Fleet Insurance
Fleet Insurance is part of our Commercial Insurance policies. Whether you own a taxi company, car rental service, or delivery service, if your business relies on multiple vehicles to complete your daily operations you can protect your interests with fleet insurance. A commercial fleet insurance policy can be far more affordable than insuring all of your vehicles individually.
What is Fleet Insurance?
What Vehicles are Covered by Fleet Insurance?
Typically, a minimum of two vehicles is required to be considered a fleet. You can cover a mixture of vehicles ranging from trucks, cars, and suvs to forklift trucks, excavators, and more. Additionally, a wide range of businesses and industries can benefit from fleet insurance, including transportation, hauling, courier, and more.
- Rent a car fleets
- Limousine fleets
- App-driven car fleets (i.e. Uber or Careem)
- Self-drive mobility (i.e. www.ekar.ae)
- Fleets for employee-issued sedans, trucks, etc.
- And more
Does Fleet Insurance Cover My Drivers?
Fleet insurance is an auto insurance policy that covers property damage for your fleet cars. However, depending on how your policy is written, standard commercial fleet insurance does not include coverage for your drivers. Typically, only fully comprehensive includes insurance coverage for the driver.
Depending on the type of policy you have, commercial fleet insurance can include a variety of coverage options.
- Employee liability coverage
- Trailer coverage
- Public liability and property damage
- Tools and goods in transit coverage
- Roadside assistance
- Fire and theft coverage
- Bodily injury
- And more

How Much Does Commercial Fleet Insurance Cost?
Fleet insurance can range in price depending on the type of fleet you own, your industry, how much coverage you need to protect your fleet, and the types of drivers for your fleet. When you apply for fleet insurance coverage, you’ll be asked a series of questions to help determine your premium, including and not limited to:
- How many vehicles are in your fleet?
- What types of vehicles do you want to insure (i.e. trucks, cars, motorcycles, etc.)?
- What business are you in?
- What condition are your vehicles in?
- How old are the vehicles in your fleet?
- How frequently are your vehicles used?
- Maintenance and tracking procedures?
- Any exterior stickers and paint?
- Leasing criteria?
- Where do you store your vehicles overnight?
- How old are your drivers (for comprehensive coverage only)?
- Do your drivers have good driving records (for comprehensive coverage only)?
