This is cover aimed at a business with 2 or more vehicles. A fleet policy lets you cover multiple vehicles - from cars, taxis,vans,minibuses or trucks or indeed a mix of vehicle types under business use.
Fleet insurance provides cover for all your commercial motors under one easy to manage policy. This type of cover is flexible and can be used to insure 2 or more vehicles. A mix of vehicles can be included for example, cars, vans and lorries.
The price is determined by a number of factors, high amongst these are the number of vehicles in the fleet, fleet claims history and the driving history of employees.
Zego is a current example of a provider that offers user fleet usage insurance. The idea is that you pay a base fixed rate and a variable amount on top that is based on usage. So if your fleet sits in the car park most of the day you will pay a lower premium that if your feet is mostly out on the road.
Fleet insurance as a product is designed to cover any business type that relies on 2 or more vehicles to conduct their business. Examples would include, but not limited to, business fleet insurance, courier fleet insurance and taxi fleet insurance.
Levels of cover available
Comprehensive Cover
Also termed "fully comp" this is the highest level of cover and includes the following:
Third Party Fire & Theft
Third party is the legal minimum with fire and theft being an added optional. This may be a cost effective approach for large commercial fleets that can make it cost effective to partly self insure. This level of cover is less expensive, but that is reflected in the level of cover provided.
Third Party Only
Typical exclusions in a fleet policy
Be aware that most policies will have conditions that will exclude you making claims. These may include:
Reducing car fleet insurance costs
The cost of your motor fleet insurance will depend on a number of factors. One determining factor which unfortunately you have no control over is your business postcode. Inner city post codes attract a higher premium as statistically the number of claims for theft and accidents are higher in these areas. For some of these you can take steps to reduce the overall cost, these are highlighted in the table below.
Remove unnecessary extras
Always check what is included in your car fleet insurance policy. Remove any cover that your business does not need. At the same time you need to be careful that you don't omit cover that is required.
Pay annually rather than monthly installments
In most cases it will be slightly cheaper to pay for your premium in one lump sum. Paying in weekly or monthly payments will normally work out more expensive.
Monitor your claims history
This is kept by your broker and is a record of all claims made by your company against your business fleet insurance policy. Request a copy from your broker and analyse for trends. Example a particular type of accident or multiple claims by one driver. Take action by providing your employees with additional training.
Secure your Vehicles
Can you improve security by providing overnight secured parking. If not secure parking can you add additional lighting to deter theft. Speak with your broker on other measures that they recommend to reduce vehicle theft or damage by vandalism.
Restrict you fleet to named drivers
If you can restrict your policy to named drivers this will reduce your premium. Any driver fleet policy is great for flexibility, but does come with additional costs. Drivers are an important factor in determining your premium costs, if possible also consider the following:
