AUTOMOTIVE add-on insurance provider Premia Solutions has completed a successful pilot scheme of its online product portal, Look After My Car.

The portal was launched mid-2018 in response to the FCA’s changing regulations around the promotion of financial products.

It is designed to ensure that brokers can provide customers with a service that protects them and their vehicles for the full length of hire.

Despite current industry uncertainties, the need for products such as GAP, SMART or Tyre and Alloy insurance on new vehicles has not changed.

For example, keyless entry – a mod con installed ‘as standard’ on an increasing number of vehicles – accounted for 88% of vehicle thefts in 2018.

This can mean if a car is stolen, the driver is left out of pocket through no fault of their own.

This is where Look After My Car steps in.

With customers looking to complete ever-more transactions online, offering access to a suite of products through an exclusive portal can provide a differentiator against competition.

This increases the likelihood of retaining that customer when a contract expires.

The pilot ran for six months with a focused set of brokers and now has over 4,000 vehicles registered on system with 51% product penetration achieved

Ian Simpson, Director, said, “We’re extremely pleased with the progress and performance of Look After My Car.

“Brokers obviously recognise their moral obligation to inform customers of these products – something difficult to achieve for many businesses who lack the correct regulatory permissions.

“This shows through the excellent feedback we have received, and the take-up of products across the board, which has surpassed even our expectations.

“There will be more changes to come this year which we look forward to sharing with the community!”
