There is no such thing as a "comprehensive" general liability policy. It is "commercial" to differentiate it from personal-lines coverage. It is commercial general liability policy, or CGL; a generally standard group of coverages, exclusions, limits. This is different than a manafest policy where commercial coverages are added in a customized fashion. A comprehensive policy would be one where a business owner (BOP) might purchase with a pre-set group of coverages, exclusions, and limits. Thanks Actually, the term "Comprehensive General Liability" was replaced in 1986 with the term "Commercial General Liability." They are essentially the same policies.

Two types of excess liability umbrella policies are "personal umbrella policies" and "commercial umbrella policies." Personal umbrella policies provide additional liability coverage for individuals beyond their home, auto, or boat insurance, protecting against claims such as lawsuits for bodily injury or property damage. Commercial umbrella policies offer similar extended liability coverage for businesses, safeguarding against claims that exceed the limits of their underlying commercial policies, such as general liability or employer's liability.
You need to purchase a commercial auto insurance policy with a million dollar limits for bodily injury and property damage. A $1,000,000 limit is standard for commercial auto and shouldn't be too costly. Your insurance broker can help you get this policy. If you need additional coverage above the limits offered by your auto insurer you can obtain an umbrella policy that will extend the limits of all underlying coverage.
I think your best bet is to contact a multi-line agent, there are many different limits, the amount of exposure etc.

A personal liability, or umbrella, policy pays liability limits above those you can get on your homeowners or other basic liability policy. If you are thinking of buying a personal liability policy, begin by finding out the maximum amount of personal liability your homeowners policy provides. Make sure you coordinate the liability limits so that the umbrella policy covers any liability claim in excess of the amount your basic policy will pay, up to the maximum limits of the policy.
It is customary to have the same limits on UM as you would have for your own liability limits.

Generally speaking the answer is NO. Commercial auto insurance is more expensive that personal auto insurance because of the (1) frequency of using the auto- more often in commercial, (2) Commercial auto can cause more damage in accidents, and (3) bigger lawsuits are more evident in accidents involving commercial autos. There are very few exceptions. For example, a personal auto carried by a 16 year driver living in an urban area with few violations and a certain amount of liability limits can be more expensive than a commercial auto policy for a 35 years old suburban driver, with clean record, for comparable liability limits.
The limits vary by state. Where are you?
