Auto insurers, inform your driver risk assessment at-quote

To improve profitability, it’s essential for auto insurance carriers to possess the risk data they need to price customers more accurately.

But without the right resources, you can’t accurately assess customers at quote because you might need to gather new data. The result? Inaccurate pricing and unnecessary costs.  

Telematics data allows you to determine a personalized price upfront that benefits both you and your customers. While your customers are priced fairly based on their actual driving behavior, you can increase profitability by pricing more accurately. In other words, telematics data adds efficiency and accuracy to your pricing process. 

While your customers are priced fairly based on their actual driving behavior, you can increase profitability by pricing more accurately.

Improving the customer experience 

As costs rise for customers and insurers, personalized pricing based on actual driving behavior data is a proven way to meet customers’ high expectations. Without it, you’re less likely to attract and retain good drivers who want their driving behavior reflected in their pricing at quote. Instead, you may find yourself with a book of drivers who have a different risk profile than you intended, leaving profitability up to chance. In an Arity webinar, Robin Harbage said, “It is game changer to me the idea that, at point of sale, you then give somebody a price that is absolutely more related to the risk than what’s ever been available before.”

Long monitoring periods that lead to delayed risk assessments offer no visibility into profitability at quote. Then when price increases occur down the line, you risk customer dissatisfaction. But when your pricing process is tied directly to actual driving behavior, you’ll build customer loyalty while ensuring you are accurately pricing every driver.  

 

Driving long-term benefits for your organization 

Beyond accurate upfront pricing and better customer satisfaction, telematics pricing at quote generates long-term value for your business. By leveraging telematics driving behavior data, you can avoid underpricing unsafe drivers and overpricing valuable customers. With better drivers in your book of business you’re better positioned to reap several long-term benefits: 

  • Lower expenses: Avoid the unnecessary claims costs that come with bad drivers.  
  • Increased average customer lifetime value: Find and retain the most valuable drivers 
  • Long-term profitability: Do business with drivers that improve your bottom line over time.  

Henry Kowal said in an Arity webinar, “[Telematics] is a great equalizer. So whether you’re a large insurance carrier of mid-sized or a smaller sized tier, it levels the playing field for all carriers.”

“It levels the playing field for all carriers.”
