Drive Commercial Auto, part of The Progressive Group of Insurance Companies, announced plans to offer commercial auto insurance to Massachusetts business owners available exclusively through independent agents. With its entry into Massachusetts, Drive Commercial Auto business is now available in all states, except Hawaii.

Currently, there are about 50 agencies throughout Massachusetts authorized to sell Drive Commercial Auto. Commercial vehicle owners can go to www.driveinsurance.com to find a local agent.

The group’s Commercial Auto business, which specializes in insuring small fleets for new and established businesses, including delivery vans, passenger cars, tow trucks and dump trucks, has grown an average of about 18 percent a year over the past four years.

“We believe that consumers benefit when companies compete for their business, so we’re excited to bring another option to commercial vehicle owners in Massachusetts,” said Cory Fischer, Drive Commercial Auto product manager, Massachusetts.
