Why Compare Company Fleet Insurance?
Perk Cars Covered Right
A pool of company cars used for work and home life rarely fits a basic quote. Clean Green Cars introduces you to specialist brokers who price perk fleets properly.
Grey Fleet Not Forgotten
Staff driving their own cars on business is a risk many firms miss entirely. Clean Green Cars introduces you to specialist brokers who can address grey fleet exposure too.
Renewals Off Your Desk
Tracking renewals across a changing car list drains HR time. Clean Green Cars introduces you to specialist brokers whose schedules flex as staff join and leave.
Company Fleet Insurance At A Glance
- One policy covers a pool of company cars on a single renewal date.
- Specialist brokers can arrange any-driver terms so staff swap perk cars without rebooking.
- Business and ordinary private use by employees can be declared and covered.
- Grey fleet exposure, where staff use their own cars for work, can be reviewed too.

How Fleet Cover Works
Use Class
Cover spans business use and ordinary private use by the employee, not just commuting.
Driver Turnover
Staff join and leave, so any-driver terms often suit a changing list better than named drivers.
Grey Fleet
Staff using their own cars for work is a separate exposure the wider fleet insurance range can address, and those drivers usually need business use on their own car insurance.
Pool Sharing
One car used by several employees needs cover that does not assume a single keeper. A handful of cars can start as small fleet insurance.
Setting Up Your Fleet Policy
Car And Driver List - List every company car with value and the employees who drive it. Clear detail helps specialist brokers match the fleet to the right markets.
Driver Profiles - Provide ages, licences and any convictions. Most company fleet policies set a minimum driver age of 21, often 25 for broad any-driver terms (ABI, as at 2026).
Grey Fleet Picture - Note how many staff drive their own cars for work. Trade-style mixed fleets are covered under commercial fleet insurance instead.
Cover Levels Explained
Pick the lowest cover level and one written-off perk car could leave an employee without transport mid-role. Here's what each level could include.
| Feature | Comprehensive | Third Party, Fire & Theft | Third Party Only |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accidental damage to company cars | Included | Not included | Not included |
| Fire and theft of insured vehicles | Included | Included | Not included |
| Injury or damage to third parties | Included | Included | Included |
| Any-driver or named-driver basis | Optional | Optional | Optional |
| Business and private use by employee | Optional | Optional | Optional |
| Windscreen and glass cover | Often included | Sometimes | Not included |
| Replacement vehicle while off road | Optional | Optional | Not included |
| Breakdown and recovery | Add-on | Add-on | Add-on |
Please note that policy features, benefits, terms and conditions vary among insurance providers, so always check the policy wording.
Cover Tip: When a sales executive's £40,000 perk BMW is also the family second car at weekends, confirm the policy covers ordinary private use by the employee, not business use alone. That single declaration is where company-car claims most often fail.
What May Not Be Covered
A single exclusion can leave a grey fleet collision sitting on an employee's personal policy. Here's what a company fleet policy usually may not include.
Standard Exclusions
- Undeclared drivers - A claim may be declined where the employee sat outside the agreed driver basis or age terms.
- Wrong use class - Private use of a perk car when only business use was declared may not be covered.
- Unroadworthy vehicles - A claim is likely to be declined where a company car was not kept roadworthy.
Important Limitations
- Grey fleet vehicles - Staff-owned cars driven for work are not on the company schedule and need separate cover.
- Lapsed database entry - Failing to keep the Motor Insurance Database current can cause problems at claim time.
Extras Worth Considering
Skip the wrong extra and a perk car off the road could strand a key employee. Here's what's worth considering.
May help keep an employee mobile by providing a like-for-like car while a perk car is off the road.
May be needed if a roadside failure could leave a staff member stranded between sites.
May be worth arranging so staff using their own cars for work are not relying on social-only cover.
May help cover the shortfall between a payout and replacing a written-off perk car.
What Affects The Cost?
Underdeclare perk-car private use or your driver list and a future claim could be cut for misrepresentation. Here's what shapes the price.
| Key Factor | Impact on Your Price |
|---|---|
| Car values and mix | Higher-value perk cars and a wider mix typically raise the premium across the fleet. |
| Driver ages and turnover | Younger staff and frequent driver changes usually push an any-driver price up. |
| Business mileage | High-mileage role cars tend to cost more than perk cars that mostly sit on a drive. |
| Claims history | Three to five years of fleet claims shape your terms. A clean record often eases renewal. |
| Use class declared | Business plus private use costs more than business-only, but matches how perk cars are used. |
| Grey fleet handling | Leaving grey fleet uncosted is a hidden exposure rather than a saving. |
The quotes you get will depend on your own details, the cars on the schedule and your fleet claims record. For context, the ABI average UK private comprehensive motor premium was around £589 (ABI, Q1 2025), and HMRC recorded about 720,000 company car benefit recipients (HMRC, tax year 2021-22).
Price Insight: A sales fleet doing 25,000 business miles a year prices very differently to perk cars that mostly sit on a drive. Splitting high-mileage role cars from low-mileage perk cars on the schedule often sharpens the quote.
Ways To Cut Your Premium
Renew on autopilot and a company car fleet can quietly pay hundreds more per car than a fresh comparison. Here's how to cut that back.
Cost The Grey Fleet
Reviewing staff-owned work driving often removes a hidden liability rather than adding cost.
Split By Mileage
Separating high-mileage role cars from low-mileage perk cars on the schedule can sharpen the quote.
Raise The Voluntary Excess
A higher voluntary excess can lower the premium, but keep it to a level the business could absorb per car.
Consolidate Renewals
Moving every company car onto one date avoids duplicate policies and gives brokers a clearer risk.
Keep Driver Data Tidy
Accurate driver and claims data prevents loadings that come from cautious assumptions.
Saving Tip: Bring grey fleet into the conversation rather than leaving it uncosted. A firm that moves ten regular grey fleet drivers onto pool cars often removes a hidden duty-of-care liability and tightens the schedule the broker prices, rather than carrying both.

