Fleet insurance guide
How Claims History Affects Fleet Insurance
Insurers look beyond the total cost. Frequency, severity, circumstances, trends and corrective action all help shape the view of a fleet.
The story behind the figures matters
A claims experience may contain recoveries, open reserves, one-off events and recurring patterns. Cleaning the data and explaining material losses helps an insurer understand the current risk rather than relying on a headline total.
Evidence of improvement can strengthen a submission
Documented licence checks, camera installation, driver retraining, route changes, vehicle replacement and disciplinary procedures can show that the business has responded to loss trends.
Prepare a claims narrative

- Explain recurring causes
- Correct data errors early
- List recoveries and open claims
