prepared. If coverage is bound, do not hold the application pending receipt of additional information from the applicant. The application should be submitted with a notation indicating that additional information will follow. Applications should be completed in detail. All applications must be signed by the applicant and the agent. List all drivers, including family members that will drive company vehicles, and employees who drive their own vehicles on company business. This includes all full-time and part-time operators. An updated drivers list will be requested periodically. When the policy covers private passenger type vehicles titled in the name of the business, and used for personal use, the names and dates of birth for all household members, including children not of driving age must be furnished on the application. When an application is received and coverage is bound, a policy will be issued. If it is determined that the company underwriting requirements are not met, the policy will be mailed and a cancellation notice issued with a pro rata earned premium charged. Flat cancellations are not permitted. If an agent wants to determine if an applicant is acceptable, he may submit a signed application, indicating COVERAGE NOT BOUND, and we will conduct our underwriting review. It is important to furnish complete information on the questionability of the applicant with the application. Upon completion of our review, we will advise if the applicant is acceptable. The application will be retained in our office. PREMIUM PROCEDURES A. New Business Premium payments must accompany all applications. The premiums can be prepaid (full policy amount submitted with the application), or installment billed. Refer to the BILLING INFORMATION Section of the manual for specific billing information. If the installment option is selected, the minimum down payment must be submitted with the application. B. Renewals For policies not on the monthly billing option, a renewal billing notice will be sent 15 days prior to the renewal effective date. The notice will indicate the total amount due and will also show the amount due for the installment option. C. Endorsements If installments are remaining, the endorsement premium will be spread to future installment billings. If no installments are remaining, a bill will be sent immediately. Return premiums are made payable to the insured and sent to the insured. Nebraska New Business North Star Mutual Ins. Co. NSCA 1 Renewals

3 PREMIUM PROCEDURES Continued D. Down Payment Requirements A minimum down payment of two months must be attached to all new applications. E. All installment and renewal payments should be sent with the remittance portion of the billing notice to: North Star Mutual PO Box 48 Cottonwood MN F. Renewal premiums must be in our office on or before the due date indicated. If the agent receives the money after the renewal date, he may bind coverage at the time he receives the money by preparing a new application. Do not date the application back to the renewal date. It must be dated on or after the date the renewal premium is received. The agent can bind coverage only by preparing a new application showing the date and time of day payment is received, and promptly submitting it with the required down payment to our office. Show the prior policy number of the application. G. If the insured makes a change on the policy in the renewal period, it is important that the renewal premium payment be received in our office to keep the policy from lapsing. The debit or credit endorsement will be processed accordingly. It is important to timely pay the amount billed to keep the policy from lapsing. H. Nonpayment A second billing notice will not be issued. If payment is not received by the date due, the following notices will be processed: 1. Renewals A lapse notice will be sent one day after the renewal date. 2. Installments and Endorsements A cancellation carry date will be established and a Final Premium/Cancellation Notice will be issued 23 days prior to the carry date. I. Bad Check Charge Checks returned by the bank for insufficient funds or similar reasons will result in an NSF check charge. COVERED AUTO DESIGNATION SYMBOLS ISO s Covered Auto Designation Symbols are used to indicate the autos that are covered autos in the policy. The available coverage symbols are as follows: 5 = OWNED AUTOS SUBJECT TO NO-FAULT Only those autos the insured owns that are required to have No-Fault benefits in the state where they are licensed or principally garaged. This includes those autos the insured acquires ownership of after the policy begins provided they are required to have No- Fault benefits in the state where they are licensed or principally garaged. 6 = OWNED AUTOS SUBJECT TO A COMPULSORY UNINSURED MOTORIST LAW Only those autos the insured owns that, because of the law in the state where they are licensed or principally garaged, are required to have, and cannot reject Uninsured Motorists Coverage.
