As companies grow and begin to improve their facilities, many opt to establish a company fleet of vehicles to project a united and professional image and ease travel and commuting for their employees. But, as trying to individually insure these cars or trucks and the employees that will be driving them can prove time consuming, expensive and complicated, many auto insurance companies are moving to offer businesses one time blanket policies, or company vehicle insurance.
This type of fleet insurance can be instantly applied to an entire group of company vehicles, often from just a handful of cars to several dozen. Businesses that operate their own fleets seem to be warming to this trend, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
Insurers offering this type of blanket coverage use several incentives to win over customers. Some of these include temporary replacement vehicles provided to their clients while their normal cars or trucks are undergoing approved service. This is one example of the way in which clever insurers are expanding their typical insurance services to secure their clients’ loyalty. Another benefit to buying fleet insurance at the corporate level is that some insurers offer these policies at a flat price regardless of the varying license restrictions some employees might have. This is another way in which insurers are moving to streamline the process for businesses trying to get their fleet on the road.
In a final move to appeal to a wide range of large and small companies, insurers offering these kinds of policies will insure not only normal commuter cars or work trucks, but also motorcycles and sports cars. This should appeal to companies that reserve nicer rides for their top clients but are wary of trying to find individual insurance policies to cover these assets. Overall, this insurance trend seems poised to capture a large part of the market.
