If I use my personal vehicle for University business, do I need to notify my broker or insurance company?

Yes. If you are using your vehicle for University business, particularly if it is more than on an infrequent basis, your vehicle would need to be "rated" for business use. What this means is that the insurance company needs to collect the correct premium for the use of the vehicle. Otherwise, the insurance company may say that you have misrepresented the use of the vehicle. Please review the Use of Personal Vehicles Guidelines.
