When thinking of insurance on a vehicle you are driving always remember this: You insure the vehicle, not the driver. So my answer would be according to the coverage purchased on the specific auto. If your employer has purchased a collision policy that is a replacement cost policy for the vehicle, the insurance company should pay the amount needed to replace that specific vehicle after they take into account mileage, vehicle condition etc. (market value). There may be a deductible due according to the policy, however there shouldn't be any other fees involved.
Insurance covers the car, and your employer has the choice of how much coverage and who to add as an authorized driver.
If you were instructed to drive the car, whether or not your employer actually added you as an authorized driver, insurance is supposed to cover it. However you might be requiered to pay the deductible if it was your fault.
If you were not permitted or instructed to drive, then you could be held liable for the whole amount.
It depends on several things, especially if the insurance is full coverage or liability only. Also depends on the laws in that state, if the driver were breaking traffic laws, drunk, on drugs - legal or illegal, and if the car is up to date with registration and inspection.

You're reading If an insured driver is driving a vehicle owned by his employer and the vehicle is totalled in an accident caused by the driver, is the driver normally covered under his policy for the market value of the vehicle? Or would reimbursement be out of pocket?
