Tailored Fleet Insurance for Cars, Vans and Trucks
Rowlands & Hames manages a significant number of motor fleet insurance policies from small ‘mini-fleets’ with between 2 and 10 vehicles to ‘full fleets’ with 10 or more vehicles, often into the hundreds of vehicles.
We have relationships with all the major fleet insurers, plus access to all Lloyd’s of London underwriters and syndicates.
With one renewal date, a single motor fleet Insurance policy covering all vehicles owned by a business or organisation makes both administrative and economic sense.
Insurers generally provide motor fleet insurance cover for virtually any vehicle in your possession, and any vehicle combination. Cars and vans plus trucks. No problem!
You can choose between Comprehensive, Third Party Fire and Theft and Third Party Only cover vehicle by vehicle, to suit your individual business needs.
Driving under a motor fleet insurance policy is usually on an ‘any driver with the policyholder’s permission’ basis which may stops you from having to restrict a younger driver to just one vehicle in order to save premiums.
Competitive pricing
If you are seeking a competitive commercial fleet premium for a private car fleet or commercial vehicle fleet, or a combination of both, Rowlands & Hames’ experienced team will review your fleet insurance history and approach multiple insurers with supporting background history, claims experiences and up to date risk management information.
We can arrange for you to move from a ‘no claims bonus’ rated multiple vehicle policy to a Fleets and Haulage Insurance – a fleet insurance can be much easier to manage and is generally more competitive. The ability to add/delete vehicles at any time and include temporary additional vehicles are major advantages, plus of course the ‘any driver’ basis.
Claims
With motor fleets and haulage insurance, we proactively manage any client’s motor fleet claims, our priority always being to return your vehicles to the road as soon as possible and to assist in the defence of any third party claims.
Through our relationship with BD Elite, a reputable accident management firm, our clients with Motor Fleet Insurance benefit from 7 day per week / 24hour claims reporting, emergency hire car availability and personal injury solicitors.
Motor Fleet Insurance Premiums remain very competitive with only one or two insurers seeking general increases for existing business – insurers can be very competitive when it comes to Motor Fleet Insurance new business enquiries.
Your questions answered
What fleet cover can I purchase?
Comprehensive is generally covered but any combination of comprehensive, third party fire and theft, or third party only can be arranged.

The insurers were slow to make the payment once the claim settlement had been agreed. Our claims manager Colin chased this on our behalf. The service from Colin was wonderful, he communicated clearly and often and I really felt he was looking after our clam. Colin made the whole process quick and easy and took the stress out of it for us to thank you!
I would like to take this opportunity to commend one of your staff: Mike Watkinson.
This is customer service at its finest and Mike is surely a valuable and valued member of your staff.

Following a dispute with an insurer over temporary unoccupancy… “It’s today’s actions that will determine which and how companies come out of this. You have been brilliant and show the true value of having a broker. Catch up soon. Thanks
My associations with Rowlands & Hames goes back 20 years or so. I have always found them exemplary in any advice, claims etc. We recently had what we considered to be a potentially difficult public liability claim with a major client of ours but this was soon successfully concluded by John Isles and his very efficient team. I am extremely pleased with our involvement with this company.
I’ve always had great service from Rowlands Hames so would be happy to ask you for help with other insurances as they come up for renewal.
Many thanks for your assistance, you’ve been first class as always this is why we use professionals like yourselves.
great CSR to help us get our insurances ready for our first 6 employees starting next week
Many thanks to you for your support throughout the claim process. The true value of having a Broker is realised when a claim occurs.
I am grateful and very impressed with the care and understanding R&H’s claims team have shown throughout a stressful and difficult time for me. I got my Fiat Panda back today, all sparkly and repaired; without your excellent handling of my claim, the last few months would have been so much worse as I have recovered from my injury. I have been a customer of yours since Andrew Dalby days and your company has never let me down.
