Overview of fleet insurance

Fleet insurance is a crucial policy for businesses that operate multiple vehicles. It offers comprehensive coverage, allowing companies to insure all  vehicles under a single policy. This not only simplifies management but also often results in cost savings.

In Ireland, Fleet insurance is particularly important due to the diverse range of businesses relying on transportation. Whether you run a small courier service or a large logistics company, Fleet insurance provides the necessary protection against potential risks and liabilities.

What type of fleet insurance  do you need?

Selecting the right fleet insurance cover is essential for protecting your business vehicles and minimising costs. There are several types of fleet insurance policies available, each offering different levels of protection.

  • Fully comprehensive fleet insurance: It is ideal for businesses that want complete peace of mind and protection against all potential risks. It may come with a higher commercial fleet insurance cost, but the extensive coverage justifies the expense.
  • Third-party fire and theft fleet insurance: Third-party fire and theft insurance is a cost-effective option for businesses looking to balance protection and affordability. It’s particularly suitable for businesses with a lower risk of accidents but a higher concern for theft or fire.
  • Third-party only fleet insurance: The most basic level of coverage, third-party only insurance, covers damage to third parties only. It is the minimum legal requirement for operating business vehicles in Ireland.
  • Specialised fleet insurance: There are also specialised policies such as courier fleet insurance and haulage fleet insurance. Courier fleet insurance is tailored for businesses that deliver goods, offering protection against the unique risks faced by couriers. Haulage fleet insurance is designed for businesses involved in transporting heavy goods, providing coverage for both the vehicles and the goods they carry.
