Zurich Motor Fleet Insurance

Zurich is recognised as an experienced market leader in motor fleet insurance. We offer a comprehensive motor fleet insurance product that allows you to customise the wording to your clients' specific business needs.

To obtain cover under Zurich's Motor Fleet insurance, there must be 15 or more vehicles generating a premium in excess of $15,000 prior to charges. For smaller fleets, we can still insure your clients under Zurich Motor Insurance.

Preferred Fleet Business

  • sedan / light commercial fleets where premium is $50,000 p.a. or more and where clients are receptive to risk control and claims management programs
  • limousine, hire car and chauffeur driven fleets (excluding rental fleets)
  • transport business (excluding refrigerated / livestock) comprising short and or medium haul, ie less than 600 km, including hazardous goods carrying vehicles and logging contractors, providing first-class risk management practices in place
  • mobile Contractors Plant and Equipment, ie:
    • earthmoving / roadworks / excavation / clearing / forestry (excluding "old growth" logging contractors)
    • heavy earthmoving equipment involved in the mining industry (excluding "soft rock" underground / offshore risks).
  • plant and equipment hire / rental fleets
  • any fleet (notwithstanding the above) which has been risk engineered and has attained an 'excellent' or 'good' grading and has a satisfactory claims history
  • customers requiring self insurance, under excess or aggregate deductible solutions.

Underwriting

We understand that every business is different and your clients will require customised wordings specific for their needs. To ensure we provide your clients with the best cover, all fleets are individually underwritten with a flexible approach. Our wordings can be tailored and various structures can be offered, such as Conventional, Claims Experience Discounts (CED), Burning Cost, Aggregate, and Claims Handling. Zurich Motor Fleet Insurance Questionnaires must be completed for all non sedan / light commercial fleets.
