Vehicles screen for commercial auto

In the Vehicles screen, you create the vehicles that this policy insures. Select the garage location and provide basic information such as VIN and cost for each covered vehicle.

The Vehicles screen has three buttons, Create Vehicle, Remove Vehicle, and Clone Selected. Clicking Create Vehicle displays three cards: Vehicle Details, Coverages, and Additional Coverages.
