How can I check my grey fleet drivers have valid insurance?

Third party insurance checking services

Employers are responsible for checking that their grey fleet drivers have a valid insurance to cover them driving for work purposes. Unfortunately, a significant number of drivers and the businesses they work for fail to check that the appropriate cover is in place.

It is a legal requirement for any grey fleet vehicle to be verified roadworthy and legal by the driver’s employer.

Some businesses choose to use a third-party checking service to ensure their drivers have a valid insurance. This can help to save valuable administration time.

5 benefits of using a third-party provider

1. Offer additional services, such as checking or flagging penalty points.
2. Retain data on a central system for repeat use.
3. Set up online systems to recheck licenses at an agreed frequency.
4. Provide an online audit trail to demonstrate your company’s duty of care.
5. Ensure compliance, giving you peace of mind.
