Survey reveals insurers are missing opportunities to win new telematics customers

CAMBRIDGE, UK – A survey conducted by Redtail Telematics, the long-established provider of telematics solutions for the automotive, insurance and fleet sectors, and YouGov reveals that insurers are missing opportunities to win new telematics motor insurance customers.

Just 4% of respondents said they'd received communication from insurers about telematics...

Only 4% of respondents have received any communication from insurers about adopting telematics-based insurance to help reduce premiums.

Could comparison websites be part of the problem?

This low number is partly owing to the lack of transparency offered by price comparison websites and is at odds with consumer demand as the interest in telematics-based insurance continues to rise. Motorists, more than ever recognise the savings that can be achieved by switching to a telematics-supported motor insurance policy.

Redtail Telematics will apply its insight, experience and expertise to create bespoke processed data streams from Ford vehicles’ multiple sensors

18th February 2022.  Leading Telematics Service Provider Redtail Telematics has signed an agreement with Ford Motor Company, whereby Redtail Telematics will become a technical partner and reseller of connected vehicle data to motor insurers for both personal and commercial lines in the UK.

As part of the agreement, Redtail Telematics will apply its insight, experience and expertise to create bespoke processed data streams from Ford vehicles’ multiple sensors that are of actionable value for motor insurers.  That data will allow those insurers to maximise their understanding of policyholders to manage premium, risk, reward and claims processes.

The partnership between Ford and Redtail Telematics provides insurers with substantial and accurate data that does not rely on the installation of a ‘black box’ in the vehicle, offering a cost-effective alternative. Subject to customer consent, data is extracted from the vehicle and enables insurers to reach new market segments who pay lower premiums.

Redtail CEO Dr Colin Smithers commented:

“Redtail Telematics’ partnership with Ford in the UK helps insurance providers use connected vehicle data – without the need for plug-in devices – to inform their usage-based insurance programs, improve their underwriting process, and pass along driver behaviour discounts to those Ford vehicle owners who qualify”.

Mark Harvey, Director, Enterprise Connectivity, Ford of Europe said:

“Ford is excited to further extend its usage-based insurance offering in partnership with Redtail Telematics, which will allow our customers across the UK to benefit from even greater value for money insurance policies”

"Our school bus customers in Louisiana like the Redtail Fleet solution because the technology allows drivers to take the buses home at night. REDTAIL boundary alerts and 24/7 location means that the bus system managers can be assured the buses don’t take unauthorized trips and are parked where they’re supposed to be on weekends.

Of course, one of the biggest REDTAIL benefits is their Team; they always provide the highest levels of service."

"Zen-tinel has been a business partner with REDTAIL for many years now as our high tech products complement each other in the school bus market.  We have also had a very good experience as a REDTAIL Reseller.

One key selling point in the bus market is REDTAIL’s annual service program, which comes with two months free of service, since school buses typically don’t run in the Summer. Another benefit is the idling alert - many states do not allow buses to idle for more than 5 minutes, and our customers in Pittsburgh really appreciate the heads-up."

"We began working with Redtail in 2016 and from the outset were impressed by their responsive approach to customers in creating our first OBD offering ahead of planned schedule, which they only achieved by over the top efforts.  The Redtail OBD product has proved to be very high quality and reliable, enabling us to experience far better than average product return rates for the industry.

Their deliveries have always been 100% to time or even better, despite some unexpected orders. That marks a good partnership. It’s not only technology, it’s also the way we got to know Redtail as a company - thinking ahead and putting real effort in to getting things done, with a solution oriented approach, even with the unexpected."

Our van was stolen on Saturday morning. It left the building at 6:38 am and the technician arrived at 8. We didn’t know if it was stolen or if a driver had borrowed it, but by 10 we realized it was stolen. The tech logged on and tracked it. We found it was driving around and then parked for 6 minutes. Cops were dispatched and arrested 5 people in the van.



Unfortunately, all our equipment and tools were already gone. We gave the cops a printout of all the stops the van made and they are going to follow up and try and retrieve them. As far as we’re concerned, the Redtail units just paid for themselves! We’re buying more."

The remaining employees are more productive now just knowing that we use Redtail. It’s very user-friendly and easy to install.



We don’t get great cell coverage where we are but it’s been Johnny on the spot. It showed me both addresses at a job site based on where the truck was parked: it’s that precise! I use it with my iPad and plan to order another unit. Highly recommended."

I didn’t care about the money so much, but I definitely care about our good name!

"We tried another GPS tracking system 4 years ago but had significant problems with it. Then we met with Redtail at the 2011 Limo show in Vegas and received our first demo unit in March 2012. The website is very user friendly, and all our dispatchers can navigate through and find exact locations of our vehicles. The whole Redtail team has been outstanding to work with and we look forward to a long relationship."   John Buzzard

"With the second stolen truck we could track its route and all of its stops around Oklahoma City. In 20/20 hindsight we could have set a geo-fence around it and probably nabbed the thief. But it turned out to be a good move just taking our truck back when we did - because a tornado ripped through that neighborhood a couple of days later, and we would have lost it if we’d waited.



The Redtail GPS tracking works really well for stolen vehicle recovery. We love it – I’m putting one on my restored ’79 Trans Am."

"When the first truck was stolen we were running the Redtail GPS on it so we knew exactly where it was: in the back of a trailer park. We called the police so they could be there to supervise the recovery of our stolen property. The officer was skeptical: how do you know it’s there he asked.



I showed him on my smartphone: it’s right here, on such-and-such a road. Those things could be a mile off said the policeman. I said I’ve never known that to happen. So we all went back there and retrieved our truck – exactly where Redtail said it was."
