Fleet insurance allows you to cover two or more of your business vehicles under a single policy. If you have multiple vans or other company vehicles, fleet insurance consolidates coverage into one policy, rather than insuring each vehicle separately.
With a single fleet insurance policy, all vehicles share the same renewal date and coverage level. This simplifies fleet management by eliminating the need to track multiple renewal dates or coverage types.
Additionally, fleet insurance can save you a significant amount of money, as individual policies for each vehicle are usually more expensive. To provide you with all the details, we’ve compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions about fleet insurance.
Fleet insurance is available to any organisation with two or more vehicles, regardless of the type of business. This means that no matter what your company does, you can be covered by fleet insurance.
Fleet insurance covers your vehicles and drivers in the event of an incident or theft. It also includes liability coverage for damage to other vehicles if one of your drivers is at fault in an accident.
Generally, fleet insurance does not cover damage caused by wear and tear, uninsured goods in your driver’s vehicle, electrical or mechanical failures, theft from vehicles in cases where goods were left on display, or theft where doors were left unlocked.
Unlike individual policies, fleet insurance covers any licensed driver. This means that anyone can drive the vehicles, assuming they have permission from the organisation.
To qualify for fleet insurance, you need at least two vehicles, whether a LGV or HGV. The maximum number of vehicles covered under a single fleet policy varies by provider, with some allowing up to 1,000 vehicles. However, each provider has its own minimum and maximum limits for the number of vehicles you can insure.
Fleet insurance is calculated based on several factors, including the size of the fleet, the types of vehicles, the average age of the drivers, who drives specific vehicles, and the fleet’s claims history. If your fleet has been involved in many incidents with numerous outstanding claims, your premiums will be higher.
Depending on the insurer, an employee must be at least 21 or 25 years old to be covered under a fleet insurance policy without being listed as a named driver. Younger drivers also have a higher excess applied while driving.
Implementing fleet management software allows you to monitor and gather data on your drivers' safety. This information can be shared with your insurance provider to demonstrate that you operate a safe fleet, reducing your premiums. Moreover, using electronic logging devices (ELDs) to collect data from your vehicles can further help in lowering insurance costs.
Equipping your fleet with dash cams facilitates identifying and correcting risky driving behaviours such as harsh braking and over-acceleration. Dash cams also provide clear evidence in the event of a collision, which can reduce the cost of insurance claims and decrease your premiums. Furthermore, using digital tachographs supports effective management of driver hours of service to combat fatigue, guaranteeing compliance with regulations.
Using in-cab coaching and monitoring your drivers to identify areas for improvement can ensure they adopt safer driving habits. Paired with providing driver training for those who need it further demonstrates your commitment to safety, which can positively influence your insurance rates.
