Patons Insurance, the leading provider of taxi, motortrade and fleet insurance services, has launched a new offering that is designed to reduce premiums by as much as 30 per cent for private hire and chauffeur businesses. The integrated insurance and 3G vehicle camera solution, with dedicated risk management and driver behaviour monitoring, will help operators to better manage costs, protect drivers and improve road safety.

The integrated solution will take advantage of the IT1000 3G vehicle camera, which is the most sophisticated device currently available with unrivalled accuracy and technology that is sixteen times more powerful than existing solutions in the marketplace. As well enabling Patons Insurance to offer reduced premiums, this forward-facing camera has been proven to lower accident frequency by up to 45 per cent and reduce claims cost by more than 25 per cent as a result of instant intervention.

Meanwhile, Patons Insurance’s dedicated risk management team will work with customers to identify and address potential safety issues. The consultancy service will monitor driver behaviour, using data and video footage captured by the vehicle camera, to highlight areas of risk and pinpoint underperforming employees that could benefit from some form of training or engagement. This will include monthly reports with an overview of driver performance to provide added insight and an understanding of any ongoing operational trends.

Billy Paton, Chief Executive of Patons commented: “By taking our integrated approach we believe private hire and chauffeur operators can achieve significant improvements in terms of road safety, insurance costs and Duty of Care. By using our longstanding experience within the sector coupled the latest advances in fleet management, we are able to work closely with our customers to develop a policy that is tailored to their precise needs and achieves measurable benefits.”
