By GlobalDataIntroduced in 2016 to improve the car-buying experience for customers, the DealerPolicy Insurance platform offers integrated insurance solution at point-of-sale to the automotive retail industry.
DealerPolicy Insurance, and its network of over 800 dealers, has generated over $13m in annualised insurance savings so far.
Customers who save get an average of $64 per month back into their budget, which can be reinvested into other vehicle insurance products.
DealerPolicy CEO Travis Fitzgerald said: “Modern insurance solutions such as DealerPolicy’s FastPass, dovetail nicely into the process and give car-buyers the value and convenience they have come to expect.
“Nearly 8 out of 10 shoppers believe that comparing insurance at the point-of-sale during the car-buying process substantially improves the experience.
“With an ever-expanding value proposition to dealers, insurance carriers and customers, we are prepared to continue investing in growth.”
