Frequently asked questions

What is connected fleet insurance?

Connected fleet insurance is a data-driven approach to insuring fleets; it leverages telematics technology to potentially offer more cost-effective coverage for your fleet. It involves the use of a fleet’s telematics data to assess risks and monitor driver behaviour, which is why it is sometimes also referred to as fleet telematics insurance.

How does connected fleet insurance work?

This type of insurance uses data from your fleet’s telematics systems to analyse driving patterns, vehicle usage, and safety metrics. Premiums are then based on the actual usage and risk profile of your fleet, potentially leading to savings and incentives for safer driving.

The main benefits are potential cost savings, as premiums are based on actual fleet usage and safety records. Because, at its essence, it utilises fleet telematics data, it also encourages safer driving through feedback and incentives, provides insights into fleet operations, and simplifies the management of insurance policies. Flock can also reward safer fleets with up to a 10% premium annual rebate.

Can connected fleet insurance reduce my fleet's operating costs?

By providing incentives for safer driving, therefore reducing risk, fleet telematics insurance can potentially lead to reduced operating costs. Additionally, the data provided can help fleet managers optimise their operations.

Is connected fleet insurance suitable for all types of fleets?

What is meant by ‘telematics technology’?

The term ‘telematics technology’ simply refers to an electronic device that is fitted to a vehicle and monitors certain driver behaviours. The device (sometimes referred to as a ‘black box’) can track a vehicle’s speed, cornering, braking, idling and more — the resulting data can be used diagnostically to determine a driver’s overall conduct on the road.
