(1888PressRelease) December 16, 2010 - Victoria, London With average retail fuel prices expected to exceed £1.25 per litre before Christmas 2010 according to the recent industry reports, moving forward to 2011 it will be vital to apply a strong fuel management policy. When applied successfully the savings could make or break some fleets over the next year.

The approach is a long term one, and should not involve the hassle of shopping around every week for the cheapest fuel offers. Instead fleet managers are advised to challenge their fuel providers to present sustainable fuel management programmes which will give discounts over the financial year, and not only for the short term. Take this approach, stick to it and it will help your bottom line for 2011.

Another angle on fuel management was revealed in the Pricewaterhouse Cooper Company Car UK 2010 report. The report revealed that 42% of surveyed companies are now encouraging home working. Car sharing, the report also showed, is equally rising in popularity.

Hand in hand with this is another controllable management area - fleet insurance. If you own, or work for a business that has three or more vehicles insured in the company's name, odds are you could with fleet insurance, or you already are.

Companies who have existing fleet policies are advised to shop around, but to bear in mind a balance between the cost and the cover which is being offered.

Apart from shopping around to make significant savings for the coming financial year, it is advisable to re-evaluate the vehicles and drivers which currently make up the fleet. If the fleet includes high end or sporty cars, you can declare to the insurance provider that you will restrict the driving age for these vehicles.

Additionally examine the age brackets, as licensed drivers over 30 are the bracket which will be more cost effective. The other common age brackets are over 25 and over 21.

Companies who apply an intensive re-evaluation to their fleets find that fleet insurance costs end up with a big saving. This approach can also be applied to families who have sufficient vehicles, who can then avail of family fleet insurance ( http://www.cover4fleetinsurance.co.uk/family-fleet-insurance.html ).
