What is motor fleet insurance?
Either on your premises or out on the road, your vehicles are susceptible to damage. Be it due to a traffic collision, accidental damage, theft or criminal damage, anything that puts one of your fleet out of action – especially if your ability to trade depends on it – can be a big problem.
Motor fleet insurance cover can be split in to five main areas:
- Standard commercial motor fleet: for businesses that have a fleet of vehicles to lease internally to nominated staff, primarily for business-related travel.
- Credit hire: for businesses that lease replacement vehicles to people that have been involved in an accident.
- Haulage insurance: for businesses with a fleet of delivery vehicles that transport goods.
- Private collections: for individuals with a personal collection of vehicles that they want to protect.
- Self-drive hire: for businesses that lease vehicles to people that need them for other purposes, e.g for use on holiday to get around or renting a van to help them move house.
Why is motor fleet insurance so important?
Aside from the fact that motor insurance is one of only two compulsory insurance types in the UK, as a business that relies on a fleet of vehicles to trade to the best of their ability, it’s crucial to make sure you’re covered, should one or more of your fleet be put out of action. Here at NFP, our motor fleet insurance team can source motor fleet insurance that can help you cover costs, including:
- Paying for repairs or replacement of your own vehicles
- Paying for repairs or replacement of a third-party’s vehicles
- Securing a temporary replacement while your vehicle is being repaired, so your business doesn’t miss out on income
- Paying for medical expenses and psychological support
