A florist regularly rents box trucks during the holiday rush to make deliveries. Which Business Auto symbol most accurately picks up coverage on those rented trucks?
Explanation
Symbol 8 means hired autos only — vehicles the named insured leases, hires, rents, or borrows (other than from employees, partners, or members of their households). Renting box trucks from a commercial rental agency is the classic hired-auto exposure. Symbol 2 wouldn't apply because the trucks are not owned; Symbol 9 wouldn't apply because the trucks are not employee-owned/non-owned in that sense.
