DETROIT, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- For more than
20 years, General Motors' OnStar brand has empowered customers to
drive with confidence, offering services that provide added peace
of mind on the road. GM announced today it will take its relentless
focus on safety and delivering a world-class customer experience
one step further with OnStar Insurance. GM's new insurance agency,
OnStar Insurance Services, will be the exclusive agent for OnStar
Insurance.
A vehicle is one of the most significant purchases a person will
make during their lifetime. OnStar Insurance Services intends to
leverage its unique understanding of the vehicles GM produces to
offer a secure, fair, personalized and easy-to-use digital
insurance experience for drivers.
"OnStar Insurance will promote safety, security and peace of mind,"
said Andrew Rose, president of
OnStar Insurance Services. "We aim to be an industry leader,
offering insurance in an innovative way. GM customers who have
subscribed to OnStar and connected services will be eligible to
receive discounts, while also receiving fully-integrated services
from OnStar Insurance Services."
Over the next few years, OnStar Insurance Services plans to develop
a digital insurance experience that is:
SECURE
OnStar Insurance Services envisions a world where
customers can drive with added confidence knowing they are
protecting themselves, their passengers and their vehicles whenever
the unexpected happens. In the future, if an accident occurs,
OnStar Insurance policyholders who have an OnStar Safety &
Security plan will have added peace of mind knowing that Automatic
Crash Response1 can notify an OnStar Emergency-certified
Advisor2 who can send for help.
FAIR
OnStar Insurance Services is working with its
insurance carrier partners to offer insurance that takes biased
judgement out of insurance shopping by focusing on factors within
the customer's control: individual vehicle usage and rewarding
smart driving habits that benefit road safety.
PERSONALIZED
OnStar Insurance Services plans to provide
customers with personalized vehicle care and promote safer driving
habits. With advanced technology and data-backed analyses of
driving behavior, OnStar Insurance Services plans to build on the
learnings of the OnStar Smart Driver feature to provide proactive
recommendations for smarter driving habits so customers can drive
more safely and potentially earn discounts.
EASY TO USE
OnStar Insurance Services seeks to create a
centralized location for customers' automotive insurance needs. In
the coming years, OnStar will work to provide customers with a
seamless insurance shopping experience. With OnStar Insurance
Services, convenient online support will be available, and OnStar
Insurance Services' agents will stand ready to help customers with
insurance needs.
Starting with Arizona residents,
OnStar Insurance Services will initially offer OnStar Insurance to
GM employees in Q4 2020, expanding to additional customers,
including the general public, in early 2021.
