In the UK, fleet insurance is the most affordable way to provide the best levels of cover on your fleet of cars, vans or other motor vehicles. When you have several vehicles on the road, you need the best premium available without compromising cover and personal service that private car insurance policies can give you. Keeping your incident occurrence low can involve a proactive program that you undertake on your own, however.
As tradesmen or corporations that have many vehicles on the road to service machinery and equipment or make deliveries, you are exposed to potential lawsuits every time somebody sees your name on the side of a van or every time one of your salespeople aren’t paying attention on the road.
Having adequate cover for multiple commercial vehicles can mean the difference in losing your company to a large settlement from an injury accident and having the coverage that is adequate to cover your employees and your assets when they are travelling in one of your company vehicles. Their awareness and safety training can make a difference in your UK fleet insurance premiums.
Recently in the news, United Utilities Operational Services, the largest utility service provider in the UK, announced that they had cut their incidents by a third. With 1700 vehicles in their fleet and an additional 1800 employees that drive their own vehicles, they saw incident frequency cut from 55% to 34% and repair costs have been cut, as well.
They credit safety training, self-risk assessment and better management of their fleet drivers as the reason for this decrease. With sound safety practices and accident prevention training, you can raise your employees’ awareness and lower your insurance premiums and repair bills to your vehicles, while enjoying reduced insurance deductible premiums.
