Regular risk assessments help cut the cost of fleet insurance

Many fleet operators are shelling out more than they need to for insurance by failing to assess and cut risk levels.

We can reveal that a recent survey carried out by Tom Tom Business Solutions has discovered that two-fifths of firms have seen their fleet insurance premiums rise over the last year. This is linked to the fact that only 36% of firms monitor driver performance and 71% do not provide any regular training.

Although 81% of the fleet operators’ questioned in the survey reported work-related road safety appearing in their company handbook, only 57% conducted regular risk assessments.

Risk assessments are an extremely important factor in improving fleet driver safety and reducing the number of incidents they are involved in which is directly related to the cost of your insurance.

If you have experienced a lot of fault claims in the last couple of years then reviewing your current driver training process, measuring driving performance and providing support on managing fatigue are just a couple ways that could help improve your situation.
