We recently commissioned a national survey of UK drivers which highlighted the willingness to share driver data is changing and that drivers are demanding more from their next vehicle purchase. Nearly a third of drivers surveyed(29%) want their next vehicle to include a Usage-Based Insurance (UBI) / Pay as You Drive (PAYD) insurance solution as part of the connected services offered by the vehicle manufacturer.
Along with a UBI/PAYD solution over a quarter (27%) of UK drivers want their next car to offer an automatic crash detection solution. This cutting-edge tech alerts the vehicle manufacturer when a crash or incidenth as occurred allowing them to help manage the situation. The results of the national survey highlight a real shift in drivers’ willingness to share their driving data with only 19% of drivers not happy to even if it was going to ‘save them money or help in an accident’.
At Verex we use cutting-edge technology and connected car data managed solutions to offer a range of services to their network of 16 UK vehicle manufacturers, including; Usage Based Insurance (UBI), Pay As You Drive(PAYD) and a proactive “E-FNOL” (First Notification Of Loss) solution.
