The current cost of repairing a vehicle for the first time in many years, now outweighs the cost of a personal injury claim.

A combination of soaring prices for parts, post-Brexit, as well as the ongoing labour shortage, coupled with the complexity of modern vehicles, have significantly increased costs. This has also had the knock-on effect of extending the time a car can be off the road.

That’s before we factor in electric vehicles, which in some cases can require specialist repair centres, while their relative newness to the automotive market means insurers’ knowledge is still limited. As a result, some insurers are off setting their risk by applying a high compulsory excesses of up to £1,500, compared to the usual fleet policy of £500.

Help is available to avoid these eye-watering costs and prevent premiums from going through the roof. As an experienced fleet management provider, our team offers a bespoke service that will take care of your every need.

Should one of your fleet vehicles be involved in an accident, we can call on our network of trusted repair centres to quickly get the vehicle assessed and repaired. Whilst waiting to get you back on the road,  you will also be offered a suitable mobility solution.

Fleet operators often turn to using a Telematics Solution which can reduce risk whilst helping to identify the reasons for accidents. Although this can identify liability, having a robust insurance solution will also help.

One great way to keep spiraling repair costs under control is by having an Integrity Club 20 multi policy. Available for fleet managers with three levels of cover, services can include roadside and home recovery, repairs at approved body shops, policy excess protection and guaranteed vehicle replacement.

Our network of owned and contracted body shops gives us 360-degree oversight of all vehicle repairs, so there are no nasty surprises when it comes to costs. All ongoing repairs are continuously updated on our claims platform, which means that clients, brokers, insurers and our partners, are fully up to date with the status of each repair.

In addition to this transparency, all repair work is fully guaranteed and warrantied, in keeping with fleet operators’ high standards and expectations.

Alongside this support is also our personal injury service. If you or your passengers were injured in the accident, our specialist lawyers are on hand to guide and support you through the entire claims process, including an express medical assessment or any legal proceedings.

If you’re a fleet manager tired of paying over the odds for repairs, or fed up of waiting too long to get your vehicles back on the road, then give the team at Integrity a call and they’ll have you in top gear in no time. Contact them here, email at contact@integritycm.co.uk or call 020 8556 6633.
