Mastering Business Auto Symbols - Their Importance and How They ‘‘Work’’
The Insurance Services Ofce (ISO) Business Auto Coverage Form is an incredibly important risk nance tool for
many of our clients. Agents MUST understand this policy’s coverage symbols and how they are essential to the
process of ‘‘constructing’’ coverage. Whether your insured uses large trucks, pickups or private passenger autos,
a keen understanding of this coverage form begins with an understanding of coverage symbols.
