Marsh has inked a partnership deal with AI-powered telematics provider Samsara to help UK fleets reduce risk and cut premiums.

The insurance broker will combine Samsara’s real-time operational data with its risk advisory services to help fleet operators better manage their rising insurance costs.

The strategic collaboration integrates Samsara’s real-time operational data with Marsh’s risk advisory services.

Participating fleets can share real-time driving, incident and operational data from Samsara with Marsh, enabling risk to be assessed using current performance.

Marsh will be able to incorporate fleet performance data directly into client risk assessments, helping operators build an evidence-based renewal position aligned to their actual exposure.

The added visibility supports earlier intervention, faster claims notification and stronger documentation for insurers at renewal.

The partnership comes as fleet motor insurance premiums continue to rise. This has prompted UK government scrutiny, with official reviews highlighting vehicle theft, rising claims severity and inconsistent claims data as key cost drivers.

Many insurers are placing greater emphasis on demonstrable risk reduction, timely incident reporting and verifiable safety performance – opening more opportunities to shift away from reactive claims handling toward continuous, data-driven risk management.

Alistair Brighton, CEO, Corporate & Commercial at Marsh Risk UK, said the collaboration would enable more informed discussions with both clients and insurers.

Through Samsara’s API integration, Marsh can incorporate fleet performance data directly into client risk assessments, helping operators build an evidence-based renewal position aligned to their actual exposure. For fleets, this moves insurance conversations from backward-looking claims history to measurable, ongoing safety performance.

By enabling faster reporting and clearer incident evidence, fleets can reduce both claim frequency and severity before renewal pressure escalates. Samsara customers have seen a 30% reduction in claims frequency and a 27% decrease in personal injury claims through in-cab alerts and real-time safety insights. These proven results significantly lower fleet risk profiles for insurers.

Amit Vyas, chief revenue officer at Samsara, said the partnership would help fleets stay safe and run more efficiently.

“Through our exclusive agreement in the UK, we’re combining Samsara’s real-time data with Marsh’s risk advisory analytics. This gives customers better visibility into their operations, helps them reduce risk and ultimately should deliver better insurance outcomes.”
