DealerPolicy, which connects car buyers with insurance quotes, is licensed to operate in the lower 48 US states and claims to have written over $200m in premiums since 2016.

Paul Pate, a vice president in the Growth Equity business within Goldman Sachs Asset Management said: “DealerPolicy has successfully pioneered the assimilation of personal insurance into the automotive retail process, in a unified and compliant manner.”

“We’re thrilled to support the DealerPolicy team as they continue to transform the purchase of cars and insurance.”

DealerPolicy co-founder and CEO Travis Fitzgerald said: “We started the company with the vision of providing a more convenient, transparent, and connected car-buying experience.”

“The funding comes at a time when we’re seeing mainstream adoption of automotive insurance into dealer sales and F&I processes driven by consumer desire for new dealership practices.”

Earlier this year, DealerPolicy raised $30m in a Series B funding round.
