Introduction
When it comes to insuring high-value assets like machinery, vehicles, and equipment, insurance companies don’t just look at the asset's current condition—they also evaluate its maintenance history to assess risk. A well-maintained asset is less likely to break down, suffer damage, or cause accidents, which can lead to lower insurance premiums and better coverage options. On the other hand, assets with poor or inconsistent maintenance records may be considered higher risk and could lead to higher premiums or limited coverage.
With AssetComet, businesses can maintain detailed and accurate maintenance records, presenting their assets favorably to insurers. In this blog, we’ll explain how insurance companies assess your assets and how AssetComet’s records can help you reduce your insurance costs by demonstrating proper asset care.
How Insurers Evaluate Asset Risk
Insurance companies assess the risk of covering an asset based on several factors, and maintenance history is a key part of their evaluation. Here’s how insurers use maintenance data to assess asset risk:
- Likelihood of Failure: Well-maintained assets are less likely to suffer unexpected breakdowns or costly failures, reducing the likelihood of filing claims.
- Potential for Accidents: Equipment that undergoes regular safety inspections and repairs is less likely to cause accidents, which lowers liability risks.
- Repair and Replacement Costs: Assets that have been properly serviced throughout their lifecycle are typically cheaper to repair, making them less expensive for insurers to cover.
