Two recent news stories regarding bus insurance have attracted attention in the insurance industry.

The new stories related to incidents in an area of Poole, where a man claims a bus under the helm of Wilts And Dorset bus company has hit his vehicle three times in the last year while it was parked in North Road. On two of the occasions the it’s reported that the driver failed to stop but the second time did provided the vehicle’s owner with insurance details.
In another report, an insurance management software and training company has come up with an ideal way of making drivers for fleet management companies more aware of the cost of their negligence. Negligence which results in small dents, scrapes or minor accidents and that when considered over time, this affects the business on a whole.
If you’re running a bus company with the best bus insurance in hand, you can still be looking at a hefty additional insurance bill annually if drivers don’t feel the vehicle is their responsibility instead of just a 9-5 job.
Ensuring drivers understand that every dent costs the bus company a £100, every minor bump or scratch the same, then a driver can soon realise how a bus company paying £10,000 a year out on insurance excesses can affect their yearly bonuses.
Finding the best and cheapest bus insurance is the easy task. Ensuring your drivers on staff respect the bus they are driving and that bus insurance is for major bodywork and driver and passenger safety is another task that fleet managers need to address to save costs.
