Self Drive Hire Insurance

All self drive hire policies are different so it is difficult to advise on price. However, the main factors include the type of vehicle involved, the value of the rental vehicles, the area of the country in which your operation is based, and the claims history of the business. Named drivers points and claims will also affect premiums and excesses. Insurance is valid while the vehicle is under a rental contract.

Car hire fleet insurance is a specialised insurance policy designed to cover multiple vehicles that are rented out to customers. A fleet policy allows you to insure multiple vehicles and drivers under one policy, simplifying administration. At Jensten Insurance Brokers, we understand that operating a car hire business comes with unique risks, and the car hire fleet insurance we arrange aims to protect the fleet during the hire period and beyond, giving you peace of mind and meeting your legal requirements. All vehicles must be insured to meet legal requirements.

Insuring multiple vehicles is often done under a single fleet policy, which allows you to cover all your vehicles and drivers together. This approach streamlines administration, simplifies legal compliance, and can offer cost savings compared to insuring each vehicle individually. We can arrange self drive hire cover if you have five or more vehicles.

When you rent cars to customers, you must ensure that all vehicles are properly insured, drivers meet eligibility requirements (such as age and driving history), and all legal obligations are fulfilled. Insurance considerations should include coverage during the rental contract period and protection against risks associated with hired vehicles.

Most self drive hire insurance policies, especially pay-as-you-go plans, do not allow for the accumulation of a no claims bonus. This is a key difference from standard motor insurance policies.
