If your business operates multiple vehicles – whether it’s 2 or 50 – insuring them individually might seem like the simplest option. After all, it’s what you’ve always done, right? But in reality, insuring each vehicle separately can drain your time, increase your costs, and complicate your business operations unnecessarily.

Fleet insurance is designed to simplify all of that. One policy. One renewal date. One point of contact. And usually, one big saving.

What Is Fleet Insurance and Who Needs It?

Fleet insurance covers multiple vehicles under a single policy, making it the perfect solution for businesses with several vehicles on the road. It doesn’t matter if your fleet is made up of cars, vans, trucks, or a combination—you get tailored cover that fits your unique business needs.

You can insure:

  • Company-owned vehicles of all types
  • Mixed fleets including cars, vans, and HGVs
  • Drivers of various ages and histories, including those with past claims

Whether you run a local courier service, a construction company, or a mobile catering business, fleet insurance can bring clarity and savings to your vehicle cover.

Why Insuring Vehicles Separately Is Costing You

Many business owners don’t realise the hidden downsides of individual policies:

  • Multiple renewal dates to manage — juggling payments and reminders for each vehicle is stressful and time-consuming.
  • Varied cover levels and excesses — different insurers and policies mean inconsistent protection.
  • Higher risk of accidental lapses — with multiple renewals, it’s easy to miss one, potentially leaving a vehicle uninsured.
  • Admin overload — handling separate documents, invoices, and claims drains resources that could be better spent growing your business.

Fleet insurance consolidates all your vehicles under one roof, meaning less paperwork, fewer renewal headaches, and a more straightforward claims process.

What Does Fleet Insurance Cover?

At Alternative Insurance Brokers, our fleet policies are designed to cover a wide range of needs, including:

  • Fully comprehensive, third-party, or fire & theft cover
  • Public liability and employer’s liability protection
  • Breakdown and legal expenses cover
  • Goods in transit insurance (crucial for delivery or logistics businesses)
  • Named driver or any-driver options based on your preference
  • Telematics or vehicle tracking integrations for better control and potentially lower premiums

The best part? We tailor your policy to fit your specific business requirements—no generic packages here.

Real-World Example: How Fleet Insurance Saves Time and Money

Imagine you run a delivery business with six vans. With individual policies, each van has its own renewal date, potentially spread across different months. One of your drivers has an accident, causing that van’s premium to increase, while the others remain unaffected.

Suddenly, you’re managing multiple policy changes, payments at different times, and increased premiums scattered across your fleet. It’s complicated—and costly.

With fleet insurance, all your vehicles share a single renewal date. Your risk is spread across the whole fleet, often preventing individual premium spikes. Claims are streamlined through one provider, so you spend less time sorting paperwork and more time focusing on your business.

Got a Mixed Fleet? No Problem

Many businesses run a mix of vehicles—cars for sales reps, vans for deliveries, and even heavy goods vehicles for transporting materials. You might think that means separate insurance policies, but it doesn’t.

Fleet insurance policies can cover mixed vehicle types on one plan, saving you from juggling multiple insurers. Just provide us with details about your vehicles, and we’ll build a policy that fits what you actually drive.

Why Choose Fleet Insurance Over Individual Policies?

Here’s why fleet insurance beats separate policies every time:

✅ Simplified management – One policy, one renewal, one point of contact.
✅ Cost efficiency – Bundling your vehicles often results in cheaper premiums overall.
✅ Better budgeting – Predictable costs with one payment cycle.
✅ Streamlined claims – One provider handles all your claims, no matter which vehicle is involved.
✅ Flexible coverage – Add or remove vehicles easily as your business changes.
✅ Enhanced safety options – Add telematics or tracking to monitor driver behaviour and reduce risks.
