Car Insurance App Made Available for iPhone
Why spend all your time searching around for different car insurance quotes? Instead of drudging through site after site and tons of unnecessary information, MoneySupermarket has come up with an iPhone app that makes it easy and efficient to find the right policy at the right price.
In association with MIG (Mobile Interactive Group), MoneySupermarket created the iPhone app to give consumers a way to search for a car insurance policy that meets their individual needs. Today, shopping around for car insurance is of the utmost importance. Premiums have steadily increased over the past year and people are looking for better alternatives to their current policies. The app can be downloaded at the Apple App Store and at the MoneySupermarket website.
How It Works
After downloading the app, iPhone users will need to create a MoneySupermarket account. The information entered, including name, age and occupation, will be used by the app to calculate the current insurance premiums for several different providers. Accurate information ensures that the quotes are accurate as well. If you plan to compare rates over and over again until you find something you like, the information will be saved and you will not need to enter it each time you open the app.
Some people don’t know a lot of important details about their vehicles. They can tell you the make and model, but sometimes the other information is a little foggy. This app is able to retrieve information about your vehicle in one of two ways. Take a picture of your vehicle or a picture of the car registration plate and using the DVLA database, the app searches for the appropriate vehicle and includes the necessary information. This can prevent inaccurate data from being accepted into the process.
From there, the list of companies and their rates are available to users. You can sort through the list, save the options you are interested in and find contact information for each provider. Multiple vehicles can be added to the comparison. The easiest part? When you have found a rate that works for you, just press the call button to be connected to the insurance provider. You can learn more about the policy and ask any questions during the phone call.
Why You Need It
If you currently have car insurance, you may be wondering whether this type of app will benefit you in any way. If you are happy with your current provider, why shop around? Looking around at other potential policies puts you in control of your car insurance premiums. You can check to see if someone else is offering a lower price for the same insurance coverage you currently have.
The app is free and there is no obligation for using it. You can continue to search and look through your options without ever being required to purchase anything. If you do want to make a purchase, it is convenient, but not required. This app gives you the ability to conveniently shop around and according to the ABI (Association of British Insurers), vehicle owners are encouraged to compare prices with as many different companies as possible.
