Aviva and Zego to provide tailored fleet insurance

Aviva and Zego have entered a new partnership to provide tailored fleet policies to trades and haulage businesses.

The arrangement will pair Zego’s behavioural insight, data and telematics capabilities with Aviva’s experience and expertise in fleet underwriting and claims.

Usage based and flat rate policies will be available to trades and haulage fleets in the UK containing between five and 500 vehicles, via direct sales and brokers. Quotes can be received quickly and fleets powered by Zego will have access to the fleet portal - which allows fleet managers to add and remove drivers with the push of a button, easily monitor claims and receive around the clock, actionable insights, which if engaged with, can dramatically reduce premiums at renewal.

The collaboration brings a “fair and flexible approach” to fleet insurance, according to the two firms, that can “adapt to customers’ changing needs”.

Sten Saar, CEO at Zego, said: “It’s a privilege to be teaming up with Aviva, a company with so much heritage in the insurance industry. We are excited to bring our experience of insuring hundreds of fleets across tens of thousands of miles on a weekly basis.

“We believe this usage-based, data-led approach is the future of the insurance market and we are proud to be leading the way by partnering with Aviva to deliver this to trades and haulage customers.”

Maria Crockart, digital trading and automation director at Aviva, added: “Our partnership with Zego is a great example of how innovation can drive customer centricity, broker solutions and growth. Working with Zego builds on our telematics knowledge with a partner who has a proven track record using data and analytics. We look forward to developing tailored propositions aligned to customer usage and we anticipate that the relationship will broaden to include other insurance products in the future.”
