Zego Partners with ABAX to drive down cost of Fleet Insurance

With Zego’s usage-based fleet insurance, your premium is determined by the amount of time that your vehicles are on the road, or the distance that they cover. To ensure that your vehicles are always fully insured, you pay a minimum base rate for your policy. A flexible top-up premium is then calculated depending on how much your vehicles are used. No matter how many miles you cover, you’ll never pay more than your agreed monthly cap.

Accurately measuring a vehicles usage is critical to the Zego fleet policy, and whilst some fleets are already utilising on-board telematics to improve operational efficiency, many still operate without the data intelligence that these devices provide. 

NEW INNOVATED USAGES AREAS POST COVID-19

Morten Strand, CEO, ABAX said: "The world of business and commerce has been changing rapidly for some time, although no-one could have foreseen the impact of  COVID19. Which has both accelerated the change, and pushed businesses into some interesting, and challenging new directions. To survive, businesses must adapt, and embrace new and innovative ideas, such as Zego’s usage-based insurance, powered by ABAX."

GREAT OPPORTUNITIES AND STRATEGIC FIT 

ABAX Open Platform enable fleet policyholders the option of a world class telematics solution, that along with reducing insurance costs, provides fleet managers with many additional benefits, including the ability to track vehicles, monitor driver behaviour, and keep fully compliant HMRC tax records. 

Dom McCormack, Chief of Staff, Zego said: “The partnership between ABAX and Zego represents a significant opportunity for both businesses, as well as the customers we serve. The relationship with ABAX will enable Zego to scale our flexible fleet insurance solutions at an increased pace, and continue to bring fairer pricing to our customers at a time where aligning costs with their revenue stream is more important than ever.”
