Finding the Right Fleet Insurance Policy

When you are looking for fleet insurance services, you need to know what kind of motor fleet insurance you actually need. Typically, you need fleet insurance for 3 vehicles or more, although some brokers only offer policies for more than five vehicles.

There are different requirements for cars than vans, for example, and the age of both your vehicles and drivers can influence the price of your policy. There are a few different types of vehicle and business that require specific features in order to be fully covered. These can include:

  • Haulage Fleet Insurance
    If you operate a haulage company that transports goods like coal or waste, you will need insurance that covers what can be very expensive vehicles. The risk factors of carrying such heavy, and sometimes dangerous goods, are high, which is why haulage fleet insurance can be costly. However, the potential implications of having an uninsured fleet could be huge. HGV fleet insurance is the best option for full protection
  • Multi-Vehicle Fleets
    If you have a fleet of many different kinds of vehicle (a mix of vans, cars and motorbikes for instance), you can get a policy that covers them all. This needs to be comprehensive as there will be different elements to insure for motorbikes than there will be for cars
  • Van Fleet Insurance
    Some large plumbers, electricians and decorating companies utilise a fleet of vans to carry out day to day work, moving business-critical equipment back and forth to jobs. In in this instance, business truck insurance for your van fleet is the best choice. You can include tool insurance as a feature, so if your van is broken into, any equipment lost can be replaced quickly

Suggested Features for Fleet Insurance

Fleet cover can be as comprehensive as your business needs. The minimum level required by law is third party only (TPO), however with a fleet it is advisable to have your fleet insurance policy cover a number of other elements.

Fleet Insurance Any Driver

Some fleets are driven by different drivers every day. In this case, you should have any driver cover. This means that any one of the vehicles in your fleet can be driven by any one of your drivers whilst still enjoying the same levels of cover. Bear in mind that many insurers require drivers to be over the age of 25 and with clean licenses in order to issue any driver policies.

Public Liability Insurance

Drivers are faced with many risks on the road. From other vehicles, to pedestrians, to bad weather, there are any number of things that can affect your ability to drive safely. These risks are magnified when dealing with a fleet. Public liability insurance for your fleet will cover any costs associated with third party claims.

Replacement Vehicle Cover

Losing the use of just one vehicle in your fleet can significantly affect the efficacy of your business. One van could be the equivalent of many ‘jobs’, which leads to financial losses if they cannot be completed. Having replacement vehicle cover means the cost of a courtesy car or van will be covered, meaning you can keep your business running while repairs are being carried out.

Common Fleet Policy Exclusions

  • Theft of a vehicle left unattended
  • Theft by deception
  • Mechanical breakdown
  • Tyre replacements
  • No claims discount

For large fleets, maintaining a zero claims record is challenging, especially when you factor in all the different drivers and vehicles. Instead, insurers may offer a ‘claims cost’, where they add up the cost of your claims over a fixed period (e.g. one year). The lower your claims are, the greater the discount applied to your  premium.
