What other types of fleet insurance do we offer?
As well as mini fleet insurance we can also provide;
- Any driver fleet insurance - Having an any driver fleet insurance would mean you would have more freedom with your policy. You would have a choice between any driver over 21, 25 or 30. If you have an any driver over 30 policy for example, any person over the age of 30 can drive your vehicles, so you would not need to constantly contact your insurance to change your drivers, if this is something that happens often.
- Named driver fleet insurance - This means you do need to list the drivers who you want on your policy. This can be beneficial and possibly save you money if the drivers you have stays fairly consistent.
- Large fleet insurance - Maybe you have more than 5 vehicles you need insuring. You can still cover all these vehicles under one policy with large fleet insurance.
What levels of cover are available?
Like most vehicle insurance, you can choose 3 different levels of cover for your mini fleet policy, which are;
- Comprehensive - This is the highest level of cover you can get for mini fleet insurance, this will cover you for claims during an accident whether it was your fault or not.
- Third party, fire and theft - This will cover you for non-fault accidents, as well as fire damage and theft.
- Third party - This would usually be the cheapest level of cover but would still protect you against any claims occurring from a non-fault accident.
How to help lower your premiums for mini fleet insurance
The price you are offered for insurance is not completely out of your control, there are things you can do to that may find you cheaper mini fleet insurance;
- Add more security to your vehicles - If there are ways you can reduce the risk of your vehicles being stolen you should do this, as it will look like a better risk to insurers, which then may reduce the price. If for example you can park your cars in a locked compound, this would be better than keeping them on a public road.
- Do put more named drivers on the policy than necessary - Named driver policies would usually be less expensive than any driver policies, but you should only name what’s needed.
