Answer Financial Introduces Rate Tracker Price Alerts for Car Insurance

"Insurance is one of the largest expenses for most households," said Darren Howard, Chief Marketing Officer for Answer Financial. "Our customers are busy with life, work, family – so they may not have time to regularly shop around for insurance. Now with Rate Tracker, Answer makes their lives easier by tracking prices for them."

Rate Tracker is a game changer in the way people shop for auto insurance, by automating a complex and time-consuming process. Rate Tracker builds upon Answer's proprietary comparison technology and established insurance carrier relationships, working in the background to check prices before a customer's current auto insurance policy renews. If an opportunity for potential savings is found, the customer is alerted with an email and a push notification through Answer's policyholder app, Answer Mobile^TM. If Rate Tracker finds the current policy is still the most competitive, the customer is informed that they still have a great rate, giving them peace of mind and confidence that they are not overpaying for their car insurance.

"Rate Tracker has been a homerun with our customers. It's blowing away our expectations with about 90% of people signing up for the service when they buy a policy," said Howard.

Rob Slingerland, CEO adds, "Rate Tracker is one of many ways we take care of our customers as their insurance agent. Our powerful insurance comparison solution was first introduced 20 years ago to simplify how people find and buy the right auto and home insurance for their needs. Over the years we've continued to evolve and expand our offering to take insurance to the next level of convenience, with 24/7 availability and mobile solutions like digital ID cards and roadside assistance through the Answer Mobile policyholder app. Rate Tracker is the latest service we're bringing to the market, exclusively for Answer customers."

Answer's virtual insurance agency compares rates and customer ratings for people in all 50 states, both when they first shop and at renewal time. Shoppers can buy directly online from Answer's mobile-friendly website or over the phone with a US-based insurance expert. With the company's Answer Mobile app, customers also have access to digital insurance ID cards and policy information, as well as roadside assistance and easy claims reporting. As their agent, Answer provides 24/7 customer care. Answer also recently launched its telematics-based mobile app, Streetwise Drivers Club, which rewards good drivers with deals on name brands, gift cards, dining, entertainment, and insurance savings in some states.
