Frequently asked questions

Will the Fleet Fit programmes cost me anything to use?

The majority of the Fleet Fit programmes are funded by NZI for our Commercial Motor Vehicle policy clients, although there are some exceptions. The services of our Fleet Risk Management Team are free to our clients.

Will participation in the Fleet Fit programmes reduce my insurance premiums?

Participation in these programmes won’t reduce your premiums as they are influenced by your claims. But the programmes do aim to reduce your business risks and improve your on-road safety, which may flow through to reducing costs and business expense.

I want to put my drivers through some of the Fleet Fit programmes, how do I arrange this?

You can either ask your broker to contact our Fleet Risk Managers team, or you can get in touch directly by emailing FRM@nzi.co.nz.

What is Crash Scene Assistance?

Simple – it’s an accident recovery assistance service in your time of need.

Is Fleet Fit just for trucks?

If you have a truck, trailer, construction equipment, mobile plant and/or agriculture equipment insured under a NZI commercial vehicle/mobile plant policy, then this is available for you.
