In the latest BVRLA blog, Alistair Warden, Managing Director, Corporate Motor at associate member and self-drive hire specialist Towergate Insurance explains how Towergate are partnering with fellow BVRLA associate member Synectics Solutions to give access to National SIRA checks and help the self-drive hire industry fight fraud.
UK self-drive hire businesses can better protect themselves against fraudsters and add a new weapon to their armoury thanks to a screening solution being offered to help rental desk teams assess risk.
Alistair goes on to explain how the risk intelligence can also help with insurance cover “In terms of avoiding ‘bad apple’ claims that can potentially send premiums for a fleet soaring, this kind of risk intelligence can make a big difference. Our experience in placing rental fleets with insurers is that a firm demonstrating excellent risk management best practices is far more attractive to an Underwriter, when they are considering the covers and pricing offered. The access to SIRA is another step in us helping a hirer protect their claims experience and as such, deliver them a better deal on what is a large cost and worry for them.”
