How Many Vehicles Will Fleet Insurance Cover?

-->

When you are in a business where you have a number of vehicles, fleet insurance may be the answer you are looking for to save money, cover all your vehicles in one policy making it easier to manage.

This type of cover is designed for all vehicles, so you don't have to have a number of cars or a number of vans, you can put all your vehicles into one policy from motor cycles to trucks. This is one of the many reasons this type of policy is so advantageous to so many businesses.

Is This Cover Right For Me

This type of policy is designed for all businesses that have a number of vehicles, some brokers cover from three or more vehicles while others do five or more vehicles, there is no maximum amount, you can have thirty or forty vehicles owned by your business all safe guarded by one handy policy.

The advantage is that there is only one policy. This means one premium and one phone number to call in the event of an accident, what's more there is only one renewal to worry about.

The biggest mistake companies make it shopping around every time they purchase a new vehicle, leaving a number of vehicles all on different policies. This is when the problems start. It becomes a nightmare for bookkeepers that need to try and take note of when premiums are due and when renewals are due, which can often leave you in a situation where you have one or more vehicles uninsured, not legal or safe when driving on the UK roads.

The best thing about this type of cover is that because you can place all your vehicles on one policy in the event of an accident there is only one phone number to call and one claims process to go through. This can save a lot of time and energy and doesn't leave you digging through paperwork trying to determine what car is covered by what company.

Add your own private vehicles to the policy, remember you can add anything from motor cycles to cars and vans to trucks, there is no limit to the number of vehicles you can add and it works out cheaper in the long run. If you were to have a separate policy for each vehicle you will end up paying a much higher amount in premiums than having all your vehicles under one easy to manage policy.

So to answer the question on how many vehicles you can cover by fleet insurance, the answer is that there is no limit, put all your vehicles into one easy to manage policy and enjoy the peace of mind that they are protected every time they pull out onto the road.

If you run a cab business whether you work in the city or in a quiet village, you must get yourself covered with taxi insurance. This is a legal requirement in the UK and the mistake many cab owners make is believing that a private auto policy will protect them and their customer in the event of an accident.

If you offer the service to transport customers from one destination to another and you are doing so under a private auto policy, should you be involved in an accident, not only will your vehicle not be covered, but neither will your customers. This is a shocking truth that many cab companies overlook, but a private auto insurance only enables you to use a vehicle for private use, the minute you use it for business, your policy is null and void and you are left in serious financial trouble.

These policies are specifically designed for your industry. Besides being a legal requirement they are a necessity to ensure your business doesn't end up with a large financial bill which you cannot pay.

Your policy should cover your vehicle or vehicles comprehensively. This means that any damage caused to third party vehicles or property is covered along with repairs or replacement of your own vehicle.


The policy should also protect you in the event of an accident, this can include additional loss of income, which pays you out for the time you are unable to work. This may be while you wait for repairs to be carried out or if you need time to recover before returning to work. Loss of income is a wonderful cover to have, it ensures that you can continue to pay bills even while you are unable to work. This means your business can continue moving forward even without you behind the wheel.

Then there are your customers and you need to ensure you are covered to take them where they want to go. In the event of an accident whether it was your fault or not, you are responsible for protecting your clients. So public liability cover is essential to the daily running of your business and your policy can protect you against any claims laid against you for loss of income, medical expenses or mental distress.

What you will notice is that if you run your company in the city you will have a higher premium than the cab companies that run in the quiet countryside. This is due to the fact that your risk of having an accident in the city is increased as there are more vehicles on the roads. Always double check any taxi insurance policy to ensure that your entire business is covered and that it offers you the best protection when you get in your vehicle each morning.
