Whether it is insurance for a coach or insurance for a fleet of coaches it should not be an issue. September is the deadline for coach drivers to have their PCP training done by … so if you have this done already then great getting an insurance quote should not be to difficult. They are saying a lot of coach drivers are waiting until the last minute hoping this training will go away … but it won’t.. The date is fast approaching so get it done now before there is a rush.
A lot of insurers are offering discounts for Coach Firms who have already done the training, which is a huge benefit to large fleets of coaches as it saves 1000’s in premium.
Not only are the PCP giving discounts for training already done but they are also giving discounts for good claims histories which hopefully should be looking better this year, as there has been a huge clampdown on fraudulent claims, i.e. personal injury. You think about it … almost 1 in 3 claims results in an injury claim … well this will change now the new ruling is (as of the 1st April 2013 out there which means the majority of these farcical claims will not be paid) which will in turn mean better claims history for companies that have fleet insurance and in turn will mean a good drop in premiums.
So with the PCP training and hopefully the cost of claims coming down, Coach Fleets can start to expect to run at a decent cost. Whether it is insurance for a single coach or insurance for a fleet of coaches there are a lot more providers now willing to quote, allowing you more options and meaning you don’t need to stick with the same provider.
