Five Fleet Risk Controls Insurers Want to See

Fleet insurers look for evidence that risk is actively managed rather than left entirely to individual drivers.

1. Licence and eligibility checks

Check licences at recruitment and regularly thereafter, with higher-frequency checks for higher-risk drivers.

2. Clear driving policies

Document expectations on mobile phones, speed, fatigue, vehicle use, collisions and reporting.

3. Vehicle maintenance

Use planned inspections, defect reporting and prompt repairs supported by records.

4. Review Every Fleet Incident

Investigate collisions and near misses to identify preventable causes.

5. Management information

Track claim frequency, cost, driver trends, vehicle type and location.
