Two-wheelers are such a common mode of transportation these days, that everyone has at least one two-wheelers.
Buying a new vehicle, be it a car for your personal use or another vehicle for your business, is always exciting and joyous.
However, if you run a business with multiple vehicles, it becomes essential to insure those vehicles. After all, being prepared for the future is always a good thing. If you have a business that requires more than two vehicles, then motor fleet insurance is what you should take out. Whether your fleet includes heavy goods vehicles, commercial vehicles, cars, or a mix, Policywings can cater to all your needs regarding motor fleet insurance. Read on to learn A to Z about motor fleet insurance.
Motor fleet insurance is a type of insurance policy that covers all the vehicles in a fleet. So, instead of insuring individual vehicles in your business, you can save lakhs and get a comprehensive, bespoke fleet insurance policy instead. This way, fleet insurance will not only save your business money but also give you flexibility and more control when it comes to insuring your vehicles. By insuring your vehicles under one motor fleet insurance policy, you can save a lot of time and concentrate more on other important areas of your business.
Motor fleet insurance policies come in different types to suit the coverage needs of your business fleet.

Fleet owners can save significantly on premiums by maintaining a good claims history and installing GPS tracking in all vehicles. Many insurers offer 15-25% bulk discounts for fleets of 10+ vehicles. Also, ensure all drivers have valid licences and undergo regular training, as claims from unlicensed drivers are always rejected.
