Typical exclusions in a fleet policy

Be aware that most policies will have conditions that will exclude you making claims. These may include:

  • Vehicle theft due  to your negligence.
  • Damage to tyres or body underside.
  • Mechanical breakdown.

When purchasing cover, take time to consider other aspects, for example, does it include cover for driving in Europe? Will you need breakdown cover or goods in transit(GIT)?  These are all important questions that should be considered prior to the purchase of your  policy. 

On some items such as windscreen repair and breakdown cover it may be cheaper to deal directly with a nationwide service provider. This may also be the case for fleet windscreen cover.  

Who is able to drive on a fleet policy?

Standard vehicle insurance is normally limited to one driver or named drivers. However, fleet insurance policies normally offer any driver insurance as standard. This gives greater flexibility and lets you easily replace one driver at short notice. This type of policy is also called a multi driver fleet policy. 

It is worth noting that if your business model only requires named drivers then requesting named drivers will likely reduce your annual premium.

Reducing fleet insurance cost

Fleet insurance cost will depend on a number of factors. For some of these you can take steps to reduce the cost of fleet insurance. We have highlighted some of these in the section below.

  • Always advise your broker immediately of any accident
  • Reduce the number of claims that you make 
  • Select vehicles that attract lower premiums
  • Select drivers over 25 with a clean driving history
  • Secure your vehicles overnight
  • Add tracking devices
  • Increase the excess premium
  • Keep your Vehicles maintained

Consider taking the practical driving test introduced by the UK government. It takes at least 6 hours to complete. Some brokers will offer a discount if your drivers have passed this test. Doing some online research will help you find other ways to reduce the cost of fleet cover.

Remove unnecessary extras

Always check what is included in your 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. Be sure to take out a good level of cover for the items listed below.

  • Your medical costs
  • Vehicle repair costs
  • Damage to your property
Fleet motor insurance

Pay annually rather than monthly installments

In most cases it will slightly cheaper to pay for your insurance premium in one lump sum, as opposed to weekly or monthly payments. If you can afford to pay annually, this should qualify you for a small discount.

Monitor your claims history

This is kept by your broker and is a record of all claims made by your company. 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. The correct type of training will reduce your claims and should bring down your policy cost.

Secure your fleet 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 insurance 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. Try and restrict to named drivers as this will work out cheaper. Drivers are an important factor in determining your fleet costs, if possible also consider the following:

  • Drivers age : your drivers particularly under 25 are seen as high risk and will increase your premium, If possible drivers should be aged 25 or over.
  • Drivers driving history : Drivers with a clean history will not increase your premium, but if you have drivers with a history of claims this will increase your insurance costs. Employ drivers with a clean history and provide additional training to keep a good history of low or no claims

Compare fleet policies

In order to make fair comparisons it is important to identify which core elements that you wish to be standard in your policy. Next look at any additional types of cover that you wish to have included, for example breakdown cover. Taking this approach will help ensure that your quotes include only the items that you need. It should also make it easier for you to compare the offers that you receive. We have listed the key areas of comparison below:

  • The excess amount
  • Any driver age restrictions
  • Policy flexibility, by this we mean can you easily make changes once your policy goes live. This can be very useful for an expanding business.
  • How you will benefit at renewal time if you can keep your policy claims low 
  • Will a replacement vehicle be provided if needed.
