What is Commercial Fleet Insurance?

Commercial fleet insurance allows businesses to insure multiple vehicles under a coordinated insurance arrangement, helping simplify the administration and management of their motor insurance.

A fleet can include different types of vehicles, from passenger cars and utes to vans, trucks and other commercial vehicles. The right insurance structure will depend on the size and makeup of your fleet, how the vehicles are used and who drives them.

Surety Risk Solutions takes the time to understand your fleet, drivers, claims history and business operations before helping you arrange cover suited to the way your vehicles are actually used.

Protection Across Your Business Fleet

Managing multiple vehicles creates different risks from insuring a single vehicle. A well-structured fleet policy can provide consistent protection while making changes and ongoing administration easier to manage.

Accidental Damage

Comprehensive fleet insurance can provide cover for accidental loss or damage to insured vehicles, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy.

Theft

Cover can provide protection when an insured fleet vehicle is stolen or damaged as a result of an attempted theft.

Third Party Property Damage

Protection against certain legal liabilities for damage caused by insured vehicles to other people's vehicles or property.

Additional Fleet Benefits

Depending on the policy, benefits may include towing, replacement or hire vehicles, windscreen cover and other assistance following an insured event.