What Our Expert Says
Company fleets have a blind spot. It's rarely the cars on the schedule.
The cars a firm owns usually get insured carefully. The exposure that bites is grey fleet, where an employee drives a private car on company business and the firm assumes the employee's own policy and a duty of care are the same thing. They are not. A common pattern is a manager doing client visits in a 12-year-old car with social-only cover, then an at-fault collision landing the firm's risk manager in a difficult conversation. Keeping the Motor Insurance Database current covers owned cars, but it does nothing for the grey fleet the policy never saw.
Insure what staff actually drive for you. The schedule is only half the picture.

Common Questions
Does Company Fleet Cover Include Private Use?
Usually as an option. A perk car policy can cover ordinary private use by the employee, against an ABI average private motor premium of around £589 (ABI, Q1 2025).
What Is Grey Fleet And Is It Covered?
Grey fleet is staff driving their own cars for work. An industry estimate puts around 14 million such vehicles in UK use (BVRLA / Energy Saving Trust estimate), and they are not on a company fleet schedule.
Can Several Staff Share One Company Car?
Yes. A pool car shared by several employees can be insured on any-driver terms, usually with a minimum driver age of 21 or 25 (ABI, as at 2026).
How Many Cars Make A Company Fleet?
No legal minimum exists, but most insurers treat five or more vehicles as a fleet. Specialist brokers often arrange company fleet cover from as few as two cars.
Are Company Car Drivers' Convictions A Problem?
They typically raise the premium. A driver with a conviction on a high-value perk car usually loads the price more than a clean licence (ABI, as at 2026).
Who Insures A Grey Fleet Driver In A Crash?
The employee's own motor policy responds first, but the firm's duty of care still applies. About 720,000 company car benefit recipients exist (HMRC, 2021-22) alongside grey fleet drivers.
Can We Add And Remove Cars MID-Term?
Usually yes. As staff join or leave, most company fleet policies adjust the schedule without a new contract, with the premium changed pro rata or at renewal.
