London-based InsurTech Zego has expanded its partnership with RSA Insurance to provide flexible cover for van fleets.

Zego is offering usage-based policies to delivery, courier or trade van fleets of 20-200 vehicles in the UK, reducing upfront costs for these businesses.

RSA is not providing Zego with capital, just its Standard & Poor’s “A” rating, which allows Zego to sell its van fleet product at scale, said a Zego representative, who explained that many fleets require a UK-based “A”-rated insurer. The two companies first partnered in 2018 to offer pay-as-you-go insurance for part-time courier and parcel delivery drivers.

With a Zego usage-based policy, a van fleet owner whose vehicles are not on the road will never pay more than a base subscription rate, the company said. Additionally, if the business experiences a sudden increase in demand, its costs are capped so that it will never pay more than an agreed limit.
