Which of the following are 'covered autos' as defined in the PAP?

A) none of the answers are correct

B) a vehicle owned by the named insured's employer and provided for the insured's unrestricted use

C) a 10-ton dump truck the named insured borrows from a neighbor because his covered pickup truck will not start

D) a Honda, 4-wheel, ATV not shown on the declarations page

 

It said (C) was the right answer. This is has me totally confused because the manual says "Eligible types are a private passenger auto and a pickup or van that has a Gross Vehicle Weight of less than 10,000 pounds" 10-tons is 20,000 pounds!

J.4 of the Definitions section says "your covered auto" is "Any auto or 'trailer' you do not own while used as a temporary substitute for any other vehicle described in this definition which is out of normal use..." Is that to be taken literally as "Any auto"? Wouldn't that then mean you could borrow a fire truck or a semi-truck because your car is broken down?

Travis,

If you can show that your covered auto is out of commission and the vehcle you are using is a temporary substitute, then there is coverage as a "covered auto" under a PAP.  Insurance will accept this risk because it is highly unlikely that someone would use a semi or a fire truck as a substitute.

Jan, I'd this is the case then why wouldn't the 4-wheel ATV also qualify?

I'd say because it does't state it was borrowed because the covered auto was broken down...its asumed that its owned....thoughts?
