Many people ask "How do I
save money on my truck fleet insurance ?" without realising
the majority of tasks to save on monthly premiums can be initiated
by themselves. More security, CCTV, guards, dogs, night lighting
with floodlights, secure parking areas, additional locks on lorries
with verification. Better management of the fleet, preventative
maintenance, driver training, software that monitors driving
ability, routes and mileage. Most insurers today provide
telematics, dashboard cams and trade software to help track your
business activity. All of these help drive down costs. Why? Because
not only is your fleet of haulage vehicles more secure but there
will be records of any accidents and crashes. With which your
dedicated legal team can easily defend your when in the right and

A motor trade insurance policy is tailor made
which means there are many different ways each policy document can
be created. You might ponder these and try to figure out where you
can cut corners financially. For instance. Can you add more than
one vehicle type to a policy or is named driver cheaper than any driver on a fleet
truck insurance policy? As a fleet manager, owner drive or
business director it's your choice which route you take. From a
business owner's perspective it might be better to outsource
drivers and trucks and relieve yourself of insurance
responsibilities past that of the cargo and Goods in Transit.
However clients like trust and an insurance policy which enables
the company to back it up in a timely manner.
With regards adding other vehicles, yes you can - as long as they
are business related. When you compare named driver additions to
allowing any driver. Adding named drivers may cost slightly more,
allowing any driver means they are only covered for third party
cover, naturally a lesser insurance that you might like. Named does
not mean your insurance premiums will be hiked prohibitively so. It
just means you're in a clearer area of insurance responsibility. A
named driver, with all details known by an insurer is a better
place to be when it comes to claims and provision for premiums.
There is more risk for an insurer if it is any driver but the
driver himself will be insured.
One item to be wary of however is the No Claims Bonuses that your
company may rely on being pooled. Not all insurers allow NCBs for
named drivers as they are not independent insurance policy holders
- some do and it's worth researching. Named drivers is possibly
more expensive than a single driver to cover but less than any
driver. In the event of a claim, named driver may be more straight
forward also, depending on where the blame is apportioned. Any
named driver receives exactly the same coverage as the single
driver or company. find more help

driver cheaper than any driver on a fleet truck & haulage

There are many different circumstances in which
lorry fleet insurance can be purchased. The main reason however is
to cover the daily grind which your company faces. Be that driver
accidents and care, haulage vehicle parts replacement, breakdown
and accidents. Or any other policy built in to cover tools,
machinery, cargo and goods transported or visitors. We tailor each
document to provide the correct sums value insurance for each of
the above, and a percentage of that goes towards public liability
and indemnity insurance, should you carry out work on your own or
other third party vehicles. What is not always as clear, is "Can I
add any vehicle to my lorry fleet insurance policy." Yes and
no.
A truck fleet & haulage vehicles insurance premium tends to
only cover business related activities. It's not the same as
general motor trade insurance whereby you may be a part time
mechanic and also drive the same vehicle laden with tools, to
events or locations that are not business related. i.e. taking your
children to school in a 7.5 tonne skip lorry. It also comes down to
the way the policy particulars are worded. For instance you may be
a named driver and therefore covered to drive any vehicle, which
may be private or only business. Or you may simply have certain
vehicles owned by the company insured against all road risks, fire
and theft. In which case another vehicle, owned by someone else may
not be eligible.
Because the situation surrounding other vehicle, either private or
business related can be a little cloudy. It's always advisable to
call one of our specialist brokers or the 24 hour help line for
assistance. We will endeavour to resolve the issues within minutes.

already covered or that you will need to change the policy to multi
type or a n other. See
more questions and answers from a haulage specialist Can I
add any vehicle to my lorry fleet insurance policy is not a silly
question. In fact, if a lorry breaks down and needs repairs and you

one of your own drivers, it can get confusing. If you need
reassurance before you buy, ring for a comparative quote or to get

When you're dealing with one of the motor trade
industry's leading truck fleet insurance providers, you expect
clear cut answers. Many of our competitors will point blank tell
you that they will only provide Provide insurance drivers
that are 25 years of age or older. So whats the best age.
So what's the minimum age on a truck fleet insurance quote arranged
by our specialist brokers? Believe it or not, we can get your motor
trade business, your trucks on the road and insurance cover set up

proven and other policy particular credentials met. These costs can
often be brought down in line with an insurance policy for truck
& haulage vehicle fleets which is more average.
By far the most favourite age group to insure is those between the
age of thirty and forty five. Indeed, it goes with any industry
that this age group is just old enough to know enough and not old
enough to be forgetting or becoming stuck in their ways. With
children now able to learn to drive in a more public manner, from
age ten upward. It should be no surprise that some when they hit
age 17, area ready to take their hobby and interest to the next
level and into business and the motor trade. In fact,we are very
supportive of younger people coming into the motor trade industry.

asking "What's the minimum age on a truck & haulage vehicle
fleet insurance quote if I drive in Europe?" We don't expect rules
to change that much after leaving the EU. In fact, vehicle law has
pretty much been passed to the UK and upgraded via the EU. In all
likelihood most laws on the statute books will retain the majority
of motor trade law, simply because it works and has been accepted
for the past decade. If you're 17 give us a call. If you're 16
