McCarron Coates joins van fleet security specialist on new insurance offering

Broker McCarron Coates has teamed up with van fleet security and compliance specialist HH Driveright to create an insurance offering for fleets.

The pair aims to help fleet managers take better control of their risk management and insurance premiums by using McCarron Coates’ insurer contacts and HH Driveright’s risk management tools.

It will also enable users of HH Driveright’s driver behaviour analysis technology and claims management reporting systems to access insurance discounts.

McCarron Coates will offer quotes for the likes of both flat-rate and usage-based policies when arranging cover.

Reducing claims ‘hassle’

Ian McCarron, director at McCarron Coates, said: “As a fleet broking specialist, we firmly believe that incorporating HH Driveright’s various technological solutions into a risk management programme can have a tangible positive impact on risk, help lower claims and greatly enhance compliance.

“By presenting all of the evidence to our insurer partners, we can help reward those who use HH Driveright’s products and services.

“We believe this is something any courier or general van fleet should consider because it not only offers access to highly competitive premiums but requires the insured to have the solutions in place that improve their risk.

“Fleets should remember that, as well as keeping insurance costs under better control, this reduces the hassle surrounding claims, managing vehicle repairs and having vehicles off the road.”

Meanwhile, HH Driveright managing director Rebecca Hall said: “We are delighted to be able to directly influence insurance quotations through our HH Driveright products.

“This not only assists fleets’ operations but also demonstrates our solutions are on-point for those seeking to improve their claims experience and customer satisfaction levels.

“They can provide fleets with a truly holistic approach to both risk management and compliance, making them safer and better-run operations.”
