Survey reveals insurers are missing opportunities to win new telematics customers
In fact, only 4% of respondents received communication from insurers to promote telematics-based insurance. In particular, insurers did not inform customers of reduced premium opportunities.
Could comparison websites be part of the problem?
Unfortunately, comparison websites are part of the problem because they lack transparency. Consequently, insurers find it difficult to promote telematics policies on comparison websites. Consumer interest in telematics-based insurance continues to rise. More than ever, motorists recognise the savings of telematics-supported motor insurance policies.
