Personal Auto PolicyQuestion 366 of 474

Under a Personal Auto Policy, coverage generally extends to a newly acquired vehicle and to a temporary substitute auto when the insured's car is being repaired. This reflects that the policy:

a.Covers only those vehicles listed on the declarations page
b.Covers any vehicle the insured drives, without conditions
c.Excludes every borrowed or substitute vehicle from coverage
d.Extends automatic coverage to newly acquired and substitute autos

Explanation

The Personal Auto Policy defines covered autos to include the vehicles listed on the declarations plus, within policy rules, newly acquired autos (for a limited time, sometimes requiring notice) and a temporary substitute auto used while a covered vehicle is out of service. This prevents a coverage gap when the insured changes cars or uses a loaner during repairs, though specific conditions and time limits apply.
