Houses of worship running passenger vans — typically 12- and 15-seat units used for youth-group trips, choir transport, senior outreach, and weekday shuttle service — face the same commercial-auto regulatory environment as for-hire passenger carriers, even though the operation is non-profit. Florida First Insurance of Broward writes 501(c)(3) and faith-based fleet auto with carriers comfortable with religious-organization risks.
Most placements bundle commercial auto liability at $1M CSL (often increased to $2M-$5M by lender or denominational requirement), physical damage at stated value, hired-and-non-owned auto for volunteer-driven trips, general liability for premises, and an abuse-and-molestation exclusion endorsement or coverage form depending on program type. Driver MVR screening and 15-passenger rollover-prevention practices factor into pricing.
Faith-based van accounts bind across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach; Collier and Lee in the southwest; Sarasota and Manatee in the Suncoast; Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco around Tampa Bay; Polk, Orange, and Seminole in central Florida; Brevard and Volusia on the Space Coast; Alachua, Marion, and Duval through North and Northeast Florida; and Leon and Escambia along the Panhandle.
Coverage is available for churches, temples, mosques, and faith-based ministries in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie, Palm Bay, Melbourne, Titusville, Daytona Beach, Jacksonville, Gainesville, Ocala, Orlando, Lakeland, Winter Haven, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Sarasota, Bradenton, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Punta Gorda, Naples, Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach, Panama City, and Tallahassee.
