Adding a vehicle affects more than the vehicle list. It can change who drives what, what the fleet costs and what your insurer needs to know.
Confirm the job the vehicle is being bought for
Match payload, passenger capacity, range and expected mileage to the actual work.
Plan the driver
Make sure the intended drivers are licensed and permitted under company policy.
Update fleet records
Record purchase or lease details, service schedule, MOT requirements, keys, equipment and responsible driver.
Tell the insurer promptly
Do not assume a newly acquired vehicle is automatically covered. Follow the process required by the insurer or broker.
Check whether the existing setup still works
If vehicles are being added regularly, it may be worth checking whether separate policies or the existing fleet arrangement still make sense.
Keep the information current. Tax, vehicle and insurance rules can change. Check current official guidance or professional advice where a decision depends on a specific rule or figure.
