The General Liability Insurance Policy provides state employees with auto liability coverage (bodily injury and/or property damage to others) while driving state-owned vehicles or while driving personally owned or rental vehicles on official state business. The automobile physical damage policy provides coverage for damage to state-owned vehicles only. Damage to rental vehicles driven on official state business is covered under the state rental car contract. Damage to personally owned vehicles driven on official state business is not covered by the state auto physical damage policy. Employees are encouraged to check with their personal insurance company to verify whether their personal automobile insurance policy covers damage to their personally owned vehicle while operating on official state business.
 

Auto Insurance Cards - The Georgia Liability Insurance Identification Card FY2024 should be placed in each state vehicle and presented as insurance verification. Employees who use personal vehicles while engaging in official state business should also keep a card in their vehicle in case of an accident.
